CBus Homegate PC Software Overview
The HomeGate software package is a powerful yet easy to use software application that provides a simple-to-use graphical interface to C-Bus from a personal computer. HomeGate has been especially developed for the novice user and the residential market.

Using HomeGate it is possible to control and monitor your home's automation system from the PC, including from a remote location over the Internet. This version of HomeGate features a user programmable logic engine that allows the user to create and run scenarios, events and routines.

The programming language used in the logic engine is similar to the pascal computer language, and the HomeGate provides two programming methods. Wizards allow the novice user to set or create simple programs while for the more advanced user a text based editor is available for more complex and sophisticated functions:
- Scheduling of events based on time and date
- Conditional logic (if then, and, or, not etc.)
- Flow Control (for, repeat, while)
- Variables (Integer, Real, Boolean, Character, String) Arithmetical calculations

The logic engine also supports other applications including:
- Control and monitoring of C-Bus group addresses and scenes
- Serial and TCP/IP interfaces
- Data and event logging
- User inputs and outputs
- Edge triggered events
