That's a good idea.  All I need is one of those Kambrook timers.  In fact
I've already got one for my fish tank, all I have to do is move it when I
go away.  I thought it was more complicated than that, but it isn't.

That's what Alan's minimum configuration is for.  I'm going through it at
the moment.  I can set you up with just a couple of conferences and you can
trial it.

I can do most of that, as I am for Brenton.  However I've left it too late
to do it before going on holidays.  BFN.
