Fw: Re: Grand Designs tonight touchscreens.....

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

well there was the Red Rad I/O thing that I saw on here many moons
ago.....  http://www.redradio.com/products/rad-io.html

screens look a bit small to me but could maybe do the job!

this would be an acceptable price at least. (from what i remember
anyways!)

will have to look more at homeseer or something similar i think!!

Cheers
