X-10 or other home automation in Australia

Dec 28, 2005 3 Replies

Looking around the 'net, it seems that it is ridiculously expensive and difficult to do home-automation in Australia. As we use 240v/50Hz rather than 110v/60Hz, we can't the US stuff .. which is a pity as it is *much* cheaper.



That said, does anyone know anything about HA that can help me out sourcing equipment at good prices.



Here's what I want: Lighting controllers for four groups of dichroic 'halogens' hidden in the ceiling or behind the switch plate is good .. my house is being built at the moment, but I wonder if the halogen groups will be like our office: power outlets in the ceilings into which the transformers are plugged .. if so, I guess an appliance controller might work



Lighting controllers for six incandescent lights


Can you source parts from europe?

Then you'd need all new appliances.
