    G'day,
    I m looking for a Lift access (8 Floors) interface with CBus.
    Is there any third party Lift access controller compatible with cbus?
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Regards,
    Abdel

    I doubt that there is such a product, however that doesnt mean that there isn't a way to interface the two. You'd need to provide more detail about the system you're trying to control, including what external interfaces it already has, and if it's capable of interfacing with anything else, and if, by what means? High-level data, or low-level relay/whatever contacts?
    If by high-level, then what protocol or language?

    Elevator companies don't allow 3rd party companies to integrate with their systems other than by dry contact closure. You will need to provide a contact closure in the lift control room for each operation you want... ie if you want to call the lift to a floor, you will need a relay for that.

    Control interfaces into lift are Extra Low Voltage (ELV) so the new 8 channel ELV relay unit (L5108RELVP) will be the most cost effective way to do it.
