Re: Fuller UK Z-Wave Range on the way

["marcrfuller" <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent news, Thanks Mark !

I'm a big fan of Z-Wave because x10 just does not work in my home, but
the one thing that stops me going all out on it is the lack of
modules.. you can only do so much with plugin lamp/appliance modules :D

Looking forward to hearing more !

Cheers

Marc
