I tried to edit the velbus.cfgx file and added the line below but its still showing as unknown.
<velbusType Type=\"0x38\" Name=\"VMB1DM-R 1-channel Dimmer\" Channels=\"1\" Register=\"Counter\" Function=\"no\" Commands= \"Dimmer\"/>
Module VMB1DM-R is direct replacement for VMB1DM so I copied the same line but changed the Type to the next free 0x38.
Am I doing something wrong?
FYI - I recently upgraded all my firmware to the latest and since my comform system is throwing a wobble. The time keeps changing and its really not communicating with velbus very well.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? 
My Velbus installation does have 4-button LED panels and also the new edgelit panels, and also a weather station and blind relays in addition to various standard dimmers and relays, just in case that may cause an issue with the firmware.

https://www.cytech.biz/product_details.php?item_id=231
The main changes are;

• The Velbus modules supported by UCM/Velbus instead of being hard-coded, are based on a configuration file called velbus.cfgx Thus future velbus modules can be supported by editing the configuration file. The format of the file wil be described in this manual.
• Support for Vlebus modules increased according to Velbus Module table in this manual
• The Counter or Sensor assigned to  Velbus address/Channel  in the table  is unique ie not duplicated in different lines of Velbus to Comfort
•  Response Wizard Commands to Velbus are determined by velbus.cfgx Commands=”xxx” parameter
• In Monitor Mode the  “Clear screen” button  clears the displayed data.
• Comfigurator 3.12.12 is required for this firmware

     Users can upgrade to the UCM/Velbus Beta Firmware by downloading the new firmware from https://www.cytech.biz/product_details.p...id=234Look for UCM/Velbus 7.117 (Beta). download and unzip to the cbf file

Then go to Modules Tab.  Right clicking and selecting \"Upgrade from Local file\"
As we do not have any of the new Velbus modules, we would appreciate any feedback from Velbus users and installers.

I am having some trouble with velbus and the dimmer modules. I have set a response to do lights on/off. I have 3 dimmer modules and 2 x 4 channel relay switches. If I execute the response within comfigurator for the dimmer module the action works fine and for the relays. However when I try and do the same action in the android app only the relays work. The dimmer modules either dont work or seem to take the action a few minutes later. I have deleted all my previous emails, deleted the app, resent the cclx file and re-imported to the newly installed app but still get the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Up until now, I simply had a number of responses which would set the dim level at a fixed percentage, eg, 10,20,40,70 % etc, and my control menu had an option to set at those specific levels.
However, with the slider, how do I implement dimming via the slider ?
My understanding is that the control menu needs to have no on/off options in order for the slider to be present, so I have done that, but the use of the slider has no effect.
Does the slider value adjust the counter value, and as such set the dimming value ?

For VMB1RYNO and  VMB4RYNO please select VMB1RY and VMB4RY instead.
For VMBDMI please select VMB1DM instead

Select the correct Velbus address of each module. Note that the Velbus module and Type selected for sending commands using Response wizard does not have to correspond with the Velbus module in the Velbus to Comfort Tab which has been learned or Manually added

This is done by UCM/Velbus querying each module on the bus and identifying the module type and address

There may be some cases where this does not work and the screen is blank after learning. We are looking into the reason for this problem

However a workaround is to manually add the modules
Click on Add Modules and select the Module Type and Address

Once the velbus modules are added, you can go ahead to map the channels to Counters or sensors

Note that it is possible to send commands to Velbus using the Response Wizard even without adding or learning the modules in the Velbus to Comfort Screen. You can send commands to any Velbus module without adding it to Velbus to Comfort.

This why i want to use compfort logic engine to get messages form velbus and act as \"Brain\" to create scenarios.

Tried to write some data to velbus EEPROM and received errors doing so. Scanning all modules indicates Velbus is not found. Led is green, sometimes all D2,3,4 leds blink red.

Is it broke?

Anyway, as I am a velbus/comfort user I was thinking I might have something like this available through the VMB1TC, which is quite affordable at only about 150 euro.

My question is,

1) how easy would it be, or is it even possible, to use the vmb1tc as an input device to set counter values (eg temp counter) in comfort ?
2) Would it be possible to get the VMB1TC to react based on scs temp readings, either through a macro of some description, or but getting comfort to transmit scs temps as if it was a vmb1TS temp sensor ?

If the above could be done, then the VMB1TC could be used as a user interface for heating control to comfort (irrespective of actual heating controltechnology,as comfort could interface to zwave etc)
