Hi Amro
I'm very intrigued by this, so I've Emailed the company to see what they
can offer. If I don't hear, I'll follow it up with a telephone call and
take it from there. I'll report back whatever they say for future
reference. I've certainly never heard of this before either, so it'll be
interesting to see how far I can progress.

Strange that the RNIB doesn't store this device for sale or promote it.
Most of us if not all have issues with central heating controllers and
it's the
first time I hear of such a control device designed with the blind in
mind. Anyone works for the RNIB on this list?
Cheers,
Amro
