BTW, It is VERY important that you read all update entries. -- Mark Gilmore Omnipotence (ECS home automation software) http://www.usit.com/omnip 423-745-0026 Steve Rauco wrote: > > One other thought: > > Has the method in which ECS handles sound functions changed since 3.3?

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.

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.
