Sounds like a great idea that will be difficult to implement in reality.

Eg. my dishwasher and washing machine and tumble require user input to start (you cant just power them up and off they go)

I have no hot water tank (combi boiler).

So it will be interesting to see what it could offer.

I suppose you are looking for some mugs to give you some more opinions on them - go on then you've twisted my arm though i'm sure i'l regret it.

How much is each unit, MEP?

Potentially interested, but likewise, I'm not entirely sure how these would work in practice. Things such as washing machines etc. need manual input of the cycle (ironically due to these being computer controlled, whereas the old mechanical clockwork washing machines could have been set to run a cycle when switched on); tv recording devices etc. clearly need to switch on/come out of standby at certain times regardless of electricity input; cookers, lights etc. need to come on as required. I suppose phone/ipad/laptop chargers could be automated but most of the time you want to do the charging at night so you can use them during the day.

And finally it depends on the price - there were suggestions of these being over 1000 in some threads last year!

that price is way off the mark I do not want to reveal the price I get them as this may cause problems to other installers who plan to sell them.
