I have a whole house C-Bus installation and a new Nevo S70 URC.
I am investigating how to program the Nevo to control some of the C-Bus installation but am coming up against a brick wall.
Does anyone have any experience of how to do it?
Many thanks
Duncan

Single direction is straight forward, assuming you have at least a basic understanding of how C-Bus RS232 works.
Just talk to the C-Bus programer and they should be able to supply the required RS232 codes.
They will look something like this:
\053800790149
When entered into Nevo it will look like this:
\\053800790149

I have a Wiser control system which doesn't have a serial connection. I would like to have two way control of any of the groups in the installation but specifically of the living room in which the Nevo will be used. I would like to be able to incorporate setting a lighting scene into a Nevo macro to "watch movie".
I'm not sure this is currently possible but wondered if anyone knew differently. I think it is possible to bring up the Wiser interface on the Nevo and control it from the Nevo touch screen but that does not automatically activate a lighting state with a home theatre macro.
Hope that explains my question more fully.
Many thanks

Well...
If you are in the room you are controlling then two is of no use. It will also make programing really easy.
You will need a solid understanding of c-bus, .net regular expressions and nevo widgets to make a two way driver for the nevo.
As I mentoned all you need to do is talk to the c-bus programmer. He/She will be able to give you the string to send from the nevo. If the "watch movie" macro is a c-bus task then it should take no longer than 5min to make a single way driver working for the S70.
But now you are asking about wiser. What one do you want to control, c-bus or wiser? As you have a S70 you can view web pages on it. So if the wiser has a web interface you could see it on the Nevo.
