RE: NOW HA at HB&R show WAS Siemens/EIB

["Neil Ball" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the interests of fairness and because I work for a competitor ;-),
you'll
also find smartkontrols at the show with some new features added our
comprehensive range of HVAC & lighting solutions which may be of
interest.
It's not really a competitor for EIB because of the very different pricing
structures but the features can give some useful ideas for homebrew
solutions using other systems.
See www.smartkontrols.co.uk/r/r_exhibitions.htm

Being even fairer to the competition there is also an offering from
Square-D
that may be of interest - it is a wired lighting/security/HVAC solution
that
will compete with Siemens more directly on cost, and there web site even
includes on-line training for installers that demonstrates how to hang all
of the modules together. Take a look at www.squared.co.uk for more info -
follow the links to "Enhanced Living".

Disclaimer: I'm not employed by Siemens but the company I do work for (Air
Products) has a supply agreement with them for PLCs / industrial
controllers. I get no personal gain from passing information - I just hope
it's useful :-)


Cheers,
