RE: Genesis To C_Bus

["Rob Mouser" <rmouser@xxxxxxx>]

Yep scenes are no problem in the c-touch units. The graphical sliders
move in real time too!

Yes comfort will do scheduled events, although I have not used for such.
I find the Comfigurator software for Comfort cumbersome to programme.
Basic scheduling of c-bus actions are available in c-touch too. But no
if/then/else type logic.

Kevin is badgering me to get a home vision unit! I'm not sure I have the
time to use all its functionality! :-)

I do have an IR zone controller though!

Sounds good ;-)) I believe you can also program scenes with the C_Touch
panels  ??

Dont think i would use standard switches to Disarm the Alarm system
though ..

Do you use Comfort for your scheduled events eg...if later than 10:00pm
AND external pir is tripped turn on security lights for 10 minutes ..etc
etc
