This was because some cbus1 actions were Trigger application and this was not converted correctly. Only lighting was specifically supported
The same would happen with enable

There is an isue with recent versions of Comfigurator or Wizcomfort. CCLX files created with recent versions of comfigurator can not be opened by wizcomfort. Wizcomfort says error opening configuration file. Error reading file D:...........CCLX. There is an error in XML Document (3305,6).

Wizcomfort is supposed to be replaced by User Mode in Comfigurator which will continue to be enhanced.

The original intention of wizcomfort was to run on a wall mount windows screen but that idea is no longer viable. The look is outdated now.

Also we have separate apps for iPad, iPhone, Android Tablet and Android Phone. The  android phone and tablet apps are being revamped see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum110/3804.html and http://www.comfortforums.com/forum110/3810.html


I also recommend the excellent ComfortClient, see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum65/ which is very good value for money and  very powerful. It should be able do all of Wizcomfort functions and more

Hi
I have just upgraded to Cbus 2 and all is well apart from triggerin Cbus 1 to trigger a group I would put in 

Cbus RampInst UCM-Cbus 150 255 202
 which gave 
197,19,150,2,15,253,202, 255

this was converted by Comfigurator 3.8.8 to

Cbus2 UCM-Cbus 202 150 2,0
which gave 
197,19,5,202,0,2,150,0, 255
which didnt triggger the group 

so I put 255 in and I get told that Invalid Action Selector: Cbus2 UCM-Cbus 202 150 2,255

So I put in 254 and it all works fine i.e. it turns the light on in a cbus switch configured for trigger group BUT It doesnt work in Homegate or Ctouch software that needs a trigger of 255
is this a bug with Configurator 3.8.8


The rest all looks great so far
Congratulations to you all for the hard work which must have gone into this

Try 197,19,5,202,0,2,150,15,253,255.

This is Instantaneous Ramp to 255. Seems Comfigurator does have an issue converting them. I am also waiting for the next release.

Thanks but Comfigurator still says
Invalid Action Selector:Cbus2 UCM-Cbus 202 150 2.255
I used 
Edit Action Codes
197,19,5,202,0,2,150,15,253,255

I think Comfigurator doesn\'t like 255 in the trigger group.

I\'m not a CBus expert but isn\'t 121 the code for ON?

[mikegriff]

Thanks Julian
but doesn\'t do it here :-( 
MikeP.S why do I have to put double returns to make things look readable

The conversion of cbus actions from cbus1 to 2 works only with the lighting application
This should be fixed in the next comfigurator

[Ingo]

The Trigger Application uses the \'Instant Ramp\' and not the \'Switch On\' command. \'On\' will probably work but it\'s not in the Cbus spec.

Julian is right, I was thinking of the Enable Control application. Because the Trigger Application is compatible with the Lighting application it accepts On|Off and Ramp commands. It is however advised NOT to use a Ramp Over X Seconds so Yes, On|Off and Instantaneous Ramp will all work.
