Hi,
I am having some trouble with velbus and the dimmer modules. I have set a response to do lights on/off. I have 3 dimmer modules and 2 x 4 channel relay switches. If I execute the response within comfigurator for the dimmer module the action works fine and for the relays. However when I try and do the same action in the android app only the relays work. The dimmer modules either dont work or seem to take the action a few minutes later. I have deleted all my previous emails, deleted the app, resent the cclx file and re-imported to the newly installed app but still get the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Chiu,
Cclx file sent as requested. I am using v1.6 of the app. No it has never worked correctly.
Thanks

Which menu item does the dimming? I can only see on and off commands in the control menu

At the moment I have just set them for on and off. I read somewhere on this forum that you are working on a dimming slide bar for velbus so thought I\'d just wait for that.

Hi, Just wondering if you managed to take a look at my cclx file for any issues? Thanks.
- slychiu - 02-09-2016
There does not seem to be anything wrong with the cclx file
But I am uncertain what problem you are having
The control menu commands are on and off
These should be working
There are no dimming commands. How do you dim using the control menu?
Which command in the control menu does not work?

Hi,
At the moment I am only using comfort to turn lights on and off including the dimmers. I am not using the dimming function yet. When I execute the command on/off within comfigurator it turns the lights on/off (both the replays and the dimming modules) when I try to do the same in the app only the replays turn on/off the dimmers do not seem to work in the app.
Thanks

We will give you an answer to your main problem tomorrow
You mentiioned you are not able to get SayZoneName working for a zone response between 7 PM to 5 AM
The sayzonename response in your file is;
If Hours >= 19 And Hours < 5 Then
Say ZoneName
End If
This is actually a common mistake
\"Hours\" is the hour of day and is a value from 0 to 23
Hence \"Hours >= 19\" And \"Hours < 5\" cannot both be true
eg if it is 10 PM, the Hours value is 22. It is >=19, but it is not < 5
The correct statement is
If Hours >= 19 OR Hours < 5 Then

The reason why the control of Velbus dimmer using the app is because the Velbus dimming values are from 0 to 100 instead of 0 to 255
when you turn on the dimmer to 100%, the counter value in Comfort is 100. For the Apps on/off button the value 100 is shown as off. So while you can switch on the dimmer by the app, the status remains Off. If you press the On/off icon again, because it has status Off, it turns the dimmer on again
The workaround for this problem is to use the Counter Response to convert any value >0 into 255
eg
Counter Response
If Counter 10 >0 then
Set Counter 10 = 255
end if
The slider will not work at the moment because of the range of dimming as 0 to 100
