Hi there,
Firstly thankyou for such a fab PI !
I've been using your previous PLC-BUS interface for many years without any problems so was really pleased to see you had done a new one enabling me to upgrade to HS3.
I've managed to get everything up and running really quickly, however have one strange issue that I can't get fixed.
I use a number of 4 scene micro modules in my system. They monitor contacts on other equipment to enable me to get inputs from other systems. As an example, I have a relay across my doorbell, which momentarily switches the input on the module sending an "OFF" signal to the HS system. I used to use the old HS2 setup to simply look for any "OFF" status sent to that address and would then trigger an event.
So I figured it would work exactly the same with the new system, but am having an issue. I thought that as I only wanted to receive the status and store it (not send the device any status command) that I could select the module as either 1) PLCBUS Appliance Module Status or 2) PLCBUS Scene. If I do this however, the event does not trigger as it doesn't seem to see the OFF command that the module is sending.
If I set the module to PLCBUS Appliance module, the event triggers perfectly. Unfortunately the issue that I get is that after the signal is received from the Micro Scene Module, it sets the HS3 status to "OFF", I believe it then sends the command back to the module - which then cannot not send an ACK in response. I then get a log error:
Too long wait for Ack response to command: (255) A14 Off Data1:0 Data2:0 Tx:False AckReq:True Ack:False IDreq:False Id:False3PhReq:False RiscOK:False PlcBusOK:False
I would be so grateful if you could tell me where I'm going wrong and would really appreciate any suggestions or advice you could give.
Cheers,
Jay
