G'day, (First post)

Glad to meet y'all... (is that a good start?)

I'm an ex-industrial control boffin who's been quietly waiting for an acceptable set of wireless components for an integrated home project utilising crestron / AMX front end. (After one, I'll probably wind up consulting / programming other projects too!).

I hear of the new C-Bus Wireless thru the ether and happened to see part of a flyer at my local Johnny Turk's outlet the other day. This was shown to me when I asked the guys there about the upcoming Clipsal wireless syst.

I've got info about the three session times on two different days here in Syd... and a req for RSVP by 24 NOV. Tomorrow is day one and I'm wondering if it's possible for me to attend one of the 1800-1930 sessions.

Tks in advance,
Pete th'geek

Hi Mr Th'geek :),

You will need to contact the local Sydney office at this late stage.

G'day Richo,
Next time I'll remember to put quotes around my title <g>

Tks for the reply. I telephoned the Sydney office and was advised I could 'register on he night'. This I did and was very excited with the results. A most novel launch. Picked up a Launch Kit... Very swish! Only one prob... The plug adapter dimmer is a leading edge device - my reading lamp (12v) has an electronic supply. It's now relegated to the most over-engineered bedside lamp in town!

I'll post some comments in another thread.

Thanks Richo.

Peter.

Yes, running an electronic transformer off a leading edge dimmer is not such a good idea. Best bet is to get yourself a trailing-edge plug-adaptor as these are designed for capacitive-type loads, which is what an electronic transformer is.

Glad you made it to, and enjoyed, the launch!

A most novel launch.

I had a ball at the Brisbane lauches ... if you didn;t see it a couple of weeks ago here is my review.
