RE: Grand Designs - Cloud 8 The Return

Hi Neil,

The BMS was Siemens Instabus (EIB), I saw the unmistakeable green control
cable and there was mention of the same system
being used in Canary Wharf.

I'm amazed that no-one has commented on last nights show. Maybe no-one
noticed that this guy is attempting to create a fully automated home by
taking a BMS (although no mention of which manufacturer) for environmental
control of boiler plant, UFH, automated blinds, lighting control,
structured
cabling, distributed audio/video etc and is building his own interface to
make it all work.What's more his web site discusses how he wants to turn
this into a marketable product when it's complete. I only hope his
enthusiasm and determination holds out and he can find someone that
understands and can maintain his systems when he's not around!! He must
also
have extremely deep pockets because although he will not give any
indication
of his budget he has admitted he's at least 3 times over that now!
