Re: Guest Friendly Homes {Scanned for Viruses}



Looks like I've got another advantage to playing with automation in a
small (1 bedroom) flat,
a) it costs less
b) never have to worry about guests staying, hence all they'll ever
have to touch is a bathroom lightswitch!

I do think that the press the top button on every switch idea is
probably best, but it raises a good question, what about something
simple like watching TV or listening to music... do any of you actually
explain to your Non-HA-fan guests how to operate this stuff?

Most people I know seem to shudder at the thought a lightswitch could
potentially stop working due to a software fault :P
