And photograph all the rooms to see where the cable runs are, before putting up the gib boards. Keep a printout of these photos handy whenever you call in a builder/workman for anything in the future. > And plenty of power points and power capacity. Yes -- a builder will give you around 4 power points per room. Up that to at least 10! Otherwise you'll always have multi-socket bars hanging around. However only one cat6 for data per room should be sufficient, as wireless gets more reliable and commonplace you can operate most equipment directly onto 802.11*. > A separate circuit for each room is handy too. Ideal if you need to show a teenager who is in control of the house *cough* no electricity in your room after 11pm!! > As for actual automation stuff... I have no idea. Mmm. Ditto :-) -jim
