    Hi all, I'm a Concept integrator and as you may know Concept and C-Bus work together well.

    HEX38 is used as the C-Bus Lighting Application I.D.
    HEX58 is used as the C-Bus Heating Application I.D. I believe.

    Is each of these applications restricted to 255 Group Addresses max?
    i.e. P.C.I. #001 maxes out at 255 Group Addys but what if I need more?
    Can I use multiple P.C.I.s (with individual Unit addresses) on one network to achieve larger-scale control?
    Sure, I'm replicating Group Addys across P.C.I.s, but the P.C.I.s have different Unit addresses therefore individual control should be possible I would think.
    Correct me if I'm wrong here.

    What are all the Application HEX I.D.s currently available?

    Yes.

    No. Applications are NETWORK based and not PCI based. All units on the same physical network share the same applications and group addresses.

    Ignore PCI's when working out group addresses and applications. Even though applications are network based, because the default configuration of bridges is to share applications, you will find that applications and group addresses span multiple networks as well.

    For info on how to get more group addresses read this post
