Sadly however, it doesnt seem to work with fluorescent tubes, as my perfectly good working light wouldnt switch on with either switch, despite there being a recognition from the switch unit that it had received a signal

Connectivity-Overall11%▄▄▃█▆▄

one thing that always frustrated me was how many of them rely heavily on the internet

The only downside Ive noted is that the switching box doesnt include a connection for the earth wire found in British circuits so theres a need for an additional connection externally

When the connection drops. which has happened more times than Id like.
