£20 all in with change. For a reliable system, fit it once and forget it. No batteries to replace, no devices to pair together, no radio interference problems.

thanks - got the above yesterday. Just need to figure out the wiring and fit it later on

I forgot to mention sleeving, the existing earth sleeve looks quite big, it may slide off to allow the new to be included and slid back on., the new black and grey should be tagged with brown (or red) sleeve, tape will be fine too.

The new cable will be connected to the other switch in exactly the same layout.

Dammit, the cable i had in mind to use is a 2core and earth, not 3. Looks like it will be a job for tomorrow but thank you for the diagram. Hopefully it makes sense when I get around to it!
