Hi Matt,

Posted in another thread, but prob better off doing a new one as I seem to have a few issues.
I have followed the guide and dont really see any error messages until I get to the discovery bit, so i am asssuming I am doing things right, but prob missing somehting obvious.

1) I notice my alarm file, despite me uploading a revused version of it, does no seem to be uploading. For example, I set the number of counters to be looked at to just counters =50, and responses =301,302  so I expect a fairly limited number of devices to be discovered. I limited the number of zones to 1, the number of outputs to 1, the number of counters to 1 and the number of responses to just 2 responses (301 and 302). 
However, when I upload my alarm file and download it again, it seems to show a full range of inputs, outputs etc, ie, it does not seem to be uploading the file!

2) When I to discovery in the smart app, I get a list of devices, I select just one, as a test, and when I go to save it, I get the error \"device id must be unique\".
In order to resolve, I have pretty much deleted the \"my smart app\" and all the \"my device handlers\" files and redid them, but to no avail, I am still getting the same error.

I feel, so close, hope its something obvious!

Hi Wexfordmad

Thanks for downloading the software - and your donation

I have seen your telemetry data, I\'ll take a look at it tomorrow and see what is going on. It does look like it has correctly connected to the alarm so it is probably a config issue. As you say its probably something simple - but I know that the current config mechanism isn\'t particularly intuitive - it is something we are working on improving.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Wexfordman.

From the web GUI can you send diagnostics please? That should give me all I need to debug what is going on.

Thanks,

Matt

THanks Matt,
Just sent it.
Thanks,.Eamon

Hi Matt,

Progress being made :-)

I have a number of devices now added, but just need to figure out now how to control them, before adding them to my google assistant.

I go into the comfort bridge device, and select the option \"add response device\" but it is not selectable, any idea what is happening here ?

Anyone a quick idea on what might be causing this latest issue, ie what am I missing ?

Cant add a response device type, i get no reaction when i select the option under the comfort bridge device ?

Have you entered your password in the alarm file on the R pi

Hi Toni,

Yep, I can arm and disarm the system, and see counter states, zone states etc.

I cant add a a response device though for some reason. There are lots of existing \"response\" devices present, but I dont know what they are or what responses they refer to.

I tried to edit one to point it toward a response, and that didnt work, what I did was open the response device, renamed it and assigned on response of 300 and off response of 301 to it (these are the on/off response numbers in comfort). The response eitehr on or off didnt work though

Have I done it correctly ?

I have been working with WexfordMan to identify the issue and I have seen 2 new issues I am looking into.

1. Responses above 255 will not execute from the UHAI - this is as a result of double byte responses not being recognised. I will resolve this in the next release, but it can worked around by renumbering responses which need to be called from SmartThings or a new response can be added which triggers the target response. In either case make sure the response is numbered below 256.

2. SD Card filling up. I haven\'t seen this before and want to work closely with WexfordMan on working out what caused it. In normal operation the disk should never get close to being filled, but for some reason this has caused an issue on his install.

I\'m going to start a new topic to get a poll of disk free as reported on the interface to see if anyone else is suffering.

Thanks,

Matt

Well, to update on Matts info above, with respect to now controlling devices in comfort, its now working a charm.

I did as Matt sugested and moved my response numbers to below 255 and it now works 100% of the time.

To be clear, I actually now have google assistant control of my comfort system, including my Velbus lighting system all now via matts solution. Google assistant control of velbus was not possible for me until this solution came about, I am absolutely thrilled, well done and thanks Matt.

Without droning on, I do recall building our house back on 2000, and putting in at the time smart lighting (was x10 at the time), comfort, homevision, and also I purchased a load of mics, mixers etc to get voice control via hal2000 at the time. It never worked, so this is nearly 20 years in the making. I have 5 google home devices spread about the house now, and each one of them is controlling my lighting via voice!
Just to explain why I had response numbers above 255, it was because i grouped response numbers together, so all my light responses were in the 300 range, its not that I had 300+ responses.

Fan feckin tastic!
