How do update comfort zone status to cbus (let say at system startup). The idea is the corresponding zone will trigger Cbus relay. (e.g Zone one will trigger group 1 etc). FYI I am using comfort file system 34 and I only have cbus-ucm,cbus relays installed at the location.
Hi. Thanks for the info. I\'ve programmed zone on/off response to toggle cbus group. So what I did was I opened some windows and then initiated the engineer reset but it didnt seem to update the zone status to cbus on system start up.All the groups are in Off state. But it does send out the signal on/offf i open and close the zone right after that.
At system reset, it takes some time for th UCM/CBus to initialise the communications with the CBus. You will notice on the UCM/CBUS that therei s some activity with ERROR and BUSY before the RDY green led comes on. Once this is achieved than the UCM/CBUS is ready for communications with CBUS
Hence the zone changes will only report after about 10 to 20 seconds after reset
Hi, I did that and it seemed to work fine for a couple of hours, but right after I redownloaded the program (for changes), it has stop from responding.I\'ve tried a few steps which were by resetting the main panel,resetting the ucm and redownloaded the program but with no luck. Comfort still capable to send normal lighting program such as Night lighs On (under home control) but it has lost the capability to send out the zone status. What could be wrong with my program? Attached is the program that I did for this project. Please look at zone on and off response. Thank you.
Do you mean that Cbus commands cannot be sent from Comfort? Check the LEDs on the UCM/CBUS according to the UCM/CBUS Manual. When sening out a command to CBus, the BUSY2 led should blink, when receiving Cbus messages the BUSY 1 should blink. If ERR LEED is on it means there is no connection to Cbus
The Night Lights menu in Home Control has a NULL response so itcannot work
Make other home control menus to control some Cbus lights
Actually it is not all of the commands. It happened only to On/off response. Today I\'ve upgraded the software from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2. After redownloaded the program with the new software, it seems to work fine. The Zone On/Off responses work perfectly.Hopefully it will stay that way.
And on the home control menu, I left the response to NULL on purpose. I use that onlt when I need to test the program.
There is no reason why it will not work with 2.2.1 or 2.2.2
If you have problems in future, use the Monitor Mode on Comfigurator (or Mindit) and check the messages when the zone goes ON and OFF

Did you eventually get this CBUS update right? I have a similar problem, to put it simply, I use HomeGate on the CBUS side to tell me what zones are currently triggered. It works fine once you\'ve \'triggered\' all the zones to get both sides in sync.
I traced this to startup issues, Minder Pro runs permanently (batteries), after a power failure the Homegate PC needs to start and sync to the CBUS. When this happens the status of eg. an open window is NOT reflected on CBUS. I think Minder only sends on a trigger - which is normal.
My question is, can I send a CBUS command to Minder Pro to refresh the current security status? From configurator I did a system reset and then all the triggers came flooding back in. What will happen if I do this while armed?
Below is the HomeGate log file right after a system reset command:
