For controlling electric curtains with C-Bus, it is a simple case of
having a couple of relay channels (C-Bus relays are voltage-free or dry
contact) connecting to a Silent Gliss Autoglide Dawn and Dusk electric
curtains via the RJ11 socket for discrete opening and closing. The toggle
connection may also be used if only one C-Bus relay channel is available.

A single CAT5e cable from the curtain to the C-Bus module should be
sufficient for controlling a couple of curtains.
