    I'm wiring the LV stuff now and want to make sure that I only need to wire the + and - (4 wires) on the input devices or should I connect the 2 pairs of remaining wires for the remote on/off in a terminal block too?

    I'm not sure if there are any devices that need remote on/off wired.

    Hi Lenny

    No, you don't need to connect the extra pairs if you are not using the remote on/off. This feature is rarely used.

    OK, that's good. I've only got switches and a couple of PIRs to go on, if anything ever comes along in the future that needs the remote on/off I'll go back to join them up.
