They've extended in terms of the reach of their range. They haven't
really changed the core functionality.

I said that there'd been lots of new switchgear, of various types.

OK, it was easier to use, but it didn't fix the scene issues I was
after.

That I'll grant you.

Again, an audio range is not exactly part of a lighting solution :-)

Does it have the same range of stuff as CBus - no
Does it have the same marketing clout in Europe as Schneider - no

Does it do the core lighting functions (IME) better - yes
Is it easier (IME) to integrate - yes


As I said, I've installed both, and Flexidim is what I'm going for in my
own house.

I realise that there are many, many, happy CBus users out there. I just
happen to think that Flexidim is a better product for lighting control.
