    Don't think so.

    Probably would as it is a java application, but I don't know if anyone has tried. The installer is a windows app so you would need to install under windows (or possibly wine) and then manual move the files across to linux.

    We have several solutions for allowing a Linux application to access C-Bus. We provide low level driver as an RPM package. C-Gate works on linux as well, although not afficially supported. The is plenty of info on these forums on how to do this.

    If you are developing a commercial product you might be interested in the C-Bus enabled program which can provide C source code and/or complete protocol specifications for doing t all yourself.
