Homebase Retractive dimmer switch problems!!

[stanigan]

Hello! I'm at my wits end with these amazingly stupid switches!! I have worked out the way to wire them and have had that confirmed by two experts but my problem lies with the Momentary Action Retractive press switch in a two way installation.

I have the electronic dimmer switch working perfectly but the retractive switch doesn't work!! I have checked the retractive switches are working correctly and they appear to be fine but just don't seem to do anything to the operation of the light!!!

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

How are they wired? How are they connected to the dimmer? Can you upload some pics?

Hi, these are the basics!!

Live feed to L on dimmer and com on retractive switch
wire inbetween RS (dimmer) and L1 (retractive)
wire to light unit from SW/Live on dimmer
N feed straight to light unit

It is using a normal 60w bulb not fluorescent or low voltage

The switches are from GET if that helps.

Will try and find a link a attach a diagram asap!

Thanks for the reply!
