Hi folks,

I will be moving to a new place in a couple of months and was thinking of upgrading my home automation to plcbus.

I have been using x10 for the last 8 years.

Is bobby still selling plc bus?

Is there some other newwer tech I should consider instead of plc?

I keep hearing about this "z-wave".

Seem a little ex and limited options?

Btw, got a huge cache of x10 stuffs to sell cheap if anyone interested :)

Hi Antares,

How is your trial with the Fibaro system?

Cheers,

Huey

Hi Feiwin,

There are a few local companies doing home automation. I dont know if they are doing Z-wave HA or some other standards. I just buy from webstores like Homeseers. Though Z-wave has been around a long time, its quite hard to find suitable UK version (868.41mhz) without costing me an arm or leg. :P

Sites I bought stuff from

http://store.homeseer.com/store/default.aspx

http://www.smarthome-products.com/

Both are based in the US but they sell EU version Z-wave products.

@Alex: lol... small hobby group sounds pretty good. Can swap pointers and share resoucres and lobangs. :D

Hi Hueywong,

I did not get from fibaro as they wanted to charge me GST which cost abt 26% more i think. Works out to be abt 100+ per light switch >.<

I hv jus recently got my hands on a duwi light, curtain and appliance switch and their remote controll. Gonna test them out soon. If good then will mass order. Cant wait :D
