As always the SK prices means that it is only of academic interest for most
HA followers =96 useful tips on advanced control/automation of heating, air
con, ventilation etc. I can give links to the datasheets on the web for
anyone that is interested. Hometronic is much more wallet friendly by
comparison but still costs upwards of =A31500 for a basic system.
Factsheet=

There is nothing new on the SK front just now but Sensible Heat will have
their new RS232 & webserver modules (actual production modules, not the
development units seen previously) on stand for the Hometronic system.

using the alarm status to put the heating into automatic setback, web

via HV to preheat the house on his return, temp monitoring of hot water
storage to more closely control the hot water etc. If there is any interest
in what he has done then I=92ll write up a mini review. I=92m going back
to=
the
install in Feb to add an additional interface for him to expand the
volt-free inputs between HV & Hometronic to 10, so will be getting
photos
etc at that stage.
