HomeEasy HE107

Is there anyway to convert the HE107 from on/off/dim to be just on/off as I have 6 x 4w non-dimmable LED's = 24w.....below the minimum of 40w....

Very unlikely. These dimmers - as with the LightwaveRF dimmers that I bought - all tend to use an IC (PIC) that is programmed to ramp-up till released and ramp-down till released. You'll just need to get into the habit of briefly tapping the switch for full-on and full-off operation.

Ah OK.
When you say "is the byebyestandby compatible with the HomeEasy 107"
do you mean:
a). Are the rf remote control codes compatible
or
b). Can you wire the byebyestandby switch to feed the HomeEasy 107 switch?

I think i thinking both.....ish....lol

I was thinking use the HE107 switch - amend it so its on/off (somehow...dunno how though)....even if it means losing the RF capability....but then wiring in the byebyestandy inceiling/backbox module to handle the RF......

make sense ?....

Makes total sense but it's unlikely that the remote control codes are compatible. It seems that all RF controllers on 433.9 MHz are incompatible (i.e have unique codes) and all IR remote controls interfere with each other!
I'm not sure that plan B will work either as most electronic light switches like to see a nice sine-wave (= mains 50 Hz) and not a chopped up supply delivered by electronic switch outputs.
So I reckon your best bet is to go with byebyestandby in the back of the plate and fit your nice 107 front plate that will do absolutely nothing apart from look good!! Or buy some new kit!! Or bump up your LED's to 40W.

so how wud i wire in/amend the HE107 so it worked as a touch on/off switch only...and the blue led working too ??

else...may just have to bump up the LED's to be 40w then....shame homeEasy dont have a on/off only version

As I have been trying to explain - you probably can't.
If you are clever with electronics then you can feed the HE107 blue LED from the byebyestandby mains output.
