Re: X10 light switch control - in layman's terms please :-)



If you have plasterboard walls you could try the 'gadgetjunkie bodgematic
LW10 conversion'.
Simply connect a nice looking clipsal momentary switch accross the contacts
inside a LW10, secure with hot glue and stash the LW10 in the wall cavity,
just behind the clipsal.
