Duncan62 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Hello BH, Any experience of Velbus Automation? https://velbus.co.uk/ It seems like an easy system to understand and use for BH types - With lots of info in how it all works: https://www.velbus.co.uk/dl/training/posters/EN_Velbus_poster01.pdf https://velbus.co.uk/downloads/ Good tutorials on youtube too: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHw8A4D87YCm8H8JtsDbaH5waD4pEQls Would welcome thoughts and especially any direct experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan62 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Appears to be niche. Which is appealing to me. Everyone on the Luxone train perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob99 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Niche is ok as long as its cheaper, better and less flaky than other options. I don't know anyone who has installed or is using Velbus so can't comment on how good or bad it is but it seemed to me a bit like a KNX bus type system. The programming software did look a bit clunky, although that could be the way the guy was demonstrating it. Lots of people on here have used Loxone (me included), some also use KNX, probably fewer with Control4 or Crestron. Some initial questions I'd be asking are: How popular is the system in the UK and who sells it (if not the manufacturer) What support is available (e.g. community forums, manufacturer, installer) and is it chargeable. Maintenance/software/firmware updates (how, who, how much?) Can you make changes to programming yourself, or is it an "engineer" only system (and therefore chargeable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
