If I were in the UK, and wouldn't want any hassle, I would go with Dianemo. They also have a software only package.

If I were in the UK, I would only go with Z-Wave, if I do not have an option to go with KNX. Otherwise I would choose KNX.

Having said those things,  I am sure others will be able to provide more indepth Z-Wave knowledge.

Looks like there is an option for KNX in the UK: http://myknxstore.co.uk/ ...but without setting up an account I can't see the prices.

Anyone able to advise if KNX is better value than ZWave, or easier to control, offers more features as a protocol, or perhaps there are more device options, compared to ZWave? My impression when looking at ZWave products was that they were expensive, especially from a the view of savings in energy bills from investment in them.

Installation issues / Re: 1004 Kubuntu link dead
November 26, 2012, 02:30:24 PM
As a newcomer I want to begin with just Kubuntu installed, at least until I get a second NIC in the machine.

- Is kubuntu-10.04.4-dvd-i386.iso still the one to go for?
- In general are you steering newbies away from 8.04 (can't find 8.10 anyway)?

Thanks a million, Peter.
