No problem Helen. A few of us on here use the Idratek system and
Karam from the company also posts now and then. Idratek are UK based
in Newcastle and met all my requirements for HA. The product is
actively developed and the Cortex software gives you good control and
logging, graphing, etc. In addition each module can fall back to a
more basic self managing level if the central PC were to be lost or
after a power outage.

Paul
