Just bought a A/C from B&Q for £98

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been struggling to get some decent cooling/air flow inside Node 0=20
(which is in the Garage), and I had recently installed a shower
extractor=20
fan to draw in cooler air. This was hanging off an X10 appliance module,=20
which in turn was activated by Comfort from the =A38 temp. sensors
recently=
=20
talked about.=20

Except it didnt really get cool enough.

So, trotted down to B&Q last night after some shopping, and they have
a=20
range of A/C's for =A3100. Some with digital displays, and one with chunky=
=20
old school controls.

I can confirm the former are no good for X10 control, as when you lose=20
power (ie X10 off), the system requires you to not only press the power=20
button on the front, but also resets all the temp. controls etc. So I've=20
bought the old school manual dials version (C rated for energy - unlike
A=20
rated for the digital version).

Works a treat - Comfort detects when it gets too warm via the sensor
(you=20
preset the sensor to a value), and once activated triggers the A/C unit=20
via X10.=20

Now I need to place the A/C permanently and fix the ducting in place.
