Automate Bathroom Pullswitch Light

I want to be able to automate my bathroom pull switch light. All the lightswitches I see on the market are for standard sockets so I'm not sure how to do this...

I want to link it with a PIR for motion turn off, but equally have it able to be turned on manually (with the pullchord)

Presumably, being a bathroom there is some level of IP rating required too...

Thoughts?

    Put a Fibaro dimmer2 behind the pull switch

    Will that work? I've watched a few vids and it seems that to use a dimmer2 you need to have a momentary switch (to be able to hold down do the dim up and down?)

    For dimming that's correct!

    Ah, but you're saying if i wire in that way, while not being able to dim, the pull chord would allow it to turn on and off still, and dimming (not that i really need it) could be controlled otherwise?

    Yup. U could set dim level with a flow .
