Hmmmm... they're just round the corner from me...... can't find much
about them on a quick search, and what I can find says they're a burglar
alarm company.... :/

I'll ask Kevin Cain (CIS's agent for the "North") when I speak to
him
over the next few days about exactly what SCI's status is.

Certainly from speaking to Geoff at the meet, he said go on the course
(1st course, £400 for 2 days, take home the hardware board containing 4
chan dimmer, switch (either Neo or the cheaper one depending on what
they have in stock), PC interface, 4 halogen lights, and the software -
total value more than the course price!) and you would then be
"qualified" to specify what you required, and know how to program
it up
yourself.

I know that Kevin Hawkins said he bought the gear himself and learnt how
to use it as he went along, not going on any of the 3 courses available,
and he's developed the XAP -> C-Bus interface....!
