[QUOTE="MartinH Scotland, post: 649893, member: 336720"] Thanks for your comments Topper It was I who specified the cabling of the house after a fair bit of internet browsing, any professionals I spoke to all seemed to go a bit overboard with things i.e. I spoke to one company asking for an integrated door entry system that would control the front gate via the door entry and they came back with not only the door entry system spec but a £35k whole house design including electric curtains. There seems to be an army of salesmen out there whose only interest is the sale with little or no interest in truly giving the end user what they want. I have found that forums like this one are used by enthusiastic people, who like myself enjoy technology, people who offer fresh ideas and simple solutions without any expectation of the 'sale'. As you suggest this particular forum is for hobbyists and may not offer much by way of direct answers for me, but I will continue to 'lurk' and follow the treads that interest me.
