Title: More Newbie questions....

 > Firstly aimed at some of the locals - Mark etc. where's the best place to buy the conventional hardware - wire, sockets etc?   

Try www.letsautomate.com  Mike is now stocking CAT5, patch panels etc.  In Belfast you could also try "Euro Cable"  They're in the Harbor Industrial Estate.  On the sockets front I HIGHLY recommend Clipsal gear.  Look at http://www.Clipsal.co.uk  The stuff is available through City Electrical Factors all round the UK (and also "Balantines" in Belfast).  I know Mike is also trying to get Clipsal to sell on LetsAutomate.com.

Are you planning any get togethers - I'd appreciate a hands on chat to convince me to take a deeper plunge, and some practical tips and   advice /  encouragement, face to face.

YES!  We hope to organise something in the next week or two.  There are SIX HA nuttersin NI now :-)

> intend as mentioned to start with 'Comfort' and build the system from there.. perhaps going to home vision, I need some advice to make the system >  rdwired and designed to make this 'upgrade?' as painless as possible, or will I ever need to go down this route? 

I am a bit of a dullard when it comes to programming.  I had HomeVision first.  If I had Comfort first I may not have bought a HV (although I wouldn't be without it!).  Together they make a great system.  You need an alarm so buy Comfort.  It's a no-brainer.  See how you get on with it and in the future you can add HV if you want.
