Ok, my 1st post here so please be gentle.
I'd like some help finding a solution to a lighting requirement I have at home.
Lets start with my budget... I don't want to pay more than £100 for parts all in.
Now that's said, here's my current setup;
I have a lounge that has a staircase leading off it (typical small modern build) There's a 2-way lighting circuit in the lounge, and a 2-way circuit on the upstairs landing.
They each have a single gang switch (which are both the initial points of their 2-way circuits)
Then they each share a 2-gang switch at the bottom of the stairs (2x blue, red, yellow & earth wires only at this point)
I would like to replace the switches with something that will allow me to control both circuits with my Philips Pronto RU990 (both circuits have lights capable of being dimmed)
I was thinking of getting a getplc dimmer (http://www.getplc.com/Folders/connect%5Celectronic%20&%20infrared%20dimmers.pdf), but it seems that if I were to buy a 2-gang model, the existing 2-gang switch would not have the correct connections (document says it needs to be installed where the wires from the rose meet the switch... which is in my 2x seperate single gang switches)
Is there any other way of doing this? Perhaps an RF solution that's compatable with the Pronto and a nice looking 2-gang switch to compliment the look of the dimmers.
I would like them to be in a modern looking chrome, or black chrome finish
Any advice would be great thanks.
