Oops,
I nearly
forgot:
What
tools
do I need to:
Chase
out
the cable runs in the wall (all of them brick, but about half inch plaster)
an ‘sds
something or other’ was mentioned to me. And a ‘box
cutter’ (to mount the boxes
with the switch / IR rx’s / cat 5
points)
Ta,
Jonathan.

cable
issues + no brainer questions
Hi...
I have a couple of questions, but I think I'll tell you lot what I want
to
have, and I'm sure you can come back to me with what I need .. (is need
the
correct word??!!)
The CAT5 wiring thing all in hand, I'm quite happy about doing all
that..
I want to be able to dim the lights (some of those flush mount ones,
like
most people have - but as I've got to buy everything yet....uurgh) I
want
to
be able to dim them using my PC (put IR on the pc, and use a pronto or
some
other such device).
Also having them controlled by misterhouse - to come on at
pre-set
times.
And go off likewise.
I'd like to be able to have the (when I fit the new kitchen) electric
oven
to be on a timer - controlled via the pc - is this possible? (high
current)
And I want to have all of my AV stuff in 'node0' (with all the other
junk..
sorry... pc + rack) - would the 'kat5' device be the most likely
option?
What type of cable do I need ? (I'm more than likely going to have the
house
re-wired including new consumer unit and whatever else it
needs...)
How much does a re-wire cost ? (it's a 3 bed terrace (2 room's and a
box
room...(box room = node 0) I was told it would be around a grand
?
None of this will happen for around 6 months, I've got to save up as
you
can
understand!
Any help / advice on this sort of thing most appreciated.
Regards,
Jonathan.
