    Hi All
    I'm after a bit of advice
    I'm about to install a CBUS Bridge
    Two Reasons
    I'm close to the limit of power supply on my main Network ( 46+ units (not all PSU))
    a mouse in the shed made me lose the whole network, eating Pink cable :-(

    I have cured the mouse problem
    I am having a main house network and an outside network
    I intend to leave all the addresses as they are ( not duplicating across the 2 networks)
    I have a colour touch and homegate x 2

    Is there any hints on this or will it just work?
    Is the a "how to?" pdf anywhere?
    Thanks in advance
    Mike

    If this is in the wrong section please move!

    If you configure the bridge to send messages on all applications across it, in both directions, then practically everything will "just work". There are a couple of exceptions as things like Learn Mode doesn't work through a bridge, but just about everything else should be fine.

    Just make sure you've got enough power supply on each nework to support the units on it once you split it in two. You can check the integrity of each network using the Toolkit Database view initially, assuming you've got all the right catalogue numbers in your database.
