The new beta version of Comfigurator, 2.9.12 is now available for download here
Bugs fixes- Saved IR Codes in Responses were incorrect
- Sunrise/Sunset City saved file always to Algiers
- Transfer System Information from UCM firmware < 5.160 caused exception, hence all transfer read and write using old UCM firmware caused exception
New Features- Support for USB in Options > Connections for new UCM/USB
- Control Menu - Menu items can be dragged and dropped, and also supports Copy/Cut/Paste
- Support for new UCM/Zwave
Known Bugs- Counter References in Control Menu feedback not updated when Counter name is changed
- If condition causing branch causes error when the number of bytes is > 127. This affects If conditions where the number of actions within the IF loop are too large
The new version is almost ready for release. It is fully functional except for the known bugs

Get attached when clicking on OPTIONS in 2.9.12.
Is this file missed from the installer?

Also in 2.9.12
Under Sensor Responses section the "Show References" features is not working correctly.
(a) It's not showing my use of the sensor response as a feedback item in the control menu.
(b) It doesnt highlight in blue but I assume that's a result of (a).

You got this just by clicking on options without selecting USB, Serial or Ethernet?

Failed to Load FTD2XXX.dll
The DLL is supplied but it’s in the USB Drivers\i386 folder under the installation folder. If you copy it to the installation folder the problem should disappear. The DLL shall be included in the installation folder for the next version.

Sorry,
Could you confirm the exact path with which we need to copy the dll file to ?
DOH!!! Sorted, finger trouble, had not copied it to the comfigurator beta folder properly, all done now, thanks!!
Thanks,
Eamon

Regarding our previous discussion ie
".....
Congratulations, You have found a bug in the creation of the action code because of the length of the branch if not Night. The code is asked to branch over too many actions
The workaround is to reduce the branch by breaking up the code into several If Not Night ie
....."
I've found that using the response with the smaller branches as per your edited version works fine when the system calls it as an Hourly Response.
However when I manually call it through Comfigurator either via the EXECUTE on the "Responses" or "Control Menu" areas the system seems to loop. Instead of Announcing once on the keypads (as it does as an Hourly Response) it does it 3 times and the cursor always stays as busy (hourglass or rotating circle in my Vista case) until I exit and re-enter Comfigurator. Control seems to be passsed back to the UI but the cursor still busy!
Why should this be? Bug?
Have attached the response.
Oh I'm on 2.9.12 by the way but otherwise working really cool. I wont move back to 2.2.3 now! 
Regards
Julian

A couple of observations on the Control Menu in 2.9.x:
(1) When "Show Status" is checked, the frequency at which the values are refreshed seems to depend on the feedback type? For "flags" it seems to do every 3 secs, for Counters it seems to only do once and you have to uncheck/check "Show Status" to force a refresh. Is the referesh interval for each type documented anywhere?
(2) Why does "X10Status" not expose the show status checkbox and value. Surely it can be made to show status of the device? Appreciate this is more or an Enhancement request than a bug as I guess it didnt do this in early versions either.
Also any idea when there will be the new UCM firmware to support sensor responses ie s?nn return value which is currently broke?

Show status for counters and sensors, zones, outputs are updated when there is any change to the item monitored. You do not need to refresh because changes are automatically reflected
It is different with flags because Flags changes are not known by the UCM until it queries them, which is why Comfigurator chevcks every few seconds. It is due to the lack of a flag update message in the UCM
X10 status does not have a Show status box because there is no command for the UCm to interrogate this in Comfort. It is also less useful becase most X10 devices do not provide status. Often they are operated by a local button on the x10 module
The UCM 5.178 firmware which fixed the s? bug is available for download from the Upgrades page http://www.cytech.biz/upgrades.html
Remember that you need another UCM to do the upgrade

I'm a little confused by the release note for UCM 5.178 firmware.
Most of it seems to refer to the same description as point (1) on firmware 5.174. No explicit mention of S? fix.
Only difference seems to be the "Hex 0800" fix for Zwave?
Obviously you say the S? fix is in there but what other fixes?

Hi,
Upgraded to 5.178 and the SCS sensors now report correctly. Here's an example (provided for others as I didn't know what response to expect when I first tried) for SCS1 (sensor 8):
> s?08
< s?082A
I first upgraded the UCM into which the SCS was plugged but this didn't make any difference; didnt report back. Next upgraded my UCM05/Eth to 5.178 too and it then did work. Did both UCMs NEED to be upgraded and if not what's the logic? I had assumed the ONLY the one connected to the SCS, but is it the UCM/Eth one only, or BOTH? Confused!
Anyway it works.

The SCS is never connected to any specific UCM even though you physically connect the wires to it
The SCS and UCMs share the KA/KB connections which is an RS485 bus. They are all connected to Comfort itself which is the controller.
The commands from your PC are issued to the UCM which it is connected to, if a serial UCM05, to the RS232 port, if a Ethernet UCM, to the network with the correct IP address and port. It is that UCM which is receiving the s? command and replying with the s?

I've noticed an interesting feature with 2.9.12.
When reading the event log it prompts you for a user code. If you use the Engineer code here then every time you read the event log it adds a "....Sign-in - User # Engineer" entry to the event log. Clear the event log and press the "Read Event log" button to see this in action.
Now this might be correct functionality but you dont get the same outcome if you log in with a User code; here no entry logged in this case.
So inconsistent?

Signing in as Engineer is always logged in the Event Log, regardless of where it is done. It is a more exceptional event than a user login which is not captured

The "Modules" tab in 2.9.12 is confusing me on a couple of fronts and i couldn't find any info in the online help.
(1) For the "UCM's" node I've setup my 3 UCM's and named them etc. This is I assume direct replacement of UCM section under Names in 2.2.3 and works OK. BUT if I do a SCAN I get the following error attached and the cursor shows busy until I exit.
(2) What is the "Keypads" node for as can see no way to enter data in here. I have 2 keypads defined in "Modules & Settings" but nothing shows up. There's no right-click SCAN or ADD buttons so what's this tree node for?
[Update: actually I'll revise (2), if you right-click the UCM section first to get the pop-up menu, then close it and do the same for the KEYPADS section a thin 2-3mm line apperas which i'd assume should be the pop-up menu? If you right-click KEYPADS without clicking the UCM node first then this "line" does not appear!]

The Scan function will require a later firmware version which is to be released soon. This will support the new types of UCms for external interfaces that will be released in future eg UCM/Zwave which is being redesigned, using configuration software which is part of Comfigurator.
The keypads in the modules tab is also for the future to support new kinds of keypads
