Rural renovation… very early stages!

[fatgus]

Hi. As per the title, we’re at the very, very early stage of a rural renovation. This forum has been a wonderful source of information. I wish I’d begun participating sooner, but better late than never. I’ve just posted our favourite layout sketches in the design forum. I think we’re at iteration 124..

 

When we get to the point of actually starting the build, probably 2024 once planning is done and dusted, we’ll be managing it ourselves and undertaking as much work as possible (while recognising our limitations!) Thankfully, we have no time pressures, we know some good tradesmen and I’m lucky enough to have plenty of free time to fill. About to have a go at teaching myself Knx & Dali lighting

Bit slow to respond on this. I did my own KNX installation, along with our electrician who ran the bus cables and radial 240v cabling to two KNX cabinets. It’s all very possible and is absolutely solid. No complaints at all, everything works as it should every time. If you have questions let me know. ETS takes some getting used to, but once you get the concepts it is all very logical.

Thanks Wumpus. Appreciate the offer  I’ve accumulated a few bits of Knx kit including a Dali gateway and some assorted Dali lighting… the plan is to set up a bit of a test installation, so I can play around with the lighting control. It’ll be a while til I get into it, but if I need any pointers I’ll be sure to ask
