Re: The wife don't like my LW10 !!!

["Brown, Andy [Infrastructure]" <AndyB@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mike,

this is the same set up as the diagram for the brass push buttons on your
web-site right?
(http://www.letsautomate.com/brass.cfm?cfid=18683&cftoken=27584)

Where the P must be wired to the LD10, presumably I'm going to have to find
an independent constant live source for this? (i.e. I'm not going to be
able
to use cabling that forms part of the existing light setup).  Otherwise,
the
LD10 won't get signals to turn on the voltage I guess!.  Still getting my
head round this, but I think I'm there!  As a general comment, there
doesn't
seem to be a glut of technical information on these modules (or is it me
being dumb?)

Thanks

Andy
