We are currently rewiring our house and will be commensing the lighting circuits in a few weeks. I will be installing X10 home automation products on the lighting circuits to allow remote switching and control by the fire/burgular alarm system. You can install the X10 modules in the back...

The one I actually want is the white one which states only 24v: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/ESBA1W.html?source=adwords&gclid=CK24v52GgZMCFQw6QgodBXIXDw but on the screwfix website there is this one...

Hi Guys, Quick question. Does the Banshee sounder operate at 12v? On the screwfix website it states that it can do 9-30v, but all others state only 24v. Would like to connect to a 12v system. Cheers Adam.

Prior to looking at X10 devices, I was looking to get the Texicom panel. I have just done a search on their website and their installation manuals (previously emailed to me), but I can't find any detail of X10 compatibility. Could you please confirm? Thanks Adam.

Just done a bit more searching and found Home Comfort systems (http://www.home-control.co.uk/index_products.php?page=default.php&cPath=1. Has anyone had any dealings or experience of them? Thanks Adam.

Hi Guys, To save me searching through every alarm system manual out there, does any one know of any Intruder and/or Fire Alarm systems that are compatible with the X10 Protocol for home automation? I am specifically looking for a wired alarm, rather than wireless preferably with a seperate...

Really.... I will have get a few and try them instead Thanks for the quick reply!

As part of my house rewire, I am wanting to installed a circuit for my TV sockets, but I want it switchable from one or multiple 'master switches' in the room'. On discussing the circuit with the council's sub contractor who can round the other week to inspect the house prior to work...

How/why do you have two routers? Why do you not configure and connect the Belkin Wireless router to your ADSL instead of attempting to pass the data through two?

Did anyone else go? On the whole, I was disappointed. We are doing up our house at the moment, and went there to get ideas and information of various things - including new and up-and-coming technology for lighting, insulation, AV, home automation, security etc and there wasn't really a great...

Hi Guys, Just had my council's electrical subcontractor round to get a feel for the rewire I am undertaking and he basically said when the 17ed comes into effect in July (I think), ALL cables (unless 50mm deep in the wall) will have to be protected to the same standard as the existing...

Tt could be listed under the same thing as Home Automation as AV and TV stuff is more to do with that than Electrics and Bugular alarms is it not??

Megawatt - thanks for correcting me on those things - most of it was from memory :) The Comments on the Flight Sim. I still think its a good tool - especially for a training pilot. In the first basic instance to see how the plane reacts when controlling it and also getting a grasp of the...

I know this might sound bizzare, but connect in an external monitor when performing the install - it could be that the drivers install and incorrectly set the refresh to something other that thr 60Hz default. It could be stopping at a user-input screen when the CD/HD stops.

6 months. That is on average about 1 hour every 4 days. I take it your going to give up work to do it then :) When you factor in the weather (low cloud, rain, etc) which means that you will not be able to go up - this is the thing draws it out - not how well your brain copes!

Can't really DIY your TV or Hifi though - unless you're an electronics engineer :P

I seriously considered taking up flying a couple of years ago before I started doing the house up - spending 10k on lessons or on the house - the house won :cry: . You also have to consider the cost of keeping yourself current (I think its 12hrs/yr). If you do your full PPL you need to fly at...

Hi guys, What do you think to a new main forum topic dedicated to Home Automation? Due to the massive area that covers Electrics, Alarms, phones, Computer hardware and software etc, I think it may be benificial to add this to the main list? I am only just starting to investigate it for...

Just for note, you may need to install the plugins from the website: http://www.irfanview.com/
