    how I understand it in short:
    - you use 5500PC but in theory could use 5500CN to integrate
    - you do not use Crestron default driver for C-Bus, it's a crap
    - you can buy nice driver in internets for 300USD, but it still won't support anything other than lighting groups:mad:
    - to get all you usually need for home automation (HVAC, Power Monitor etc.) you go here: http://cbus-enabled.com/cbus-open-b.htm and make a driver yourself, as everyone does:cool:

    correct me if I'm wrong
