Re: Bathroom project - Cbus style lighting system....1 room only though!!

Hi Mike,=20

Interesting though, thats a good way to use the logic of the switches
altho I don't think that would give me the time based function.

Cheers tho, and sounds good on the shower front!!

Very interested to know or see links to the extent of these setups and
what you can control!!
