[QUOTE="sio746, post: 549672, member: 37468"] Thank you Dave. Followed your instructions and I'm now in a position where all lights and fan upstairs are working. Downstairs switch working for the upstairs light too. I've removed the backup battery from my smoke alarm and the test alert works, suggesting the mains are fine there. Perhaps the odd looking cables could be from an old alarm system that was previously in place across the house? Sensors, breakers etc all still in place but not active. [/QUOTE]
