    There appears to be a bug in the C-Bus Calculator for the Homesafe panel.

    These are the steps I used:-
    (1) Entered a number of Input and Output units.
    (2) Clicked the "System" tab and selected "Homesafe Security Panel 16 zones with C-Bus 5400/16CB".
    (3) Clicked the "Selected Units" tab. All units, including the Homesafe Panel appeared in the list.
    (4) Saved the project and closed the program.
    (5) Started the Calculator again and opened the project. A warning dialog box displayed the following message "Unknown unit Cat. No. 5400/16CB ignored".
    (6) Checked the "Selected Units" tab. The Homesafe was not in the list.

    I have repeated the steps several times. The result is the same each time.

    The Calculator was downloaded recently and the file name was "Calculator_2_3_0_Setup.zip" but within the program under Help/About the program is listed as "Version 2.2.0 (Build 2) Data Version 1.0.0"

    Looks like the calculator is choking on catalog numbers that contain a "/" slash character.. just 2 of them.. MinderPro and Homesafe.. will resolve it in the next Toolkit/Calculator release..

    Me too... and more.

    G'day Leigh and Duncan,
    I have exactly the same problem with the Homesafe /16CB.

    I have one more, though... pardon me if I'm not seeing it (them) but I can't seem to find the 4 and 8 channel 'P' series (no PSU) DIN rail dimmers and relay units in the list.
    Specifically: L5504D2AP, L5504RVFP and L5508D1AP.

    I've looked at all units as well as each group to no avail :eek: .
    (I even got my wife to search! :rolleyes: )

    Thanks,
    Peter

    I have updated most of the non power supply output units in the C-Bus Calculator cbusunit.dat file.
    now you can replace your file with this and fix the bug

    enjoy it...........
