Is there such a thing ?
I need to add a timed override ON function to an existing switch for out door lighting without doing anything to the existing wiring to the switch.
The timer is to be triggered by a wireless signal from the garden gate opening to give about 5 minutes ON irrespective of the state of the ON-OFF switch. Timer to remain timing ON after the gate is shut.
At a push I could fit a new back box and blank front plate beneath the existing switch to house the timer unit and connect it across the switch.
Another option is to replace the switch with a remote controlled switch and timer and have the ON-OFF switch located elsewhere.
I am sure there must be off the shelf standard modules to solve this.
