Re: X10 in Loo

["nick broughton" <mail@xxxxxxx>]

Not in my house, to gain entry via the downstairs loo, they'd have to come
in through about 15ft of extractor fan venting.

I think I'd be calling Mulder and Scully :-).

But seriously, I know most downstairs loo's do have a window.  The Hall's
going to have a PIR for the alarm system, why put one in the loo?  How many
'normal' households put PIR's in bathrooms, loos, side porches and the
like?
