Re: CBUS then?....

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Well you can forget that!! - I'm only going to go for CBUS if it isn't
stupdly expensive... I recall seing discussions on the list a while ago
which reckoned it to be approximately double the price of X10,.... well
that
I can live with... I can also live with installing bit by bit... I don't
mind ending up with a system that costs me 2 grand, so long as I don't have
to stump it all up in one go... - that's too big a dent in my plasma
fund....

£100-odd quid for a switch doesn't seem *too* bad (even SWMBO said the
same!), - and those Neo's do look luvverly.....

Also, in earlier replies about the ratings of the modules, are you using
the
terms circuit and channel interchangeably? - IE were the dimmer packs rated
at 1A per channel? - in which case that would be OK, - none of the
individual loads I want to run are higher than that... - admittedly, my
ceiling lights are right on the edge! -  6 x 40W = 240W = 1A... I don't
plan
to double up any light fittings onto a single channel, rather I'd have
everything on it's own channel so it can be fully independently
controlled... I presume CBUS flexibility makes it trivial to make sure that
multiple lights can be controlled as if they were one, - IE making them
operate simultaneously with identical ramp speeds etc....
