In the lastest CBUS Toolkit, there is now an option to \'Flash\' a group - it appears to work just fine, and you can specify a delay between flashes.

Can you enable this functionality via Comfort - this can then be used as part of an Alert sequence to flash a light or group (ie all lights).

I use this now with a sequence of timers, but this functionality would remove the need for all of that - and CBUS can handle it.

Thanks

Do you and anyone know what Cbus commands are used to flash the lights?

Aren\'t Cytech CBUS Enabled partners ? We cannot gain access to the protocol docs, but you can.

In theory, yes, but getting the right information from Schneider is not always so straightforward

According to Schneider in Singapore the flash command is only for diagnostic purposes. It is not defined in the CBus commands. It is done in the toolkit by sending a command on, delay, then Off  delay then on using a program in the toolkit

Hence it is not possible to just send one command to do this

Comfort can do the same thing using timers
