The other result, is that I’ve worked out that I’ll be able to buy all the automation stuff VAT free, because of course the only reason I’m putting it in is because I’m disabled ;-)

 

Now where did I put that brochure for the Pronto Pro J?

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 ;-)
