Re: CBUS then?....

It doesn't :-)

The light switches and other things use power from the CBus. So you need to
inject power onto the bus. That comes from some of the units on the bus -
like the dimmers. But you don't need every dimmer to add power to the bus.
The number that you need with power depends on how many devices you have
using power.

Geoff said that they usually recommend a 60-40 split - ie about 40% of your
dimmers should be with power.
