Is the CBUS Wireless System on sale yet for the UK / Irish market 220/240V ?
Is the ULTI RF Wireless version an older version of this. I read somewhere
that the CBUS wireless was better.
At the moment my house is being plastered and there is mains cables running
back from the swithes and sockets to where the fuse board will be.
I had intended to put the pink CAT5 down the same contuit with the mains
cables in the rooms but have since learned that mains only goes to node zero
and the CBUS is taken from there, as I have now got mains wires going all
over the house I am a bit reluctant to pull them back.
The switches do seem to be quite expensive for CBUS wireless, also there
seems to be a lot of variations

2-gang 2x300W Dimmer - Pearl White
2-gang 2x5AX Switch - Pearl White
etc
etc
I think all of the switches may not be available to the Irish market, what I
am looking for is something to put on to a horizontal metal box for the
light switches in bedrooms and doubles in sitting room living room, kitchen
utility....
If I do finally fit then it is just a matter of putting some sort of a base
station near the PC. I would not be two over the moon about connecting
anything into the main fuse box, although the electrician could do it when
he fits the box.
