			<description><![CDATA[The new firmware has the following change<br />
<br />
When a Counter is mapped to a Zwave Node, any change in the Zwave node obtained by polling by the UCM/Zwave of the node will trigger&nbsp; the Counter Response based on its value<br />
<br />
This makes it consistent with Sensor mapped to Zwave node - any change in the zwave node triggers the Sensor Response based on the value<br />
<br />
Note that the polling time varies from a few seconds to 20 seconds maximum so the update and response may not be immediate<br />
<br />
This new feature allows Zwave nodes to trigger Responses in Comfort without needing to Associate the Zwave node to a Virtuak Node<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I have two (experimental) Z-Wave networks each with their own UCM/Z-Wave.<br />
<br />
UCM02 is part of a Vera Edge network and UCM03 is part of a Fibaro network.  Both UCMs have learnt the devices in their respective networks and those devices correctly appear in the Z-Wave mapping screens in Comfigurator Modules.  <br />
<br />
When I try to write a response to perform a basic get or set command for a Z-Wave device, if the UCM Name is set to UCM02 (default) then the Devices that appear in the Device IDs pop-up are correctly the ones for the UCM02 network.  However, if I change the UCM Name to UCM03, then the devices that appear are again the UCM02 network devices, not the UCM03 network devices.<br />
<br />
I can work round the problem by adding a command for UCM02 then manually editing the response or the action codes changing the UCM number and the deviceID but clearly it would be nicer if Comfigurator displayed the correct Device IDs.<br />
<br />
I am using Comfigurator V3.11.10.0]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Changes from Zwave 7.062<br />
<br />
If a zwave device is mapped to a counter and causes a change in the counter value, Comfort will broadcast the change in counter value to all UCMs. The Zwave UCM acts on the counter change and sends the change back to the mapped Zwave node. This may cause a racing state in certain situations, eg the Zwave node is a dimmer which is dimming slowly. The reflection of the counter value back to the zwaave node causes the dimmer level to switch back to a previous level<br />
<br />
Zwave 7.068 prevents the counter broadcast from being sent back to the Zwave node if the counter change orginated from the same node earllier<br />
<br />
This may solve some strange problems which cause some nodes to switch on and off <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">NOTE Comfort firmware 7.070 is required for this function</span><br />

			<description><![CDATA[UCM/Zwave 7.062&nbsp; (beta) has the following change<br />
<br />
The timeout during the learning process for query of a zwave node has been increased from 8 seconds to 70 seconds. This may help prevent situations where UCM/Zwave is unable to detect a multichannel device which results in it being assigned as a Basic node.<br />
<br />
This may happen due to&nbsp; Zwave network issues<br />
<br />
The increased time-out does not mean that it will&nbsp; take longer to learn a zwave network from the primary. It means that if there are nodes which do not respond at all, the learning may take longer. Nodes which take longer than 8 seconds to reply will be learned correctly<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The new UCM/Zwave 7.061 beta allows Flags to be mapped to Zwave Virtual nodes<br />
Please download from <a href="https://www.cytech.biz/ucmzwave_firmware.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.cytech.biz/ucmzwave_firmware.html</a><br />
<br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Flags can be used for mapping for Zwave nodes are 2 state ie either On or Off</li>
<li>Fixed a bug with Manufacturer query not supported<br />
</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
If the same flag is mapped to other devices eg Cbus, then it allows this mechanism to be used for sending commands from one system to another<br />
<br />
Changing the state of the flag also changes the state of the mapped Zwave node, ie it is a 2 way control<br />
<br />
Cmfigurator 3.9.5 (Beta) is required to support the new feature<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The new firmware Zwave 7.016 is the version that has been officially certified by Zwave, see the announcement in <a href="http://www.comfortforums.com/forum25/3424.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">http://www.comfortforums.com/forum25/3424.html</a><br />

<br />
The changes from Zwave 6.024 are<br />
<br />
 <ul class="mycode_list"><li>Virtual node counter update triggers Comfort Response, even if the value is unchanged so Scene commands can work.</li>
<li>Improved EEPROM write cycle during Learn mode. &nbsp;Previously, it did not respond to Poll command during write.</li>
<li>Backup Z-Wave data block in case of learn failure[size=, ][/size]which causes it to reset and all virtual nodes lost. This workaround is recommended by Z-Wave. &nbsp;In event of failure, data block is restored to same network ID and node ID. If the controller is not in network before learn, the backup will not be initiated.</li>
<li>EEPROM is updated automatically, after virtual node is added or removed. &nbsp;Hence, no need to \"learn\" from Primary Controller again.</li>
<li>UCM/Zwave Learn mode time-out increased to&nbsp;60 secs.&nbsp; This caters for cases where learn error happened, but user is unaware and keeps waiting for completion.</li>
<li>Automatic \"factory default reset\" when controller is excluded from network. Added new auto report status when UCM source 1D is available.</li>
<li>Cater for Multilevel switch command class. Status report value cannot be 100(Ox64) to 254(OxFE). If value falls in this forbidden range, will report as 255(OxFF) instead. <br />
</li>
<li>During learn, controllers are polled for supported command classes as well.</li>
<li>Patched Multilevel Switch Report Command. &nbsp;Previously, registers are not updated correctly[size=.][/size]</li>
<li>Inhibit Z-Wave commands to send to non-existing nodes or channels in nodes. Also inhibit Z- Wave commands sending to non-supported nodes.</li>
<li>Inhibit Z-Wave GET commands for multichannel bit address (ie. requiring reply from destination).</li>
<li>&nbsp;Add new status to indicate when response commands are inhibited.</li>

