Abstract
In an earlier paper [6] the author wrote the homothetic equations for vacuum solutions in a first order formalism allowing for arbitrary alignment of the dyad. This paper generalises that method to homothetic equations in non-vacuum spaces and also provides useful second integrability conditions. An application to the well-known Petrov type O pure radiation solutions is given.
