Would it be possible to add an alias (as an enhancement) for the first 64 flags so that you can query these via f? alone or as f?00. Seems pointless to have to enter the extra 00 for the first set.

f? - Query all flags
PC f?00
UCM f?00aabbccddeeffgghh
f?00 Requests for the state of 64 flags starting from Flag 1
The reply gives the status of 64 flags on a bit by bit basis
If there are more than 64 flags in future, f?01 will request for the next 64 flags at one time
aa = Flags 1 to 8 with bit 0 = Flag1
bb = Flags 9 to 16 with bit 0 = Flag 9
cc = Flags 17 to 24 with bit 0 = Flag 17
dd = Flags 25 to 32 with bit 0 = Flag 25
ee = Flags 33 to 48 with bit 0 = Flag 33
ff = Flags 49 to 56 with bit 0 = Flag 49
gg = Flags 57 to 64 with bit 0 = Flag 57

UCM/Universal 6.010

This is not a \"special problem\" but it is regarding the UCM/Universal which it happens that Ingo and palmlodge who have the UCM/Cbus issue are also using

This latest version 6.010 fixes the known issues but we have also decided to consider making it interchangeable with the general UCM.

This means that you can upgrade a UCM06 (USB, 232 or Ethernet) to a Universal and vice versa

Normally you can only upgrade firmware of a module with the same type ie UCM/Cbus to UCM/Cbus and KNX to KNX etc This is for protection against a wrong upgrade as well as commercial reasons

However since the UCM06 and Universal are so similar, with the same interfaces available and at the same price, this can be practical

You need UCM 6.010 and Universal 6.010

You can upgrade UCM 6.010 to Universal by Direct Connection to PC, and from Universal to UCM by Comfort Bus

UCM/Zwave

Hi Chiu

The zwave 6.008 firmware you sent for me to try didn\'t work unfortunately.

It upraded from 5.218 to 6.008 fine using programming cable and I reset the system.

The then got a UCM comms failure on ID 2 (Zwave). My other UCMÃ¢â¬â¢s were OK though.

Reverted back to 5.218 and comms back OK.

Seems firmware may need some further tweaking.

Regards

Julian
