Hi,

I replaced my mechanical switches with SCS, would this mean that I have to have two banks of switches to safe guard myself in a Comfort blackout ?

Or can the SCS be used in two way switching.

Thanks

The SCSes cannot be used as a backup. They are not high voltage switches. I certainly hope you haven\'t tried using them as such! Tongue
Yes, you could probably use them to achieve a similar \"two-way switching\" effect by playing with the SCS/RIO responses to toggle the TWS relays state. However, note that it will also fail if Comfort isn\'t working. What you could also purchase similar looking high voltage two-way switches as the SCS to complement each other. Wink

Thanks,

I am going to install set of emergency mechanical switches in a cupboard or some place.

This would have it\'s own 12 v supply that will power up selected relays in an emergency.

Thanks again
