Yes this could be done but you need to purchase the wireless gateway and i
dont think the UK version of the CBUS wireless kit has been launched as yet
...?? The cbus wireless remote is nice ;-))

If using xPL / xAP then both have a cbus plugin.......If you have an
existing ir system  with a usb uirt then use xPL  maybe xAP has a plugin as
well....
