Aidan,

Here are some kitchen ideas for you.... some I'm sure won't appeal, but hopefully enough to make you decide to put in CAT5 "just in case." :-)

- Recipe database
- Baby-cam onto a little 5" LCD
- Networked MP3 playe
- BarCode scanner to swipe anything you've decided you want to buy again into an ordering  database
- Temperature sensor in the kitchen
- Flood sensor
- Relay to control your outside taps (assuming it back-to-backs the kitchen sink - most do!)
- Multiple relays to control multiple watering zones on your outside tap downstream of a splitter
- X10 appliance module to turn on your tumble drier later at night when the cheap-rate 'leccy come to play
- Ceiling-mounted speakers
- Temperature sensor inside the fridge, to act as a "fridge warm" warning trigger
....

Regards,

Mark

This is the option I've gone for. The choice between a rio reciever (here's
hoping the bulk buy works out) & a box cutter wasn't that difficult.

Going to start ripping my kitchen apart later.

Screw fix delivery arrived a short while ago. It turns out 90 meters is a
hell of a lot of conduit!! ;-)

No HA going in the kitchen yet, but planning to lay in the wires for some
flood sensors, remote water cut off & some data/audio for future use.

Wondered what else people had in their kitchens. Living rooms, office & den
are obvious for all the AV kit, but other than a recipe  manager PC seemed a
low tech room.

Cheers

Aidan
