RE: CBus wiring and consumer unit

Martin,

OK, I see. In that case I think I'd be tempted to put *everything* in N0
- you've then got no confusion as to where certain things are wired
from. That said, running the cooker circuit from the utility area also
makes sense. Are you automating every light and socket, or only some ?

Cheers,

Tim H.
