My name is Eddie and i'm the MD of Voltimum (www.voltimum.co.uk).

Well done, what an excellent idea.

I agree with @Specialist , just a shame you're not doing one a bit closer to Wales

And, welcome to the forums

Thank you! We've also launched a new platform dedicated to the topic www.smartsolutions.voltimum.co.uk - it's still in testing mode but please take a look and i welcome all feedback!

Hi Eddie: Just had a quick look at the smart solutions site, looks really good to me. Well laid out, very informative & easy to navigate, but the bit I like best : It's written in plain English.

Looks good, but I'm not an important electrician.

Nice fanfare and puff Eddie. Why should I train to use your products? Why are you creating items that are too complex to work out of the box? The video on your site about Are we ready for smart technology? It is suggested if you don't take up smart tech. then you are "going to become just a wirepuller" bit of scaremongering there?
So we will be relegated to grunt if we dont take up your technology?
As usual tech is being rolled out, it seems to me in a manner now that suggests you are trying to run before you walk, not you personally Eddie I mean across the field. Take for instance inrush currents on LED, a growing problem or no? Still getting rolled out though!
While your offer for free course sounds good is it not just herding gullible sparks into getting trained in your product ensuring your products are top billing sales? I want a product with a tech dept that is switched on and co-operates, maybe companies like you thought thats a bit expensive lets train them and get rid of the tech dept and we can make more money. Bit cynical?...no, experienced.
There are serious flaws in home automation especially security wise. Again these systems are being rolled out irregardless. People have been locked in and out, and burgled, of their homes entirely due to these flaws. Do you include all that in your training?
Point in case an Electrician phoned me last night working in the City of London square mile. A 10m. new system has just been put in. Smart as you like a section of it has failed. Nothing can be switched off so no testing of what has failed. 200 v on earth 40v on neutral. Where are the smart systems now??? I suppose a wirepuller will have to sort it out?

Sorry for the late reply! I was locked out the site : (

Voltimum are not a manufacturer - i'm not trying to sell you anything. We're a media company aimed at the electrical industry. I feel really strongly that this technology will play a big part in our future - the seminar is aimed at educating our audience and helping them to embrace the opportunity.

I certainly don't disagree that we have a long way to go but the journey should start now. You're right about security - something we absolutely discuss at our seminar as it's a vital topic!

I'm always appreciative of any feedback - very happy to send you some tickets for free and you can let me know what you think at the end : )
