Hi all,
Basically my bathroom still has the old style pull cord switch for the light, and the rest of my flat is entirely controlled by X10, so a logical step would obviously be converting the pull cord to an X10 switch.
So, I went and bought these:
- SS13E Sitck-a-Switch
- X10-2 2-wire Appliance MicroModule from Kevin Lo
The MicroModule is an Appliance one because it also needs to control the extractor fan, which comes on with the light.
Okay, so I tried to fit the MicroModule inside the pull-cord switch housing... Doh! It is too big and won't fit in!
The base of the pull-cord switch is screwed onto the batten above, so I can't just tuck the MircoModule up in the attic either.
Instead of chiselling a hole in the batten to put the MicroModule in, can anyone advice where else can I put it please?
Is there any "pull-cord switch housing extender" or something that can make the housing bigger? Or is there any big empty box that can replace the either pull cord switch?
I am a bit stuck... (strangely, its not about electrical/electronical though) Please advice!
Thanks.
