Subject: [ukha_d] Cbus/comfort/x10


I currently plan to control my central heating using an x10 appliance
switch activated by a timer from comfort (probably not the best way,
it's just that I'll have a spare switch soon).

I was wondering if it would be possible to use the cbus network as a
status response for this switch.

Basic idea: have comfort react to a cbus address by sending an x10
signal and vice versa.
Result: Visual indication of x10 status, cbus switch LED is either on
or off.

What I don't know: Can you asign a "virtual" cbus address, rather=
than use up a channel on a dimmer unit (I'm guessing no)?

Can comfort handle the logic ok, cbus on>comfort reacts>x10 on?

Would it cost =A3=A3=A3's for a cbus solution (relay unit?) to replace
the
x10?

I've come up with this method thru' idle speculation. I won't have
comfort for another six(ish) weeks and have only just started looking
into cbus (which I really like so far).
