    Any recommendations on brands for motorised blinds that would integrate with CBus? Or particular suppliers of blinds in Sydney that are well familiar with CBus integration?

    I've had 30 L5501RBCP blind controllers running for around 7 years with Somfy Sonesse 40 tubular motors and it's worked very reliably.

    Any 240V 4 wire motor will be suitable for use with the blind controller. There are cheap ones on e-bay that can be used and there are expensive ones like Somfy. C-Bus integration is not a blind manufactures concern - that is handled by the blind controller - just don't go a ELV DC motor and expect to use it with the blind controller.

    Its your decision as to how much you spend, what you think is value for money. I personally would not use Somfy - not because of any technical issues, just don't see them warranting the money they are asking.
