Exactly what my electrician said . So ; I’m doing it correctly but terminology might be wrong ! ??

You could fit z wave sockets to each room . You can then turn on/off remotely and also get consumption use ...

Exactly what I’m having One radial socket ring per room and one ‘lighting’ ring . Makes isolation and fault finding easier . Bit more work , bit more cable but worth it

Just checked their faq - dimmable !

The lumi stuff looks good . Incorporating a light and fire sensor in one is neat ! . Just need to check they are dimmable ...

Welcome ! . Enjoy all the info here !!

Not really possible yet unless you use your phone and beacons to identify exactly where someone is in a building . Not worth the effort yet in my opinion

Already installed a good deal of that cat cable to each room for multi sensor . Built in wardrobes have a double socket in them and 4 extra Ethernet ports . Most stuff poe - to make life easier Stereo combined speakers in each room - pulse audio rc6 ‘s I think ufh controller by solenoids linked to HA raspberry pi per speaker Water ; a pipe per outlet . Electric a ‘ring’ per room

I don’t mind a slight protrusion- as also assume they have to ; but some are well chunky !

Nope ; will get flush ( ish ) plates

Noooooooo ! Looks crap

ouch ! . Ridiculous cost !

Hmmmm , maybe a z wave one ..

You would of thought some manufacturer would of seen the niche in the market by now . Currently staying at centre Parcs - look at this bloody ‘knob’ ceiling protrusion!!

Yeah I can’t find any flush or near flush ones ...

Ok ! https://www.safelincs.co.uk/lumi-plugin-standard-downlight-smoke-alarm/ ouch on the price though !

Got to have mains powered interlinked battery back up ones installed . Problem I find is they all look rather like a “ smoke alarm “ - kind of destroys the clean contemporary look . Cant seem to find any slimline ones or even better recessed ones . Anyone else had any luck ?

If you require a spinny laser buy the cheap Chinese stuff off eBay . I had no issues ! if you require a really nice vertical and horizontal line level laser I recommend the dewalt . It was hard to justify the cost so I got a 2nd hand one off eBAy - now , I don’t know how I managed without it !!

Where’s that F off emoji ....

Ffs ! It better be rubbish after all my trials . Don’t think I’ll be allowed to my site tomorrow to test it !

Looking online at the blurb it claims there is a "stud finder" in the kit. Now as I am THE expert on this subject I'm rather concerned if THIS thing is it.....

I wish there was an emoji for F OFF! ??

So ! As I’m an electrician ( ?? ) decided to buy a nice Makita set of electrical tools . But I can’t figure out what this blue thing is - thought it was some kind of pendulum level ; but I don’t think so ...

Chris Rhea isn’t it ???
