Clipsal CBUS for Lighting Contol

[Ben McCormack <yahoogroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

We are just about to move into a new house and our intention is over
the next 2-3 years completely renovate the property.

This finally gives me the chance to automate properly!!

I am starting to think about lighting control  and remember a while
back that Clipsal CBUS was highly regarded. Is this still the case?

I am basically looking at the following setup

16 Lighting Zones across 9 Rooms.
12 Switches


I do have a couple of questions

1. Does the Clipsal system come with any intelligence. ie Can I tell
it I am on 'holiday' and it will turn certain zones on and off?
2. I assume I can control CBUS via IR in certain key rooms?
3. Are they still running the introduction course? I know they were
about 3 years ago.

Finally is there any other systems that I should be considering?

Cheers
Ben
