Fw: CBUS joy!

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the Kitchen DLT has :

Kitchen Downlights
Kitchen Striplights
Outside Side Lights
Utility Room (although a new switch is arriving today so this will go)
Patio Lights
Garden Power (the Garden RCD outside slocket)
Capital FM (this tells Sonos to fire up Capital)
Side Gates (activates the magnetic locks on the side gates)

These are individual items - not groups ? Or am I missing something ?

What on earth have you got on them all. Sounds like you are using group
rather than scene based ?

We have lived with the inital install for a few months writing down things

we would like. What we have now is an implementation of that - I can't
turn
the kitchen lights off from the bedroom but I never have wanted to - House

all off is enough.
