Hi Amro

I haven't been able to make any headway with the company whose details
Peter posted a few weeks back, so this podcast might be worth listening
to.

The good news is that one of the maintenance guys for my flat came out
today and reset the thermostat and water timers for me now that the
clocks have gone back.  I've also ascertained that they've now stopped
the thing from going on in the night, which is what I hated.  It's quite
a complicated system, but as long as it goes on and off when I want it
to, that's the main thing.

My energy supplier came to read the meter last week, but didn't offer
any other service like they had advised over the phone, but it's not a
disaster as I know where and what the controls are.  They did offer to
send me bump-ons to put on the light switches, but I declined because I
know which way they go for on and off, and can hear the lighting when it
is on anyway. The Braille bills service is handy though.

In case you haven't come across this, there's a podcast on
BlindCoolTech.com about a talking thermostat. Thought some of you would
be interested.
 
Hope that will be of some use.
