    You have the right syntax, but you are reading the Action Selector label for "variant" 1.

    The syntax is :

    Code:
    GetStringIBSystemIO("Label Action Selector Text", <network>, <app>, <Group>, <Level/Action Selector>, <variant>, <string variable>);

    Hi Dave,

    What you are seeing is the default value.. which means that PICED/Homegate/S+ or whatever you are using was not online when the label was originally broadcast on the network.

    The logic function does not actually extract the information from the network.. it relies on seeing the label broadcast and saving it, just like a DLT doesn't get labelled if it's not connected to the network when the label is broadcast from Toolkit.

    HTH,

    Nick

    Assumed Piced reading if from the Toolkit database, cause it shows the DLT from the top of tree for a group when not online ie "B1 Air Con Control"
    It does not matter now as found I count write to the database which is what I was looking for, thought I use Darrens code to do it.

    Onto Plan B

    tks

    You must have had PICED connected to C-Bus when that label was transmitted from ToolKit.

    Just have Piced running on PC, not online.
    Would it make a difference if Toolkit running at same time ??

    so "label group text" = "tagname" from database and
    "tagvalue" comes off the wire
