RE: Grand Designs - Cloud 8 The Return

Neil,

The green cable is a two core shielded control cable used in the Siemens
Instabus EIB home automation system. It's very similar to CBus
bus uses the two core rather than cat5.

Neil,

Any idea what the green cabling was / was for ? As you say, very little
*detail* on the HA system, but more pictures than I was expecting. Also
13.5
km of cabling in his house ? I presume that included T&E as well as
data
cabling.
