RE: Help!

["Peter Felt" <peterfelt@xxxxxxx>]

Cheers for the advice guys, HomeVision it is then - seems to be the clear
winner, can anyone recommend a good site on the Web or  a Physical
Outlet/shop for  buying the components i need? Iknow about
letsautomate.com,
is this the best one or are there any others?

Thanks

Peter
