Support for new Velbus modules

[bs85]

When are you going to add support for the new Velbus modules?

VMB4RYLD - 4 Channel Relay Module
VMB4RYNO - 4 Channel Relay Module
VMB4DC - 4 Channel 0-10V Controller
VMB1LED - LED Dimmer Module

The 2 relay modules are similar to the exiting relay modules which we support, so it should be quite simple to add support for these.

The 0 to 10V and the LED dimmer will need further study

Do you have a pending requirement to use these new modules?

[bs85]

I have some LED dimmer modules on order.
So support for these would be appreciated.

I have received a couple of VMB1LED modules.

When doing a learn with the VMB1LED modules connected it fails with a No response to Velbus Learn Request.

When added manually as VMB1DM modules they work OK.

Comfigurator does not recognise the module type of VMB1LED because it was introduces after the UCM/Velbus became available but as most of the commands are the same as VMB1DM it should work
In future we will add support for the new modules. We are waiting for our order of the modules from Velleman so we can test

Any updates on adding the newer modules?

UCM/Velbus 5.229 can be downloaded from the website at https://www.cytech.biz/ucmvelbus_firmware.html which supports the new Velbus Modules

This is labelled a Beta version at the moment
It fixed the problem in previous versions that sometimes when learning the Velbus network, an error message is seen, even  though the network is scanned correctly

Got 5.229 firmware installed and still getting the \"No response to Velbus Learn request\" every time a learn is run.

[ident]

You are right, there is still a problem which is being looked into

[ident]

The new Velbus 5.230 beta firmware can be downloaded from the website which fixes the error when learning
