Vocabulary
Used with Vocabulary version 31. Kate and Myma.are the available voices, but Myma is supplied by default. This  supports the announcement for event log and alarm for "SMS Alarm" older vocab versions will announce "Dial Failure" instead of  "SMS Trouble"

  • When entering phone numbers on keypad, AWAY key is for '+' IDD prefix for gsm Do NOT use this for other phone types as it is ignored. .
  • Reduce time for GSM taken to start talk when answering call
  • Fixed GSM incoming call not answered when alarm is repeated zones
UCM Commands
  • When zones are unbypassed, the zone state is reported to the Comfort Bus for KNX, CBUS zone monitoring etc
  • Handle UCM command TPnn query to get Time program parameters
  • Support UCM command RSdd where dd is the ID to be reset. If dd is left out, Comfort is reset. If firmware < 5.168 RSdd will also reset whole sysytem just like RS Requires UCM 5.182

  • Supports LR Login Report to UCM when user logs in by keypad, or phone or UCM Requires UCM 5.202
Keypad
  • Allow longer codes to be entered at keypad without timing out. Timeout after each key is pressed.
Security - Arming/Disarming
  • When zones are unbypassed, the zone state is reported to the Comfort Bus for KNX, CBUS zone monitoring etc
  • When unable to arm, announce what prevented the system from arming; "Low Battery", Alarm Type instead of "Call Engineer to Reset" for everything. "Call Engineer to Reset" is announced only when Engineer Reset is needed
  • If user is not authorised to arm, say "wrong code" not "please call engineer to reset "
  • When there is arm failure, keypad announces "Arm Failure". Attempt to arm will cause "Arm Failure" Announcement
  • The zone which causes Arm Failure will be recorded in the event Log. If the Entry door was not opened in Away Arming, no zone will be recorded in the event log.
  • Autoshunt Zone Count is not reset when system re-armed back to alert state after the alarm Siren time expires to prevent repeated zone trigger from causing alarm after system re-arms after timeout
  • Comply to DD243 - EEPROM Flag Location 43 Unused Bit 5 (to be called Entry Disable CMS dial) if set, prevents intruder alarm after entry delay from dialing to CMS, CMS is disabled until system disarmed
Dial Out
  • Pager option is no longer supported Pager words in vocabulary are not used
  • Stop dialouts to Voice Phone but not CMS or SMS when disarm alarm after alarm, so user will not get called to hear "Security Off" Voice Phone will not be dialed when alarm is disarmed after alarm
  • In dial-out Phone Intercom Mode, sometimes Comfort could not detect busy tone after hang up. Improved detection of busy tone - applicable only when busy tone is supplied when remote user hangs up.
  • When remote phone answers DP, dont announce doorbell and ID again as it has been announced in the initial announcement, so there is no "doorbell 1, doorbell 1" repeat announcement
  • Improved sensitivity of voice detection in dialout to allow Comfort to detect voice answer and give alarm message.
  • For dial out, allow "0" DTMF key (in addition to # key) to acknowledge the alarm and end the call. This is to allow the "0" key to be recorded in a mobile phone voicemail greeting message to acknowledge the alarm and prevent further dial out to voicemail, which costs money. "#" key may be used by the voicemail to end the recorded message so cannot be used. When "0" key is detected, the alarm message will be played one more time before "Thank You, goodbye" so the full message is recorded properly into voicemail.
Event Log
  • Fixed Bug action 88 Do Alarm Report User was not recorded in event log
  • Added action 43 clear event log
  • Login user code without arm/disarm will be recorded in event log
  • The zone which caused arm failure is recorded in the event log. Security Off by keypad is no longer recorded in event log in the event of arm failure.
Slave
  • Send Speaker and Strobe commands to Slave so that Slave Speaker and Strobe outputs can work if any SEM ID = 1,2,3 has minimum firmware SEM 5.167. Siren command is re-broadcast after 1 second to ensure that SEMs doe not miss the command. If no SEM has the minimum firmware then send the old commands for BELL only. Trouble alarm sirens which do not need BELL output should not cause the BELL output on old Slaves to ve turned on
Home Control
  • For home control menu If control key 0 AND control key 1 words are empty then Home control menu is not announced . Before if Control Key 1 is empty then home control menu is not announced
  • For control action keys eg "On" or "Off"removed initial "press.." so that if no actions are programmed menu . will not say "Press, press # for previous menu" so that a control menu can be used for feedback alone with no actions, menu will say "Press # for previous menu:"
Phone Numbers
  • When entering phone numbers on the keypad. NIGHT key inserts a pause of 2 seconds instead of variable pause given by following number Can add more Night keys to increase delays. This does not affect GSM dial out
  • When entering phone numbers on keypad, AWAY key is for '+' IDD prefix for gsm Do NOT use this for other phone types as it is ignored. Eg +65 51234567 will work for SMS phone type but when assigned to a voice phone, will cause 65 51234567 to be dialed without the + so will not reach the number.
Known Bugs
  • If Modules & Settings < Show alarms is disabled,  Door station chime is not heard
  • CMS phone type was allowed to be entered in Phones 3 to 8
  • If LCD sector is not found in Voice Flash,  green led does not blink, no Rs485 commiunications
  • Clear Answering Machine Bypass (Program menu 1,0,0) also clears Call Screening of calls on Keypad 1
  • Scheduled Reminder Messages do not work at the correct time (from 5.173)

Tell me more about this bug:
Fixed Bug from 5.145 UCM Set Counter > 128 did not work, activatred counter 0 to ’27 instead

I have a strange bug that I am trying to isolate and saw the above in the firmware fixes. In my case, counter 128 sometimes does not get updated if it's changed on the CBus side.

What happens is that I have a schedule that switches a couple of lights off at sunrise. One of these lights is counter 128. On the CBus Diagnostic utility I can see the command is being sent from my PAC, the light actually goes off but on the Comfort side the command, CT8000, never comes through. Below is my log output.

Cbus Log:
2010/03/18 05:55:42  Rx : 05133800018B01CF018001884A<CR>
2010/03/18 05:55:42  Rx :  = Local Network, Source Unit 19, Lighting, GA 139 Off; GA 207 Off; GA 128 Off; GA 136 Off

ComfortClient Log:
2010/03/18 05:55:42,Com,CT8B00,Counter139: 0 (Off)
2010/03/18 05:55:43,Com,CTCF00,Counter207: 0 (Off)
2010/03/18 05:55:43,Com,CT8800,Counter136: 0 (Off)

Doing a C?80 reflects the correct state of the counter so it does change, it just doesn't get sent onto the Comfort bus so ComfortClient can pick it up.

That was a bug where the wrong counter response is activated, if counter is 129 say, Counter 1 response would be activated
You dont seem to eb experiencing this bug as your firmware should be updated
Is this counter 128 not being reported all the time?

Is the counter response 128 not being activated? or CT80 is just not reprted?

CT80 is just not reported but it doesn't happen always, that's why it's so difficult to debug. For the next few days I am going to log the Comfigurator Monitor window to see if the response is picked up there. Unfortunately there is no timestamp on the monitor window so it might prove a bit difficult.

I also haven't totally ruled out the ComfortClient as a suspect (unlikely though) but I first want to make sure the CT command is received via the UCM/Cbus.

You could use the Comfort Bus Monitor instead I believe that has a date/time stamp

If you have any more results lets start a new Post to avoid this Firmware release announcement becoming too cluttered
