I know Cbus is highly rated but what is it that is so good, especially in
the realm of AV integration (or heating)?  I know the face plates look
good, but are they just buttons or are there display options too? (as with
EIB/Gira)
Is it ultra smooth dimming, variable & configurable speed, convenient
packages of relays and dimmers?
Is it centrally controlled or distributed?

Thanks
