Finally my local B&Q have taken delivery of the LightwaveRF WiFi Link and I popped in earlier to pick one up. You can order one here through Amazon if you wish: Buy LightwaveRF WiFi Link on-line through Amazon. The packaging is the usual high quality I have come to expect from JSJS Designs and was a bugger to get into due to it being sealed inside a plastic tray.

As part of a complete refurb including new plaster, we have just had a radiator replaced in our master bedroom.
