Re: [misterhouse-users] EIB Integration for mh?

[Robert R. <ro...@fr...>]

Hi,

I think that maybe there are some EIB to rs232 gateways (Siemens produces
this single chip solutions - but some time ago they were only available to
other EIB producers) , and there I see a chance to communicate with this
system. Few years ago EIB was in my plans too, but at the time it seemed
pretty closed infrastructure, and since Siemens is involved there is no big
hope to change this in near future. IMHO I got feeling that it costs much
more than its real value...

Even if you get rs232 gateway, there can be some security features built
in - maybe you're not allowed to enter/get all commands/evetns into EIB
system. We have a local company that designed similar system, that is truely
open at the fraction of the costs. I bet you have many more alternatives in
Germany...

Regards,

Robert.
