    Hi All

    Let's say I have 2 seperate C-Bus networks each connected via a CNI to Schedule plus.

    The client now wants me to install a DLT on the one network, which he wants to use to control GA's on both networks. Local network no problem, second network not so easy.

    Does anyone have a bright idea for the simplest way to do this.

    I have considered a scene with a trigger, but then the update will be only one way. ie if the GA is switched via the dlt then it will work fine, however if the ga is switched on via S+ then the dlt will not be updated.

    I have also considered using logic, which will work, but it seems a lot of code for something simple.

    Am I missing a simple solution?

    Regards
    Michael

    As far as I know, you cant do this. This was discussed here once before with it not being possible.

    You can add a network bridge to join the two together though.

    I dont know SchedulePlus at all, maybe it can do some logic of sorts.

    You will be able to use logic in SchedulePlus to do what you want. However, its probably easier and far more foolproof (not to mention you dont need a PC running all the time) if you put in a network bridge.
