Regarding Z-wave and CBUS; down the track I would want to do things with door locks, the garage door, heating, integrate with the alarm etc - Is z-wave still a viable option for those applications? Z-Wave is probably better that C-Bus for door locks because it is wireless. There are also Z-Wave thermostats, but integrating with heating in Australia can be tricky because systems tend to have dedicated controllers that can't easily be replaced with a standard thermostat, but if all you need is relays closing then either C-Bus or Z-Wave can do it.

I'm assuming we could install the switches and power supply in the garage and then run the cables to the switches from there? Yes.
