    Can someone please help me work out if I have something strange going on. When I scan my network, while Toolkit is looking for duplicate units, this appears on the C-Gate console:

    There are no warnings or messages that appear in Toolkit when it does the scan. Unit 1 is a CNI, Unit 3 is a PCU. Units 40,41,42 are 8ch dimmers.
    All five devices are working perfectly, and there are no other devices on my network that aren't accounted for.

    This is cgate telling us that there are multiple replies coming from those unit addresses.

    This is suggestive of a unit address conflict (unravel needed) OR that there may be poor communications.

    It might be worthwhile doing a basic electrical check of the cbus wiring.

    Alternatively, it it all seems to work OK, just leave it alone and ignore the messages :D

    I don't think its due to poor communications on the network, as it is always these same devices. Surely if it was a physical network issue, the messages would be different each time.

    I checked that other thread, and will check firmware versions. Is that still an issue with C-Gate v2.6.1?

    My C-Bus network is working okay, so I was happy to leave it alone. But I'm currently having issues with CQC dropping connection to CBus, so I'm digging trying to identify a cause.
