PICED and Security App 208?

I just installed PICED to replace my old Homegate installation. I was under the impression that with PICED 4+ I don't have to 'hack' the system to get security zone information back to CBus.

Previously I used to check Application 1 for all my Zone States, this works well in Homegate, PICED simulator and even the PAC itself. I then tried to change the behaviour to use the new System IO commands but then my project complains about App 208. Does this mean that for Zone States PICED uses App 208?

Here is the help file description:

Security Zone Status
Security zone status

0 = sealed

1 = unsealed

2 = open circuit

3 = short circuit
Integer
No

I reverted back to using the 'hack' method with App 1 to check my zone states and all is well. Am I doing something wrong? All I want to know is, is Zone 1 Sealed or Unsealed - this in turns switches a light on or off.

Sorry, my mistake. I thought it would have been obvious. I used Homegate for it's Logic engine and a central place to store my scenes, now I just have a PAC to replace that.

I'll give Cytech a shout and ask them about the application used.

 

This should have been fixed in V4.5 of PICED. If you are using an older version, do an update to V4.6.1

 

I am using the latest, 4.6.1

 

Can you send your project archive into CIS Tech Support with instructions on how to make the fault appear?

 

Will do, thanks.

 

The strangest thing ever.... As I was busy setting a test to simulate the fault it didn't come up again. The only difference is that I reinstalled my OS and Application last night and everything is working like it should. No more error on App 208 use.

Now I have to change ALL my 'hack' methods to SystemIO - what a mission but probably the right way to do things.
