This all sounds rather bloody lovely, but isn't it the height of laziness?

(Not saying I wouldn't like a home that allowed me to control everything from the comfort of my iPhone though )

Is Crestron not big over here? My appartment in Michigan was full of it and it seems it's the de facto standard over there for home automation/AV

Hi JeremyP
Creston is american just like AMX..KNX is starting to become the thing to have in this country because Terminal 5 is wired with it.
Anyway why pay £4500 for a Creston/AMX touch screen when a £650 Apple Ipad will do the same job and more.

Regards

Jim (M3CSL)

I couldn't agree more Jim.

I remember being quoted prices for remotes and modules and they are just crazy money.
