  We have begun a programme to obtain high-precision photometry of bright
detached eclipsing binary (dEB) stars with the Wide field InfraRed Explorer
(WIRE) satellite. Due to the small aperture of WIRE only stars brighter than
V=6 can be observed. We are collecting data for about a dozen dEB targets and
here we present preliminary results for three of them. We have chosen dEBs with
primary components of B and early A type. One of our aims is to combine the
information from the light curve analyses of the eclipses with asteroseismic
information from the analysis of the pulsation of the primary component.
