Switch and Dimmer In Parallel

[Michael]

Hi,

I am rewiring a light switch, but want it computer controlled, dimmable, and
on/off. Having now got all the things, just wanted to check before I switch
on, that I can wire them all in parallel so any one of them will turn them
on...

In the UK, so 230V 50Hz AC...

If your controlling them via software of some kind, surely its your job to
work out if the switches will workout in parallel ?

And if your are talking about the lamps in parallel, it ill depend on the
switching load of the transistors you are using.

Dunno about the UK, but over on the left side of the pond we have all
sorts of X10 gizmaos that will make your juryriged monster look pitiful.
Look into a Euro-X10 sort of solution.
