RE: Wireless CBus

["Paul Gale" <groups2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The last few bits of X10 here are the garage, driveway and workshop
lights - as they're all in different locations, I can't justify an 8
channel dimmer for each! Is there a cost effective way of getting these on
CBus - hack into a plug unit and use that maybe?

BTW - what kind of distance did you get Phil? I guess mine is no more than
15-20m to the furthest light from the gateway but there are 3-4
brick/concrete walls between.

Paul.
