Makes them even more impressive imo! Must be the value of RF still and being super lower power maybe. Soooooo what about this? Turn of the power at the fuse box. Then if I got my multimeter out and put it in continuity mode I should then be able to safely test which pair of wires break...

Thanks brummy Dave!! I like experimenting and it's fine with low power stuff. But ofcourse I understand the risks with mains and high voltage which is why I decided to post on the forum and not mess with it until I was either confident I knew what I was doing or that I would need to call someone...

Hi Geoff , your absolutely right! Funny you mentioned that , Ive got to admit I do have one of those already in the toilet for night times...!! As everyone started by making me feel silly for even bringing up the question , didn't mention it earlier... Aha. I just replaced the light switch with...

Good thinking but it's a flat in one of those old converted warehouses , think it was done around 2003-ish. This looks intriguing! Didn't know these existed! This would actually fit the bill perfectly. How would I wire the extra switch in? Love how funny you guys find this. Understandably I...

Here's a pic of the two switches. Definetely reckon you are right pro Dave , wall sounds pretty hollow when you tap it. Shame it's not really DIY able ! I do have a bit of experience with general electronics , low voltage stuff but not a huge amount of experience with electrics! Surely I...

Thanks all for the tips! That's helpful to know about the wiring and setup with the wall. If I don't get very far with switches then I'll look into it! Especially helpful incase if comes in handy for elsewhere too , thanks! Can confirm that the isolator switch just turns the fan off...

Completely agree with your comments at the end there Sharpend! I see tech slightly philosophically, as anything digital or not that makes our life better. Often the simplest stuff is best , "tech" that just works! It was not my intention to thrust anything in your face. This is part of my own...

Thanks for your posts. I presume you mean I could replace the isolator switch with a 2 gang switch? The isolator switch pictured above is located above the bathroom door frame, so not really an easily accessible place. The toilet light switch outside just has one cable running to it with the...

Hi All, Hope everyone is well! I have a bathroom with a fan in it. The fan turns on a few seconds after you turn on the light switch and turns itself off a few minutes after the light is switched off. I have noticed that there is an "isolator" switch located just above the bathroom door...

Thanks for the assistance Dave, much appreciated! So the previous controller was like this with just basic timer and on/off functions. I don't think it had any configurable zones as far as I know. But it was definitely all on a one-zone when we moved in last year. I think this flat was done in...

Hi All, Hope we are all keeping well. I just wanted to ask how difficult it would be to go from a single zone to dual zone heating based upon my current config. I'm in an all electric flat renovated in around 2004 which has electric panel heaters in each room and a large double coil...
