For once I’m actually going to make an on-topic
post!
My brother’s just had an offer accepted on a huge
pile
just down the road – so I’m going to have a second attempt at
creating a disabled pad from scratch.
As both Phil (he who
dies with the most toys wins) Harris, and James
(toolbox)
Hoy can testify, because I live in a relatively small and open plan area
whole
house audio isn’t really necessary, and I use a wireless LAN so I
have no
real need to run CAT5.
I’m intending to use LD11s and AD10s for every
light
in the place, plus curtains with a Marantz
RC-5200 as
the main controller. Rather than use clipsal push
buttons for local control, I’d actually like to use an
X10 sending device located in three
or
four strategic locations in the house. What’s available that an
electrician
would be prepared to fit as part of the house
wiring?
As this really is going to be a ground up installation
(we’re
basically going to gut the existing staff cottage, and extend it), any
suggestions for state of the art HA would be gratefully received. Does
Comfort
for example have the relevant BS approval for insurance discounts?
I’m
not really into “hardcore” HA, I actually prefer to push the
buttons myself rather than have some built in intelligence decide for me
what
needs to be turned on, but any ideas will be gratefully
received.
I’ve already ear-marked an area to be used for
helicopter storage/workshop ;-)
