Hi All

I'm keen to fit a timer to an existing lighting circuit (for security reasons).

The complication is that the light in on a dimmer switch. Will an inline timer object to feeding into a dimmer?

I can see another option: connect output from timer to L1 and return from dimmer to L2 of a double pole light switch (out of sight, eg with the timer), common connected onwards to the lamp. Switch then selects 'timed' or 'normal/dimmer operation'. But that seems rather overcomplicated... and maybe I've missed something??

Any thoughts??

Cheers!