The new features will be[size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"][size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"]:[/font][/size][/font][/size][size=\"2\"][size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"]<br />
<br />

<li>[size=\"2\"][font=\"Verdana\"][/font]Automatically display Zwave status on status bar during Learn Mod[/size]</li>
<li>[size=\"2\"]Add Comment Field for each Device in Zwave Mapping Table to identify the node, which is saved in EEPROM[/size]</li>
<li>[size=\"2\"][font=\"Verdana\"][/font]Reduce Read and Write to EEPROM Time by implementing maximum node number&nbsp;to read/write. After upgrading firmware, Learn again to get the benefit of the new feature[/size]</li>
<li>[size=\"2\"]Warning when RESET to Default Button is pressed to prevent creating additional non-existent&nbsp;nodes in the Z-Wave Network[/size]. </li>
</ol>
[size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"][size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"]<div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">[size=\"2\"]Comfigurator  3.5.0 (currently in beta) is needed to take advantage of the new  featurers. If an older Comfigurator version is used with the new  firmware, it will still work but without the new features[/size]</div><div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">[size=\"2\"]The possible status values in the status bar are;<br />

<li>[size=\"2\"]Ã¢â¬ÅEEPROM Missing/FaultyÃ¢â¬Â - U2 EEPROM problem[/size]</li>

<li>[size=\"2\"]Ã¢â¬ÅUCM/Zwave not in any NetworkÃ¢â¬Â - UCM/Zwave has not gone through Learn process[/size]</li>

<li>[size=\"2\"]Ã¢â¬ÅReceiving Network DataÃ¢â¬Â. This status is seen during the Learn Process.[/size]</li>
<li>[size=\"2\"]Ã¢â¬ÅWriting EEPROMÃ¢â¬Â. This status is seen during the Learn Process.[/size]</li>
<li>[size=\"2\"]Ã¢â¬ÅLearn Process SuccessÃ¢â¬Â. This status is seen when Learn is completed.[/size]</li>
<li>Ã¢â¬ÅLearn Process Completed with ErrorsÃ¢â¬Â This status is seen when Learn is[size=\"2\"] completed.[/size]</li>
<li>Ã¢â¬ÅCommand Transmitted - waiting for ACKÃ¢â¬Â This is seen when a Z-Wave command has transmitted and is waiting for a response from Z-Wave[size=\"2\"] network.[/size]</li>
<li>Z-Wave Network Busy/Jammed (RF ErrorÃ¢â¬Â). This is seen when there is a[size=\"2\"] Z-Wave network problem.[/size]</li>
<li>[size=\"2\"]Ã¢â¬ÅUnknown Transmit ErrorÃ¢â¬Â -&nbsp; undefined error during transmission to Z-Wave[/size]</li>
</ul>
[size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"][size=\"3\"][font=\"Verdana\"] <div style="text-align: left;" class="mycode_align">[size=\"2\"]The \"Get Status\" Button will cause the current Z-Wave status to appear on the status bar. However during the Learn Process, the Z-Wave status automatically appears on the status bar[/size]</div>
[size=\"2\"]The new Comments field for every Z-Wave node seen in the Zwave Mapping table allows each node to be identified with text, eg \"Living Room Light\". This is saved in the UCM/Zwave EEPROM by a Write to EEPROM and thus can be read back. In previous firmware, the Zwave Nodes have no text identification so it may be difficult to know what the nodes are especially in a large network.[/size]<br />
<br />
[size=\"2\"]The Read from EEPROM and Wriite to EEPROM process has been considerably speeded up when the number of Z-Wave nodes are small. After upgrading the firmware to Zwave 6.023, you must repeat the Learn process with the promiiary controller to updare the Z-Wave network to the UCM/Zwave in order too take advantage of the feature[/size]<br />
<br />
[size=\"2\"]Lastly the RESET button when pressed will pop up a warning message. RESET does not reset the UCM/Zwave like the physical reset button on the UCM, it clears the EEPROM in UCM/Zwave so all the Z-Wave Network information is lost. This should NOT be done without leaving the existing Z-Wave network otherwise the UCM/Zwave remains part of the network. If the RESET to default button is pressed and the UCM/Zwave is learned again, The UCM/Zwave is added aagain to the Zwave network and another \"Static Controller\"&nbsp; will be seen in the list of Zwave nodes.[/size]<br />
<br />
[size=\"2\"]The RESET to default button should only be used as a last resort when the UCM/Zwave has been physically removed from the site.[/size]<br />
