One other thought: Has the method in which ECS handles sound functions changed since 3.3? I do have an acknowledgement tone on most items.

From the icons in groups, everything seems to work fine, but using a PLC remote it has a definite lag, sometimes up to 5-10 seconds.

For example, my living room lights are set to go to either 96% or 0%. Sometimes a click will stop somewhere in between. It's sporadic and doesn't seem to be dependent on the wrong percentage it stops on. > > > > > > > > Need details (what is your cfg doing upon a click ?) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > One last thing, which I can probably fix in the code. I have an exit delay on my security. After announcing it, ECS pauses 15 seconds then arms the alarm system. After the upgrade, the announcement comes AFTER the pause.
