I have always some programming in Comfort where I use action 31 to react to the on/off (255/0) value of Counters.
Today, I have added some programming where I need to check the value of a Counter at some time other than when it has just changed. To do this, I am using action 81 (all programming is via Comfigurator).
In C-Bus Toolkit, I can see that Lighting Group 102 (66H) is on. However the value of Counter 102 in Comfort is zero rather than 255. I realised that the group (it's actually a light sensor) has been on all day - and I have changed the programming during the day. A sudden brainwave suggested that I needed to press SW1 on the C-Bus UCM, forcing it to do a reset and update all the Counter values. I was then going to proudly contribute some useful information to the forum.
Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work! The counter has stubbornly stuck on zero.
Looking at the Counter values (using the Monitor check box on the home control page in Comfigurator, and/or Telnet doing C?66 type stuff, all the counters seem to be zero).
I am now not sure whether I am seeing the true values of the counter and/or whether they are truly reflecting the C-Bus group values.
