Re: Curtain Control



Back home now, here's the report from the Reading correspondant.  [The numbers reflect the items left in the store after I'd purchased the sensor, prices may not be accurate as my handwriting appears to be illegible, though could be shaky hands from my night down the pub, eh Phil :-) ]
 
3x IR Sensors    (£13.29)
2x 150cm Rail    (£34.47)
2x 200cm         (£39.97)
2x 250cm          (£47.67)
2x 300cm          (£55.97)
5x 350cm          (£59.97)
4x 400cm          (can't read my handwriting, might be ~£66)
6x 450cm          (£71.67)
5x 500cm          (£76.97)
 
They had 10s of accessory connectors and auto tie-back things, not being familiar with the product I didn't know what else to look out for.

Just had a phonecall from Phil Johnson ...  he's found more IR sensors in B&Q Reading. I think he said that after getting another one for Steven there were three left.

I think that B&Q Basingstoke have some of the light sensors left ... if
anyone needs one then I'll drop in and see if they have any more.
