Also ordered a couple of the etsy ones but this project looks just what i need, how reliable is the HUE in general as wasn’t keen on not having access to the original switch?

Given that I am so impatient, there is an alternative solution I found to this problem. It is available on Etsy and at £7.50 a pop, a very decent price.

My first 2 arrived today and took me all of about 5 minutes to fit.

Highly recommended. Obviously this is not to diminish the great work being done by Rod.
