Availability and functionality

Hi,
Currently I have some basic domotics implemented in my house with the K8006 bus and K8007 dimmers. Now I want to add more functionality like remote action via IR or RF.
Now I have the choice of seperate kits via open collector connections, or I implement the velbus system.

Some questions:

  • Are these already available?
  • What are the prices? I am situated in Belgium.
  • I see that the module for IR is still under development? Is there already a time of release known?
  • Of course I want to connect it also on my PC to program things, I don’t want to program everything manually (30 contacts with 70 pushbuttons). Is it possible to have a beta version of the sofware somewhere?
  • Is there a possibility in the future that there will be a RF connection possible? Since I have a Philips Pronto universal remote control with IR and RF, I want to connect it to the velbus system of course.

Kind regards

Bart

Hereby a brief answer to your questions:

Some questions:

  • Are these already available?

A number of Velbus modules are already available.

  • What are the prices? I am situated in Belgium.

Consult your distributor. List of Velleman distributors available on www.velleman.be

  • I see that the module for IR is still under development? Is there already a time of release known?

Not at this time

  • Of course I want to connect it also on my PC to program things, I don’t want to program everything manually (30 contacts with 70 pushbuttons). Is it possible to have a beta version of the sofware somewhere?

As soon as it is ready, we will make it available for free download.

  • Is there a possibility in the future that there will be a RF connection possible? Since I have a Philips Pronto universal remote control with IR and RF, I want to connect it to the velbus system of course.

We welcome all idea’s for future modules.

Hi,

I see that the software is released, that’s great news.

What abaout the availability of the modules? Are all modules already available, and maybe others in the pipeline?
