More about this change

Each switch gets a Hue wall switch module. The intermediate switches stay as controls.

What to watch out for

  • Some cores are left over in the boxes. Insulate each one so it can be used again later.
  • Before rewiring, check that your cables have textbook colours. You can enter different colours in the calculator.
