Minder and toolkit

[Forumadmin]

I've asked before and I'll keep on asking. The toolkit must support minder. Why?


Minder is still used on my projects and obviously thousands of others.
Clipsal cannot just make it disappear like a bad dream.
The time to load v2, minder, toolkit is just NOT an option.
The addition of new products and the use of toolkit is now manditory.
Come on guys. Please be reasonable. Its costing me time and my customers money. Lets get it supported and move on.

cheers.

I second this..

I dare CIS to put the following POLL on the CIS forum

"Do you think toolkit should support programming cbus via minder"

:) Yes
:) No
:) Dont care would never program cbus via minder

I've deliberately not posted on the CIS forum with this one, due to the sensitive nature of the situation. I've made a phone call instead. Let’s see what happens.



I just don't think it’s a fair situation to place installers in. The product exists. It should be supported. To withhold its inclusion in the product line up is just simply unjustifiable in light of new products not being supported in V2.



It means simply I have to support 3 programs to use minder with the new product range. It is just ridiculous to suggest that this is an acceptable position to place installers in. I and many, many others have used Minder for years. These sites continue to use new products now hitting the shelves.



My sanity is being tested with this business decision.

After a few posts in the CIS forum stating that the Minder PC-INT will not
be supported in Toolkit, i was very surprised to read the "change list" for
the Toolkit 1.1.5 ( due in the next week or so )


[Unit : PCI] Add support for INT_AXEZ, INT_MIND and INT_CMFT units

I thought this to mean that you are "in business", but not so...

This change means that you can alter its "unit address" but still cannot
use it as a PCI-Interface to program/access a C-Bus network.

The INT_MIND it is referring to is the "Minder Pro /comfort panel".
