This means i must have reprogrammable names for the zones ??? one person
could use zone 1 for lounge another use zone 1 for bedroom ???

Ok...good...although i should have mentioned...the Probe Hub only polls the
probes when requested my hv / another device...it is not event
driven....IMHO from my previous experience debouncing and taking care of 32
inputs there was very little time for anything else therefore poll the
probes as requested....
