My Mad Christmas Electrical Setup

[eveares]

Just a few photos of the electrical setup for my interactive Christmas Grotto (aka GrottoTree) for this year. 251 Watts in total across 11 devices, so nothing to worry about really. All X10 Automation based.

Why are you allowed out without your carer?

Why are you allowed out without your carer?

It is in the front room of my house, and this is the 5th year for GrottoTree, so I am not expecting anything disastrous to happen.

Look's awful I know, but when you have got 8 X10 zones and 11 controllable devices to plug in, things like this need to be done. Forgot to mention that the plug in picture 1 is feeding everything shown in picture 2,3,4.

Ok, here you go; I will be doing a full post about this in the projects section tomorrow.

Brill.!

I like the way they deflate at the end. It reminded me of that old news clip of Prince Charles in a diving dry suit, he'd been down to see the Mary Rose IIRC.

Reminds me of Kenny Everett saying " It's all done in the best possible taste!" .....
