There is a problem with the approach with Prontoscript that we have used. The variables are created in Pronto, not in ProntoEdit, and when you switch off the Pronto, there is no non-volatile memory for variables so the setup is lost
We will have a new way of configuration using Pronto Edit next week which does not lose the variables when Pronto is switched off

This will include KNX/EIB control and many other features
