RE: Genesis To C_Bus

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank

The c-touch units can now emulate the Comfort key pads, which is one
v.nice function. Also you can use standard c-bus switches to control
Comfort functions. (i.e Arm, Disarm, Panic maybe.)
You also have the functionality that Comfort can send responses based on
a c-bus state. Those repines could be x10, IR or relay for example.
One example I have here at home is that I have a couple of x-10
appliance switches that are switched on and off via a c-bus switch. In
essence you have:
C-bus - Comfort - x10.
