CBUS & Comfort Questions

[Chris Burn <chris@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm about to start a cbus & comfort install in my house and I've got a
few questions for you clever people.

How closely integrated can you get cbus & comfort. For instance for my
lighting setup I need a 12 channel cbus relay costing around £520. If
I
have a ucmcbus module in the comfort box can I replace the cbus relay
with comfort 240v relays, 12 x £28 = £336, thus saving £194
to pay for a
free ucmcbus?

Will I be able to get exactly the same performance using comfort relays
for lights? Will CBUS scenes work in the same way switching lights
through comfort? I'll still need cbus dimmers, the relays are just for
external lights and utility areas.

I will be using scenes in cbus so can comfort relays be a part of a cbus
scene, having a cbus switch trigger a scene containing cbus dimmers and
comfort relays?

Whilst on the subject of scenes, is it possible to dim scenes? If I have
a 2 button switch with a scene on each switch would it be possible to
turn a scene on with a button press and then dim the whole scene up and
down with press&hold on the switch? Or is dimming only possible on
individual lights?

I'm just specing the system out, so I'm sure I'll have more questions
once I get going.
Thanks,
Chris
