Hello,

I reply to this topic because I have the same question as Bernardo.
I apologize for my English: it is not goot at all.

I have an aparamentet with 4 rooms + kitchen + 2 bathrooms.

It is still under construction (floor and walls are already up); no
lights, no switches, no outlets yet.

I'd like to control some lights, if possible the heating and I want
audio in all rooms.

I the aparament where I live right now I have Windows Vista with a
projector and I use Media center for tv + video + audio.
I would like to integrate it with home automation.

Last thing: I live in Switzerland, so the standard may be different.

Thank you all for your support :o)
