Synchronising Remote Networks

[sjfp]

What is the best way to keep schedule plus Synchronised with the remote networks. I have disabled the send message option in the bridges to prevent multiple groups being activated by one group on another network. I have 9 networks consisting of CNI to each Building (four in total) and then bridges within the buildings where required (max two per building). I wont to keep schedule in sync with all networks to enable the user to see what rooms are on/off.
i was thinking of using GetCBusState function but was thinking this may cause a lot of traffic if this run every few seconds
Thanks for any help

What is the best way to keep schedule plus Synchronised with the remote networks.
The ONLY way for Schedule Plus to display the correct state of groups on remote networks is if those messages appear on a network which Schedule Plus is connected to via a PCI or CNI. If you have bridged networks, they will need to use Application Connect or Message Tunnelling to get the messages back to a "local" network.

See C:\Clipsal\Schedule Plus\Manuals\C-Bus Networks.pdf for details.

I have disabled the send message option in the bridges to prevent multiple groups being activated by one group on another network.
The preferred solution here is to not use the same group address for different uses. Use multiple Applications if you run out of group addresses. See the C-Bus Networks document chapter "Using more than 255 group addresses".

This just returns the value from the internal C-Bus model in Schedule Plus. It does not send messages onto C-Bus.

Thanks for the information, i was hoping you would not say that. But in my own mind i knew that i was going to creat new networks to get the information back.
Thanks for the confirmation.
