[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 356845, member: 23472"] Have to agree with others, how can you wire for something if you do not know its requirements? An example is: I have seen in a few houses a dedicated room that amongst other things has "electronic dimmers" that control each rooms lights, and in each room instead of a normal on / off switch (or dimmer switch) there is a small plate with multiple buttons, that operate the lights And the sound system for that room. Also they have at least one "sky box" in this room (common to see two) and so you will also want a way of changing channels installed too. As for an alarm, go for wired, and run one cable from the corner near the finished ceiling back to one central point, and also cables for where ever you want a keypad for the alarm. 6 core will be fine but you can use CAT5 cable if you have lots. Why not run in some fp200 to each room (looping in and out) and have a dedicated fire alarm, its better than relying on "smoke alarms" which can be a real nuisance. [/QUOTE]
