Apologies in advance if this has been discussed previously or is obvious but I am struggling with how i might make this work.

Scenario I have is that i have a Single CBUS Network that covers my house, garden and outbuildings.

Outbuildings have a Cytech version of minder Pro and the house has another one, both alarm panels have a CBUS SIM in them so they can manipulate CBUS groups in response to alarm conditions.

CBUS Sims are set to seperate Group Addresses

Is it possible to use the Wiser security widget to control two different alarm panels?

If so how do i set it up?

Thanks in advance

Property

All 4 are 3 phase.

how do I do this and not use up more that 4 energy monitors up in wiser

1) put all 3 phase cables through the same CT (CT not big enough)

2) 4 measurement modules with 3 CT per unit one CT on each phase ?
Can you add 3 together so only uses 1 energy measure channel in wiser ?

I seem to be able to be able to set the default interface correctly and open the network (the returned data from the network named the project as "null")

First issue is that the number of units on the network is coming back as 0, is that correct? or should it read 2? I have a relay and dimmer unit connected to the wiser.

When I open "null", should the interface type be CNI or Wiser? it seems to open the connection with either option, I use the address of the wiser in the boxes with port 10001

when I have establised a connection, the units tab appears but if I scan the network or ping the network I get an error. It says that it is unable to connect to the network.

Any help would be brilliant!

thanks,

The only option i can currently see it to have the Clipsal c bus app for home and a third party for work which is a bit of a long way around.

The task is to move the screen up and down by small steps. There is some code for this:

Code:

once (GetCBusState("Floor5", "Lighting", "step_up") = ON) then

begin

  SetCBusLevel("Floor5", "Lighting", "motor", 100%, 0);

  delay(1);

  SetCBusLevel("Floor5", "Lighting", "motor", 2%, 0);

  SetCBusState("Floor5", "Lighting", "step_up", OFF);

end;



once (GetCBusState("Floor5", "Lighting", "step_down") = ON) then

begin

  SetCBusLevel("Floor5", "Lighting", "motor", 0%, 0);

  delay(1);

  SetCBusLevel("Floor5", "Lighting", "motor", 2%, 0);

  SetCBusState("Floor5", "Lighting", "step_down", OFF);

end;

There is a problem with this piece of code. The two same consecutive commands are not working. I can do only rise and following down, but not two rises one after another. Two downs also don't work. Is this because of the bad code, or there are some features in shutter relay operation? Is there any suggestions? ]]> C-Bus Wired and other Hardware p0rt3r http://www.cbusforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7533
