    ...USB C-Bus Wireless interface? I sat down and had a think about what you need to make a HomeGate PC talk to some C-Bus Wireless units (if you don't already have a wired C-Bus network), you need a PCI, C-Bus power supply and then a C-Bus Wireless gateway.
    I was involved in a forum thread with the participants were talking about automating their home theatre lighting. I mentioned C-Bus Wireless (me being a C-Bus Fanboi) and while some had heard of C-Bus Wireless, others mentioned that it's too hard (read expensive) to get C-Bus Wireless to talk to a PC.
    I thought that a USB based wireless interface would be a great way for entry level control of C-Bus Wireless units.
    How about it guys?
    Regards,
    Michael.

    It is in planning.

    Good things come to those who wait.

    Almost 12 months on ... no sign of Wireless PCI?

    ashleigh ... it's been almost a year since you told us to hold our breath - any update on if it's coming RSN or if it's still more years away?

    It's coming. It is a low priority project, unfortunately. I'd like to see it sooner, especially after all the work I've put into it so far :(
