RE: Hager Tebis

Paul,
CAT5 is cheap, so put it in like you'll use C-bus, and even if you
won't,
you can use those cables for something else (xap, IR etc.)
In my opinion X10 is fine, until you start experiencing problems, and
at
that point you start thinking of C-bus.
Most of the people on C-bus, started with X-10.
For X10, you don't need any extra wiring, it uses your mains wires.
Cheers,
Nik

  Hello everyone!

  I've just joined the group...quick intro and then a question or
two.

  I'm making major alterations to a house I've bought - no plaster on
the
walls (apart from the
  kitchen), wooden floors not down yet, not yet wired for
elecitricity
(apart from temporary stuff),
  that sort of thing.

  There will never be a better time to install whatever wiring I want.
The
problem is, I've only just
  "discovered" HA. So I'm learning and planning a lot in a
short amount of
time. At this stage, I
  don't necessarily want to buy Comfort or HomeVision or whatever, I
just
want the wiring there for
  when I do.

  I'd like to distribute audio, video, IR, LAN, control the lights,
heating,
garden gate (when I get a
  gate), garage door (when I've built the garage) and connect this up
to a
security system.

  I'm planning on using CT100 coax, lots of Cat5e UTP, and maybe some
FTP.
But when it comes to
  controlling lights etc, I'm trying to work out what system I might
go with
so I can choose the
  cabling.

  I can find very little reference to Hager's Tebis system -
  http://www.hager.co.uk/product/tebis.htm
- has anyone here any experience
of this?

  Clipsal's C-Bus looks more reliable than X10, but more expensive
too.

  Any words of wisdom would be gratefully received!

  Thanks,
  Paul
