Hi Chiu

Clipsal seem to have altered their use of Application 208 in Version 4.1.0 of Piced

How will this effect Comfort to Cbus implementation?

Just spent a couple of hours stripping out all references to "Application 208" in Clipsal software - I know I wasn't meant to use it! - but it used to work a treat! At least now all the lights have stopped flashing :(

Any way seems to have all changed now

Also wipes out Homegate < ver4 as this doesnt have the new system so cant be used with Ver 4+ Piced

Any thoughts?

Mike

I had to do the same thing.

I am a bit concerned though, the GetStringIBSystemIO("Security Armed Level Name", armLevel) in PICED 4.1.X does not seem to have the 4 alarm levels that Comfort has. It has (0 = disarmed, 1 = fully armed, 2 = partially armed).

Actually we were not aware of this. We will install this new version and check out the implications

The previous software for CTouch did not support the Security Application (208 or D0 hex) even though it was defined in the Cbus specs.
Comfort was the only product which used the Security Application. However the CTouch software (and earlier Piced versions) were able to use a workaround by specifying Application 208 and the "group" address for the security parameter

Hence this change is a positive development as the Security Application is supported directly and will make like easier. However the old templates will need modifcation. We will come out with a new template for Cytech/Comfort on C-Touch
