    Hi All

    Hope you will be able to help me.

    I have a C-Bus installation with two networks. I used a network bridge to connect the two networks.

    There are 95 blinds(somfy motors) installed in the house. I use two relay channels per motor to control up/down function. for some reason some of my relay channels switch on without sending a command from any other C-Bus product.

    I double checked all C-Bus devices and no double addresse are on the network.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Thank you

    Run toolkit with the logger started and see if you can find the command that turns the realy on. That should tell you which device is the culprit.

    on a side note, you should not be using relays to drive blinds. Has been discussed haere many many times and is potentially bad for the motors.

    The blind controller is a much better solution as it gives you more protection and much better control of the blind (you can open it half way, three quarters etc.) which is not as easy with realys.

    How are you preventing the up and down channel from both being on at the same time?
