"p" address

I'm telnetting to the cgate server to turn on a light with group address 40:

on rumpus
200-OK: //BITMEAD/254/56/40
402 Operation not supported by: //BITMEAD/254/p/27 (Method on not found)

So the "40" address seems to work, judging by the "OK". But then there is this other wierd message about 254/p/27. I can't seem to see what this relates to.

If I do a dbget on both these addresses:
dbget 254/p/27
342-254/p/27/OID=9b7a8dd0-057c-1028-a7ec-83ef0bcf7e39

I don't understand what all this means.

 

You have called up the paramaters for an 8 gang key input unit in the "RUMPUS (unit address 27) out of the tag\.xml file. This has nothing to do with using C-Gate to control groups in the C-Bus network. Turing groups on/off/ramp etc is very easy. Try something like

Code:

on 254/56/40

I am assuming you have managed to load and start the correct project.

The best thing to do is jump onto the CIS website - downloads section then download and read the C-Gate documentation.
