Subject: [ukha_d] Good
news!
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 ;-)
