Hi,
I have done a bit of research but mixed results (thinking that it is possibly the difference between UK and american regs)
I am connecting up a 240V curtain motor via a spur, the motor is triggered via volt-free contacts through an RJ11 socket. Was planning to run telephone / cat5e cabling (volt free switching) to a retractive switch near door. on opposite side of room. Neatest approach by far would be to use a MK logic plus grid system - two modules with one module being a switch for the existing light switch (240v) and the other being a retractive module for the curtain open/shut (mk k4900). easy enough to pull the cable, but is there a reg that prevents this?
Most internet searching suggested issues with running data cables and power together for interference reasons slowing data transfer speeds (not an issue in my case). Suspect there might be an issue having both cables side by side in back box for insulation reasons too?
If there is an issue doing this, then is there a neat alternative that could be recommended?
Thanks
