    Hi,
    I am controllong my C-Bus system using Schedule Plus software on a Touchscreen PC. It is connected to the C-Bus network with a CNI network interface.
    I have a Skaro automationbridge Pro for Google Home integration. The Skaro automationbridge Pro requires a CNI to connect to the C-Bus network as well.

    The question I have is: can Schedule Plus and Skaro send C-Bus commands using the same CNI or I need to use a second CNI for the Skaro. Would 2 CNIs or a CNI + PCI work OK on the same C-Bus network?

    Thank you.

    A CNI only supports a single connection. You can have multiple CNI's and/or PCI's on a Cbus network though.

    Ids this the same with a SHAC? Can SHAC only support a single connection also? I have a similar scenario with a project that includes Savant (C-Bus integration via Avation Light Engine), plus we're looking to add the Skaro Automation Bridge to integrate voice control.
    Thank you for your support.

    The SHAC has effectively two interfaces, but one is dedicated to its own internal operation. Thus you can only make a single connection to it like a standard cni
