Fw: CBUS joy!

Could you expand a little on "every room is scene based". I
myself have
only one scene in the whole house - set the lougne light to 50%. So
wondering what Im missing here :-)

Talking of CBUS moments - I completed (ish) the programming of the house
over the weekend. The results can only be described as stunning. Every
room
is scene based. We had John Cullen (lighting design company) do the
lighting
diagrams for the house - read at least 4-5 lighting circuits per room  -
just looks gorgeous. Just about finiahed (95%) all the PIR programming too

so low level lights come on at night to light way to bathrooms etc.

Very **very** happy. Even the wife is happy.

Now putting the finishing touches to the system with the XAP gateway and a

little bit of homeseer and PAC programming.
