Yep, £3k for a sofa which is basically pallet quality wood, polystyrene and fleece wrapped in fabric. Huge markups. Same with beds.

 

Easier than crawling around in attics and under floors...

I already had various lighting circuits, heating and garage door controlled by the Galaxy, so now connected through the echo dot. However, my wife does not want the dot in any of the main rooms, so it's in my office.   I want each of the rads controlled, but would rather have 12v devices as don't really want to be messing with batteries - not really an option though.  Some of the retrofit blind controllers seem a bit big.

Not for me now. I think it's two years since I installed a system and I was totally shattered after an 8hr install.   It's much easier selling the kit.
