RE: CBus wiring and consumer unit

[Martin Wonders <martin.wonders@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

I'll be automating all the lights and all the lamp circuits. Hadn't thought
about automating the power sockets and
Can't think of many situations where I would need to, have you done it?

Cheers

Martin,

OK, I see. In that case I think I'd be tempted to put *everything* in N0
- you've then got no confusion as to where certain things are wired from.
That said, running the cooker circuit from the utility area also makes
sense. Are you automating every light and socket, or only some ?

Cheers,
