Dear forum members.

Just a strange question , whe are dealer of this product.
( italian design "schakelmateriaal") , but the have also a big assortiment with domotica stuff.

compete catalogus ( groot bestand)<font size="1">http://www.mood-ledlight.nl/pdf-product ... 9-2010.pdf</font id="size1">

Is some-one familair with this. Would it be possible to intergrate this product range within the standard ( x10 , a10 , z-wave or something).

I ask this because the have a with range of very nice product, nice looking control screens etc.

Thanks
Marco

Just a strange question (are you dealer? , don't you). Bticino is the most important italian producer of electrical devices and the headquarter is near my home. I well know their products and i mounted (only switches, plates) them in my new house. I didn't use their domotica solution because it's really too expensive and it requires a dedicated line bus not "friendly" with other protocols . So a CLOSED item. Quality is really wonderful, but you must pay for that... i remeber their offer to make some domotica in my home........... near 50.000 euros........ ok, now i have the same things (i don't speak about look and high class finitures) i mean the same "use" and advantages of a Bticino solution and of a DIY (x10) solution, but i have spend only 2.000 euros! Last thing : their plates are not compatible with x10 wall-switches because of different dimensions. Best regards. Lorenzo

Buona sera drmacchi,

We are dealer of the switches etc , the rest would be a little difficult in the netherlands

( the support here is really bad , from the importeur)

I really like those switches because its very high quality and would be in every thinkeble color.

Just wondering of we can connect the swithes to a z-wave module ( or something ) , just use the nice switches with the standard (diy ) protocols.

Ciao
Marco

Dear Marco, these are the best switches we can find on italian (european?) market. You could use them and integrate domotica protocols (x10) by using the in-wall microswitches from marmitek (link of my reseller http://www.nicoshop.com/cat076.html or xanura that are simply placed behind the Bticino switches, use the wall plates with 4 sockets to have enough space in the wall.

Thanks for sharing the info.

The combination ( bticino switches and z-wave / x10 )would not for commercial use , but I really like the products ( and will use a several after rebuiding our home )

Ciao Marco

You're welcome! Why don't you offer Bticino + DIY domotica protocol to your customers? You' re loosing a big part of the cake! Many people will not do domotica because known as expensive, until they don't discover x10 or similars........

That looks very very nice, even nicer than the Niko switches.
Easy to connect some NO-contact press buttons to any x-10 or whatever kind of remote (remember a pic from chak from a modified remote)
Do you have something on stock? are your prices similar as your Belgium college?

Hi Chiel ,

Normally we dont have it on stock beacuse there to many differt switches.
On the moment we have a order for a customer standing at the office ( customer would be on vacation ).

Every thing must be special ordered , there is no stock here in the netherlands.

The price are quict competentive.

Best regards,
Marco
