I don't want to push this thread off topic but I'm interested to know
how t=
hese solutions (CBUS , RAKO etc)  fair in relation to the phasing out of
in=
candescent bulbs. At the moment I have all the lights in our house on
LD11'=
s, but with the phasing out of incandescent bulbs and the minimum load
requ=
irement of x10 (40watts) I can see me having to rethink my install in the
n=

w=
ill work with LED lights since I'm sure they will become the standard in a

few years time.

It is the same price for a 4 scene wall controller though :)

Rako is very expandable (and now wired too as mentioned by Neil) - very

reliable, and is great for integration purposes.

Via RS232 its good to intergrate with Control4, Opus, Systemline, Philips
Pronto etc. etc.

Hi Dean,

That'd sure have to be some special kind of discount..

=A3151.13 for an on and off switch?!?!

.. just Googled and this seems to be the ball park figure for Rako Wireless
kit.

Obviously not for the likes of a DIY HAer like myself!

Going back to dream...
