Can anyone assist me.
I am doing a design Course for university. I am attempting to design a system, similar to a consumer unit, where you are able to turn off lights & Sockets from one central location.
I have thought about adding further switches to the consumer unit and placing it near the door or exit. Anyone leaving the house can then turn off specific lights or sockets from the main source (ie the consumer unit). This will hopefully help reduce energy consumption and bills as people will not leave applicances on stand-by but turn the electric off from the source.
Can anyone tell me if this is a possibility? What kind of work would be involved if someone wanted to use their sonsumer unit like this (ie wiring, difficulty, cost, etc?).
Your help & advice would be much appreciated.
