Thanks for all those comments.
Another question.
What I meant to say is i will be using LD11's and AD10's. I will have
to use the AD10's for controling my low energy lights which are now
required under the building regs (I need 4 in total such as 1 in
hallway, 1 in the landing etc), and so these will simply be "light
on" "light off" commands. Is there any way these could be
turned on
with the "All Lights On" command, or will I have to use a macro
in a
controller for this to happen.
Thanks.
