RE: Re: Bathroom project - Cbus style lighting system....1 room only though!!

Hi Noel
You would be stuck fan wise unless you had the relay outputs for cbus (
dim=
mer is no go really)
That would be overkill i think on your budget as they come in lots of 12!!

Everyone should have a PAC ;-)
I jest=20
in your case I don't think you would need one as the Saturn or Reflection
s=
witches come with some logic and scenes=20
For the bathroom I have just set up 5 scenes
These are set to be controlled by the Reflection switch
Each scene then has a trigger group level associated with it and the
Indoor=
PIR with movement, light level and IR just triggers the level for movement=
depending on the light level

Of course if you have Comfort in the house and a PAC you can start turning
=
the shower on when you set the lighting to Shower
And you could turn the TV on and set it to the right channel
And turn it off automatically when you're finished=20

But that's another story :-)

Just the kinda quality expenditure incurring advice I need!! :)

Thanks, you're using comfort for the fan but I assume I can connect
the extractor fan direct to one of the dimmer channels? The
instructions of the dimmers seemed to suggest that although they
warned about the possibility of noise?  This I assume could then use
the logic within the PAC unit to control when the fan comes on.

I am so tempted for the cbus approach, as you said it's a nice first
tester of the tech altho my UKHA mind (and tightness!) is drawn by the
diy approach!!

lots to think about and look at but cheers for the detail

Noel
