Hi Nigel

Thanks - i'm really pleased with the overall effect.

I havent given any thought to using Homeseer or Comfort, probably only
because it hasnt crossed my mind before - i think with Kevin's CBus
interface there's going to be a lot more potential for interfacing with
other equipment.

I did look at Comfort a couple of years ago, but wasnt totally convinced at
the time. Perhaps i should look again...



Dean.

Dean,

WOW...

What a great advert for Home Automation. I have saved to 'My Favourites'
to
enable the release of Funds from SWMBO when the time comes for those
tricky
purchases...

I too have decided to go down the C-Bus route and wanted to intergrate
with
several Prontos. I suppose this is done via the C-Touch panel ? Having
looked
into IR integration with C-Bus I am still confused.

Do you have any plans to use Homeseer, Comfort or some other form of
central
control ?

Well Done...

Nigel
