I am a complete idiot ( i think you all kindly call it a newbie!!) at HA
and
have been looking at some of the sites - esp Mark McCalls and Keith Doxey's
( both of Whom and all the others who have such fantastic HA setups, I take
my hat off t  and who I hope will give some advice when I can ask some
intelligent questions). I joined ukha_d a few days ag  and was following
the
Homebase thread. Please can someone tell me what kit or kits t  get if a
local Homebase has them? Should I get a minitimer, or the PC kit or the
Remote Control Kit or the Timer Kit, or would you advise t  get all?
Thanks
