Re: New Build

Hi James

I have been through a similar decision making process.


There should be a longish thread on my decisions.

http://www.ukha-archive.com/ml/ukhad/2008-apr/msg00269.html

I was looking to automate the following. Lighting, Heating and Alarm
system

Lighting - Wired cbus
Heating - Honeywell Smartfit
Alarm - Comfort

The reason for these choices is that they can all function together.
