    Schneider Electric - The parent company of CBus also offer more domestic & cost effective home automation system which is currently being installed by a london based housing association into 160 odd appartments.

    Called IHC, Intelligent Home Control, it offers a good range of contact closure inputs and the central controller triggers any number of 24v or 230v outputs.

    Let me know if you need any more info.

    I'm still wondering how much it will cost. I have emailed two installer/suppliers of CBus goods recently and neither have bothered to reply. Is there any self-builder out there who has successfully managed a CBus installation who would like to share their experiences?

    I don't know who you have e-mailed and didn't receive a response but e-mails are not totally reliable nowadays, especially with increasingly strong spam filtering implemented in most places to combat the huge tide of daily junk e-mails. If you need to know the retail prices of various C-Bus modules, there are a number UK websites with pricing details, including ours at http://www.cbus-shop.com.

    Also, our Getting Started section should contain sufficient information to give you a feel of how to design, program and commission a C-Bus system.

    If you are seriously considering a C-Bus system, I would strongly suggest attending the two-day Clipsal C-Bus Design and Programming course in Coventry.

    I would strongly recommend NOT going on the course. Everything you need to know is available from the UKHA community (I managed it myself a few weeks ago), and there are lot's of very very helpful people there. And I believe the course is run by a third party now.

    You get some free equipment on the course, but half of it would be no good to me (some basic switches for example), so negates any cost benefit.

    I sourced all my kit through Ross at cbussales.com - an authorised dealer. VERY helpful indeed, no problems. And cbussales prices are half of the UK prices, which seem to be carefully structured. For more technical advice, the cbusforums.com is the place to go.
