Date issue

[Guest]

Before I could perform your test I had to temporarily downgrade to V2.20 so that the date would be wrong again. Having achieved that, I immediately reupgraded to V2.22.

I then did as you advised. As before, the date on the keypads changed but not on the eDLTs.

I noticed that I didn\'t have the latest firmware for the controller so I upgraded from V7.099 to V7.116. Unfortunately, that made no difference either.

To summarise where we are:

V2.20 I can manually change the date on both Comfort and the eDLTs to be correct but with SNTP enabled this will jump a day ahead on the next auto date/time update.

V2.22 I can manually change the date on Comfort only. Having SNTP enabled or disabled makes no difference.

I agree with you that it seems odd that a firmware update on the UCM/ETH03 should have this effect but I can only report what I am observing. Under V2.22, there is some interaction between the UCM and the controller which is preventing time updates on the eDLTs which wasn\'t the case with V2.20 or earlier.

Craig,
I don\'t have an eDLT but did some testing on my Cbus system and couldn\'t find anything wrong with the format of the Date/Time updates received from Comfort. Please elaborate on your statement below:

Code:

V2.20 I can manually change the date on Comfort only. Having SNTP enabled or disabled makes no difference.

Do you mean that you can\'t change time on the eDLT at all? Strange. Remember also that the Eth03 only provides updates to Comfort, it\'s the function of the UCM/Cbus2 that propagates the update to Cbus if the checkbox is selected. If you uncheck this checkbox then time updates from Comfort will not be sent to Cbus at all.

There was an error in my previous post. It should have read:

V2.20 I can manually change the date on both Comfort and the eDLTs to be correct but with SNTP enabled this will jump a day ahead on the next auto date/time update.

V2.22 I can manually change the date on Comfort only. Having SNTP enabled or disabled makes no difference.

I\'ve now edited it accordingly.

No, Ingo, I cannot change the time at all on the eDLTs with V2.22 whereas I can with V2.20. I am aware that the Eth03 only updates Comfort which then passes the info to Cbus via the UCM/CBus2. That\'s what makes this so odd. You wouldn\'t expect a firmware update to the Eth03 to be able to cause this but the fact remains that I only have this problem with V2.22 (if I revert to V2.20 the problem goes away but then I habe the problem of the date being a day out again!) which suggests there is a curious interaction between the new firmware and Comfort which prevents it passing the time to the UCM/Cbus2.

And yes, the checkbox you refer to is ticked, as has been verified by Cytech who looked at my cclx. Without that, it wouldn\'t work under V2.20 either.

It is very curious. I did a packet capture on the Cbus network and both 2.20 and 2.22 have the same format so it shouldn\'t affect it unless I missed something. Perhaps another user with an eDLT can do some testing on their side as well. Just to make sure, check that your UCM/Cbus2 is on the latest firmware and also the eDLT. I know there is a way to upgrade it but don\'t know the specifics.

PS. Cbus firmware 7.068 is the latest, not 7.054 what is shown in Comfigurator.

Ingo, I think I will have difficulty upgrading the UCM/Cbus2 firmware. It is currently 7.054 and I believe that cannot be upgraded with Comfigurator. Although, I have the Eth03 so in theory I could use the programming cable methgod, they are in separate panels in different parts of the house.

[Ingo]

Nope, it would be quite easy. Just download the file and use Comfigurator to upgrade From Local file.

I checked your cclx file, it  is Cbus2 7.054 firmware, and it can be upgraded without ucm firmware cable. Only ucms firmware 5 need firmware upgrade cable

[Guest]

I just tried and I get a \"product number or type doesn\'t match\" error. I think that\'s because it isn\'t the specific version for Cbus2. Where can I download that from please as Comfigurator will only let me download 7.054 as it thinks that is the latest?

Sorry, I\'ve found the Cbus2 firmware now and I\'m installing it.
