I would like to use a counter value created by response to send to a cbus group as the value to ramp to without 255 if statements. Is it possible to send the counter variable value in the serial string?

Action 197 which sends data to the UCM/CBUS is able to send fixed data only not variables. Hence I am afraid you will need a lot of IF statements

Thanks for the reply

This should not be difficult to implement in future, maybe you can slip this into the recomendation  list, in the mean time Ill like some more responses please, a few IF statements quikly eat into the available amount.

a new action to send counter value to Cbus may be possible in the future

255 Responses is tedious but possible with Comfort Ultra (1023 Responses)

Currently working with a Gen II - Ultra.

Maybe you can think of a diff way I can achieve what I want ?

I have a C-Bus Touch Panel with a Slider - This is for feedback from a timer set via C-Bus to Comfort with the help of a counter response - I want the slider or feedback to count down in increments as the timer in comfort expire (currently setting value of Comfort Counter)

The way I achieve this is by using a counter/Group updated from comfort Counter to the C-Bus group in increments with If statements and send C-Bus group commands with each in a huge response. I can see that it would be much nicer if I could use the Comfort Counter as a variable to send in the Serial string to C-Bus, but we establish that is not possible. I just thought maybe there would be a way to get it to c-bus

Maybe you know another way I can monitor Counter values in Comfort from C-Bus ? Monitor/Security/1 Application only give status of alarm zones ?

How else can I get a analog (0-255) value to c-bus ?

I cannot think of a better way to do it that what you have done/
Does the slider work with the response you have written?

Very well - just using a lot of valuable space for just giving feedback of a timer to C-Bus Touch screen.
