Hi Wexfordman

Thank you for your reply. I've not even brought the switches yet or put the drywall on so I can wire anyway its needs to be done. When you say twisted pair could that be done with standard alarm cable or does it need to be CAT5? I can use either but alarm cable is slightly cheaper.

I did a quick search on your posts and found a excellent document you had put together on your set-up. It sounds like exactly the same as I want to do, all being controlled by comfort albeit mine will be only be controlling 3 sets of lights to start with. I will be renovating the rest of my bungalow at some point so will just expand the system then.

Could you please give me some advice on what I would need to purchase to get me going?
As there are so many modules I cant work out which ones I need!
All sets of lights will need to be dimmable (and will be LED GU10) so do I just buy a standard dimmable switch and wire a twisted pair to that? (although I cant see how that would work as it would have 2 devices trying to control the dimming?)

Thanks
Strickers.
