alanchow Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Clipsal CBUS, Dynalite, HPM iControl, Conson, Lutron & Vantage are the ones that i have used, tested or developed here in Australia. That pretty much covers the majority of lighting systems available.However installing 3rd party lighting systems limits the number of Zigbee nodes on your network. This means that your SR-250 remotes have limited range.An alternative to this is to utilise the Control4 International Inline Dimmer. This device has an aux switch which allows you to connect 3rd party 240v rated switches to it. A popular combination is to utilise the Clipsal 240v Satin with this device. It ends up becoming a bit more expensive but you do get a nice Zigbee mesh.I hope this helps.On another note if anyone is in Melbourne from the 28th April to the 1st May we are exhibiting at the HIA homeshow and are showcasing Control4 integration with Clipsal CBUS. That'll give you a good feed as to how well it integrates (we even have DLT's controlling Control4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi Alan, how are you? Good to see you active on the forums!Do you have a C4 driver for the Legrand SCS Bus protocol? I know one from a dealer in Prague but is is not at a realistic price I do not believe.Regards,Bryce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Good Bryce,I do not have a driver for legrand. It is not a product we are looking at utilizing. Our company has decided toUtilise control4 and Cbus as our lighting solutions.If it is not a once off job for you it may be worth while for you to invest in development of the driver. We have done so on alot if products we use in everyday jobs. Spread the development costs over several jobs and the investment pays itself back quite quickly.
