    I see lots of config change messages from both my light sensors. Below is an output from c-gate. Any ideas why these messages are logged? All I am doing with the one light sensor is setting a garden light group and polling both with homegate for a monitor indicator. Oh, the Logic reads these as well, every 240s.

    On these units (and also the old temperature sensor), the light level (or temperature) was never available via a broadcast on C-Bus. The monitor components in the logic engine or touchscreen actually have to use C-Bus configuration messages to extract the light level (or temperature) readings from the units.

    I think C-Gate is actually just displaying the fact that there are configuration messages occurring when the logic reads the light level, not that the configuration has actually changed.

    What I'll do is to shutdown HomeGate but keep C-Gate running and see what happens.

    I checked a bit further and this is what I found. If I start only CGate then no messages are received. If I start HomeGate with a default empty template (aura), these messages start appearing. It doesn't matter which project I choose, the messages keep appearing.
