This is quite correct.  The control issue for C-Bus is the missing link
currently.  However we are wll down the road to sorting this out.  Kevin
Hawkins has made excellent progress in this area and shortly HomeVision
owners will be able to contrl C-Bus loads from their favour hardware HA
controller.  With xAP/xPL progress it's only a matter of time until
HomeSeer
will be able to as well.
