Thanks

Its in the plan. It will work with either cat5(Using a serial protocol) to
a
wall switch or simple switches

I am really interested to see how the discussions develop on how we talk
with the management system, I am itching to start some rabbit code. The
dimmer part is now working ! I have put one light on it, but the other 7
channels can be seen working on the scope.

I have still a little PIC work to do but I hope to get something over to
Keith but the end of next week so he can start some hardware magic
