RE: Help!

["Kenneth Watt" <kennethwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Peter,

I have not used laser so I can't comment.

Mike gets all my business because his advice and backup are excellent,
quite
often beyond the call (plug Mike, remember that for the next order ;o)). I
have found the help from Mike and Craig at CSI (who makes the HV unit)
absolutely invaluable over the last year or so as I am new to all this and
I'm still on a very steep learning curve! In other word I would,
unreservedly, recommend using Mike at Let's Automate.

K.

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
