Its not personal!
 
If I was re-wiring I WOULD run cat5 to every socket and light switch - as we all know X10 isn't always 100% reliable. For everything else I'll continue to use wireless, with a home made antenna on the "server" high enough up to guarantee full coverage.
 
I agree that wireless has its limitations, but there's a lot of new stuff on the horizon, and it does have a massive advantage - you do't have to pre-plan.
 
I wonder if we'll see Bluetooth or 802.11 based home control devices?
 
Tim.

Can't agree with you on this one Tim - so what's new :-)
 
I have both CAT5 and wireless in our home and both have their pros and cons.
