Notation of group addresses

The group addresses in the CUBEVISIONMODULE X can either be displayed in 2-digit notation ([XX/XXXX]) or 3-digit notation ([XX/X/XXX]). The CUBEVISIONMODULE X always converts the group addresses into 3-digit display, no matter in which way they were entered.

Note: Virtual group addresses (16... 31) can be used internally to control interoperations between the apps. The virtual group addresses are not sent to the bus.

Automatic Smart Home App update

As of firmware 1.4.0, you no longer need to check the BAB APPMARKET for updates for installed apps. In the App Manager you can set if you want to search for updates automatically or if you want to trigger the search manually.
Open the App Manager and click on the button with the gear symbol.

Activate the automatic Smart Home App updates here. If the automatic app updates is deactivated, click on the Check for updates button to start a manual search.

If the automatic app update is activated, you can optionally use the Indicator Address (EIS 1) to display in a visualization, for example, that an app update is present (if a 0 is sent to the group address, no update is present, if a 1 is sent, one or more updates are present).

Smart Home App - Update configuration

If the Automatic App Update is activated, the CUBEVISIONMODULE X checks for updates once a day. The time of the search depends on the last boot process of the CUBEVISIONMODULE X and is determined automatically. The time cannot be set. If the automatic search is activated, the CUBEVISIONMODULE X searches for updates directly after activation.

If an update is available for an installed Smart Home App, this is displayed in the App Manager.

Release notes for the update

Start the update with "Update now". The update will now be performed. Wait until the update is finished.

Message "Successful update"

The update of the app does not overwrite existing group addresses. Individual group addresses can be given If deleted, if the function to which the group address belonged is omitted. New functions must be assigned a new group address.

After the update, check the configuration of the Smart Home App.
