Hoteza App with HRC+CBus Dimmer - is it possible to control CBus output from 3rd party app?

[Ann-Marie]

Hi everyone!

The set-up: We have a mock-up guestroom where we are implementing HRC + CBus Dimmer. The 3rd element in this set-up is a 3rd party app - Hoteza app, which intefaces to our set-up to control e.g. lightings, maybe aircon as well.

We have tested using the Hoteza app to command HRC outputs - it is able to. However, we aren't able to do the same for CBus outputs.

The HRC API document which we have (attached here) does not have the registries for the CBus parameters. Would there be a more updated document out there that would have this information? Or has any similar implementation been done, and the information could be shared with us?

Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Ann-Marie,

The API controls the "light output" object in the HRC. Since in the HRC you map a Light Output to a C-Bus group, I would have thought when you control that output using the API the C-Bus group would just follow. Is that not happening?

Also, what happens if you control the same light outputs via BACnet?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard, 

Thanks for the follow-up text message the other day. As spoken, the site is currently handed over to owner about the time that I posted this question on Forum. I have conveyed the message to our guys executing this project and who are working with the Hoteza team to relook into their coding. Once they have access to site, they will test out and verify the program again.

Thanks again, Richard! 😉
