Re: Velux Window Openers - A Possible Solution

["big_red_frog" <atod@xxxxxxx>]

Hmmm, I have had a look at the WLF 111 spec sheet now, looks awfully
heavy weight to just control two windows :-(

I will take my own advice and get another redrat. I can place the one
directly towards the AV corner, and the other across the room to the
velux controls and the projector.

Thanks for highlighting that unit, it has been bugging me for a while.

Now if only I could get up the ladder and fit the rain sensors, then
I wouldn't have to panic each time I was out of the house.
