Just wanted to clarify something here - I was thinking of CBUS'sing the
Heating system by just bypassing the timer switch.

Currently we have a seperate temperature sensor - I wont touch that.
What
Im thinking I can replace is the timer switch - All it seems to do is
just

make a electrical connection at a certain time for the heating and the
water tank (one for each)

So in theory, I should be able to take the live and common for these ,
and

just plug them straight into a CBUS relay channel (just like an X10
AM10).

I can then use Comfort's logic to activate the relays etc, and have a
CBUS

switch show the status and can use that to override as well.

I'll also assume that it's 240v, and that it's less than 10Amps !

All make sense ? Anything Im missing ?
