Hi - I have an old Comfort 1 (yes I will upgrade at some point).
I like to tinker with things and have a lot of home automation. I want to experiment with XAP via HomeSeer. I have a Netiom XAP board.
I can wield a soldering iron if I'm told what I need but have little electronics knowledge.
The output from comfort is 12v, the input to the Netiom board must not exceed 5v.
My question is - what can I put between the two to drop the 12v to 5v and control the Netiom board from Comfort?
Cheers.

You can use a 5V voltage reguator eg 78L05 from many manufacturers to convert the 12V from Comfort to 5V
