Danny -

My guess is that EIB/ Konnex is what you're looking for, and whether you=20
can make it work or not will depend on your business skills, the amount=20
of business you can generate, the prices you can obatin the kit for, and=20
the ingenuity you can deploy in its application ...

It's very well specified & high quality ...
