I have a dimmer switch on a two-way circuit - what goes where?

I want to change it to a standard switch (Com, 1way, 2way)

Thanks for any help.
 
Ok, but the dimmer says it will only work as two-way with a slave unit. I assumed the switch pictured was the slave unit.

The stock answer would be:
Live to 1way
Slave to COM
Load to 2way.

Plus it is odd that the wires are all blue. Mark which is which before disconnecting.

Don't forget to connect the earth wire.

Worked like a dream! Thanks again!
