    I hope there is someone that still remembers the old Minder/Comfort integration into the C-Bus ecosystem.

    When testing the C-GateWeb solution by @dougrathbone I found a strange C-Gate message sent when the Comfort panel is disarmed using an incorrect PIN code. From the documentation I expected the following C-Gate message where the "2" indicates incorrect PIN.

    #s# # security password_entry_status //MIDSTRM/254/208 2 #sourceunit=18 OID=

    What I actually get is the below. Both Correct PIN and Incorrect PIN messages at the same time.

    #s# # security password_entry_status //MIDSTRM/254/208 1 #sourceunit=18 OID=
    #s# # security password_entry_status //MIDSTRM/254/208 2 #sourceunit=18 OID=


    When disarming using the correct PIN I receive the correct message as per below.

    #s# # security password_entry_status //MIDSTRM/254/208 1 #sourceunit=18 OID=

    Does anyone know where the source of this strange message originates from? Is it something that the Comfort/Cbus interface sends and C-Gate just interprets it as-is, or is it something C-Gate generates incorrectly when an incorrect PIN is entered. I stand to be corrected, the PIN in question is entered from the C-Bus side via C-Gate sending the individual digits as far as I understand.
