Fw: Re: Which HA standard to use for first home?

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

bass security system in the US - thats where I got all my UK modules
from




Which was why I couldn't resist getting one while the discount was
still applicable.  The appliance includes an OpenWRT router too, so I
should be able to replace my WRT54GL with this as well as controlling
my home :o)

Now, to find some cheap ZWave switches.  Any better online shops than
LetsAutomate?
