CBUS programming


Being a little technical I programmed the CBUS system myself. This is when you learn the true age (sorry maturity) of the product. To learn the programming I first made a test bench with some of the units wired to a switch and a motion senor. Whilst the documentation is thorough a test bench was invaluable to learning how to program the units and use some of the logic within the units.
 For example some interesting logic can be applied to link a motion sensor to a light switch. The end result is that the light only turns on when both the light switch is on and the motion sensor detects motions. When the motion detector times out (after a configurable amount of time) the llight switches off, even though the light switch is still on.
