New firmware V05 for Siemens Dali devices.

[McKajVah]

Just installed new firmware v05 on my Siemens Twin Plus Dali Gateway. There is also a new ETS application (v0.4) to go along with it.

There is now a new "status window" much like other Dali devices from other manufacturers. Still no device type 8...

How did the update work for you? It's the second time I try the Siemens tool to update the DALI thing, and I get tons of errors every time and it rarely completes. Trying it on a separate KNX dedicated KNX line works a bit better...

Did you use IP or USB ?

Hi.

I used IP and actually had some problems from what I can remember. I had a lot of traffic on the KNX bus at the time and had to disconnect every thing else (made a temporary knx bus connection only between Power supply -> IP-router -> Dali gateway). Then the update went through without any problems.

I have an old Siemens IP-gateway (first generation) and this also be my problem. I also think there is a compability mode you can select in the update program.

And a last thing... Remember to backup your dali setup in the Knx dali plug-in. I forgot and had to configure all my 100+ dali devices again.....not fun.
