    Later releases fix this problem. I have 4.06 and the tags work.

    After some research i now know that......

    The auto C-Bus tag import feature only works on Windows 95-98-ME.
    It is a limitation of Homeminder software, not of C-Bus.

    It was fixed externally in "Thinkboxx" version 406 available at the site
    http://www.smartworldcorp.com/

    They now only sell the 406 software off their website, rumour has it that it is approx $250.00 AUD, also they have built-in product activation into the 406 firmware.

    So now you effectively need to buy a new software license for each controller you program.
    But with the impending release of V3 C-Bus Clipsal are going to a new format of XML database that is more reliable, but will not be directly compatible with the Homeminder.

    C-Bus V3 will however have a transfer V2 > V3 and V3 >V2 facility, this is to support some C-Lution products.
