+---- Thread: Ultra II Beta Firmware 5.166 (/thread-1352.html)
- admin - 02-14-2009
This is beta firmware for testing only for advanced users who wish to use the new feature of announcing any value in degrees. It is NOT for customers installations
This can be downloaded from https://www.cytech.biz/Downloads/Files/215/ULT5_166.zip
The changes described below are changes from ULT 5.164
Version 5.166 (12 February 2009) - Requires KATE29 Vocabulary
- Kate29 vocabulary added sentence N Degrees
- Added actions 32 - convert F to C, 33 = announce number, 34 = announce degrees to allow temperature and other values to be announced. These actions are not in Comfigurator yet. If kate28 vocabulary or older is used, the announce degrees action will announce only the number without \"degrees\" like action 33.
- While the keypad is repeating zone in alarm, other announcememnts like reminder messages will not be announced
To enter the actions use Enter Response Manually
Get SensorRegister 8
Action 32
Action 34
This gets the value of Sensor Register 8 which may hold a temperature from the SCS #1
Action 32 converts the value in Deg F to deg C
Action 34 announces the temperature in degees, eg \"60 degrees\"
Action 33 announces the number alone without degrees eg \"60\"
Kate29 vocabulary is needed for the degrees announcement, This is downloaded from https://www.cytech.biz/Downloads/Files/216/kate29.bin
If kate28 is used, action 34 will not announce degrees after the number ie it will be just like action 33

Tried this today and after a few frustrating false starts trying to get the firmware to upgrade (not the firmwares problem but something weird when I connected up the prog cable I think), I\'ve done some initial tests.
Looks (and sounds
) really good but I did discover after a few attempts that the 3 actions need to be adjacent to eachother. I was trying to put the get sensor register action outside of the IF - ENDIF and I was always getting 0 degrees! In the end I did the following to get it to work.
If NightTime = 0 Then
Get SensorRegister 8
Action 32
Action 34
Else
Get SensorRegister 8
Action 32
End If
Set LastOutsideTempC
The Set (counter value) doesn\'t seem to mind being after the ENDIF so wondered if this is a beta issue or is it as designed ie should the following work too?
Get SensorRegister 8
Action 32
If NightTime = 0 Then
Action 34
End If
Set LastOutsideTempC
Are you planning to add an Action to convert C to F too? Would be good for flexibility both ways!

The reason why the command sequence
Quote:Get SensorRegister 8do not work is that Action 34 will act on the return value of the previous action.
Action 32
If NightTime = 0 Then
Action 34
End If
Set LastOutsideTempC
If you use If NightTime=0, there is actually an action Get Night Time used in the IF statement, so Action 34 is actually announcing the value of NightTime, not the Fahrenheit value
Its easy enough to add an action for C to F in future

Thanks for that.
When the new firmware will exit the beta testing, i need again the files to build the Italian vocab, based on new features.
- slychiu - 02-18-2009
The files to change the new voice are attached
This can be used in current firmware as well. It adds a new sentence which is not used yet. In fact current firmware 5.164 is released with version 29 vocab so that when you upgrade to the new firmware, the vocabulary wil be compatible
If you do change the Italian vocab, please let us have the bin and tab files for the benefit of our Italian customers, thanks

Roger, will do. Thanks.
