Re: X10 AD10 Question

[SMITH BRIAN <briview@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In an ideal world I would rather use CBus as I'm planning a 'full'
deployment as part of a house re-furb early next year.  The issue, I
beleive, is on the cabling.  I only have single 4mm amoured running to the
end of the garden (prob about 30m) and that needs to provide lighting and
13amp sockets so I think a CBus install would need pink cat5 (plus trench
digging etc) or pushing the boundaries of CBus wireless.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Brian
