The joys of wireless technology

This isn't really a question, more a cry of anguish.
I've been setting up an old Crestron system I bought cheap on EBay to control AV equipment and C-Bus in my home theatre. I gave up on getting the Crestron processor to talk directly to C-Bus via a PCI, I'm using dry relay contacts into a couple of bus couplers...
...but I started getting weird intermittent problems while trying to control the lights in my HT via my Crestron ST-1500C/receiver/processor. Long story short, the RF signal from the Crestron ST-1500C touch screen to the CNRFGWA Crestron wireless gateway is being interrupted by my C-Bus wireless network.
They are both on 433.92MHz and are fighting for RF spectrum!
When trying to do a dim function, pressing and holding the Crestron touchscreen button, makes the bus coupler send commands on the C-Bus network, these are also routed to my wireless C-Bus network and bingo, the Crestron system falls over.
I can't see any way around this.

The Crestron stuff is a brute force carrier on 433.92MHz, listening on a normal FM receiver you can "hear" it very strongly. By comparison, the Clipsal wireless network can't be detected, I think it uses spread spectrum modulation... or something like that.
When I dial up 433.92MHz (70cm band) on my amateur radio and transmit, I kill both the Clipsal and Crestron wireless signals.
I do have one way out, and that is to buy some older Crestron two-way wireless equipment on EBay which works on 418MHz. The older Crestron equipment can be had for quite reasonable prices if you are patient.

*** EDIT ***
I just picked up a Crestron STX-1550C 418MHz two-way touch screen for US$305, I'm currently bidding on a two-way gateway.
This will cure ALL my problems C-Bus Wireless/Crestron interference issues.

 

When I first started looking at Crestron gear, distributed and sold in Australia, it was the 418MHz version. You are right with the Crestron one-way equipment not complying with the 1% over 1 hour rule, it has no concern for any other devices on the same frequency... it stomps where it likes as long as you are pressing a "button" on the touchpanel.
I've never been a fan of the 433MHz LIPD system, it caused havoc with amateur radio repeaters including the one I look after in Port Lincoln. We had to get new frequencies allocated because industrial crane controls on fishing boats were causing interference.
But it could be worse, at least we don't have Pave Paws military radars in this country, I bet C-Bus Wireless wouldn't work very well near one with an average power output of 145kW of RF deafening the receivers.

 

It would be a pretty safe bet that you tested the C-Bus wireless signal with an FM 70cm receiver. The bandwidth of the C-Bus wireless signal is greater than 20kHz, and consequently the modulated signal sounds like noise to a typical FM receiver and the 'squelch' does not open. Even if you listen carefully with the receiver unmuted, it is very hard to pick. You would probably hear it in an SSB receiver though.... thank goodness the LIPD band doesn't cover the part of the band used for small signal work.
