RE: Re: NAS or WHS
Having re-read the scenes tutorial on the CBUS forums, I think I've
reached the conclusion that it really isn't possible to do this with the
E2000, since it doesn't support scenes itself, - therefore I can't setup
an empty scene in it in order to configure the trigger group &
application selector to be transmitted by that unit. It also doesn't
support keys using a secondary application, so I would be forced to use
groups in the trigger control application exclusively for all keys on
that unit.
That's all way too much "hackery" - I'll just bung 2 lines into
the PAC
& be done with it!
