I've noticed on a few occasions that the Counter values on Comfort, populated by CBus, change after a system reset.
When CBus populates counter values according to light levels, these levels are lost if you do a system reset on the Comfort side. Once the system return, the values in the counters reflect either 0 or 255. Below is an example of a light that was dimmed at 55%. I then did a system reset and found the coresponding counter to be 255 instead. Once the light changes level it will correct itself but still, is this designed like this or is there a bug in the system somewhere...
> C?6B
< C?6BFF
On the CBus side, PICED return the following in the Load Status:
Group 107 55%

When the UCM/Cbus is reset, it obtains the on/off status of all C-Bus group addresses through a report that Cbus provides. Hence you wil find that the values in the counters are either 0 and 255. There is no method of obtaining the dimming level of Cbus devices. The behaviour you describe is the expected one

What does the counter report look like? Is it a counter-by-counter value report or is it one string that you have to decode similar to the Z? command indicating either zone ON or OFF?
[12:05:32] > Z?
[12:05:32] < Z?0000000000006000

Alright thanks, then there is no reason for me to pursue this with the CBus forum, I have to live with it...
