Anyone familiar or have experience with this kind of product? skylinkhome.com
They have a YouTube video showing what their products do, but I can't post it here.

Seems it is fairly simple and easy to install, and not that expensive.

Does anyone know where we can get something like this in the UK?

Thanks in advance.

There are many companies offering similar Home Automation solutions in the UK. It depends what you want to automate and whether you want a DIY solution.

There are many retailers selling the Crestron and Control 4 systems in the UK, Here is one:

Control4 for sure is way too expensive and out of the budget.

Other Insteon stuff seems to be priced more reasonable, but the one that I found originally, Skylink seems even better. But I guess they don't offer their products in the UK.

So I better keep looking.
