    The new toolkit doesn't seem to like the old temp sensors.
    I hope I have attached two Jpgs
    The new scan and the old database entry from pre 1 12 0
    As you can see the group info is strange
    at least in the old toolkit you could see which cbus address the led was attached to
    I don't know if this matters in the big picture
    but Group 2 has no relevance to the unit. but i suspect they refer to a hex address - ish
    the temp sensor at 149 Mezzte
    RadMez is 119, 77hex / HL1 is 077, 4Dhex
    Would there be a way of entering a dummy serial number for these old units??

    For info
    "Do Not Use Group 000" is what i call address 000 !!

    Further to this I am unable to add an old temp sensor or an old Light level sensor using Toolkit 1.12.0
    It finds it ok then if you readdress the unit it changes it to the required address but then says it is a duplicate
    I have tried this on the two new units I have
    I will try rolling back toolkit and see what happens

    I put Toolkit 1.11.12 on another machine and installed both OK.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    This has been recorded in our bug tracking software and will be addressed shortly. (#23604)

    I suspect this issue is caused by the old units not having a serial numbers, so this error should not affect newer units.

    Cheers
    Andrew

    Thanks Andrew
    Would it be possible to add our own serial number for these old units?
    that way the entries in the database would match up
    and a bunch of 000000000000000 never looks good!
    Mike

    Hi Mike, I'm not sure what you are asking for. The oldest C-Bus units do not have serial numbers in them and the software is designed to match them in the database using other identifying information. Making up serial numbers for them in the database would not assist this process in any way.

    I think Mike is referring to the fact that whilst those old devices don't support a serial number in firmware they did actually have one on the product and the packaging. Whilst this won't assist how Toolkit configures the network it would be handy for documenting the install and physically identifying the units.
