Linking Echoflex Devices with Multiple Radio IDs via Garibaldi Pro
Issue
I am attempting to link an Echoflex device with more than 1 radio ID (e.g. an OWS wall switch sensor) to a controller via Garibaldi Pro. How do I put both IDs in the program?
Explanation of Issue
Each device has 1 ID that it considers the base ID; you only need to put this base ID into the software. All other IDs are sub IDs, which are derived from the base ID using a mathematical formula. The good news is, Garibaldi Pro does this for you! This means it is crucial that you put the base ID in the software as opposed to one of the sub IDs. Failure to do so will result in erroneous values being written to the link table of the controller, meaning the device will not be linked to the desired controllers. In the above example of an OWS, the base ID is the switch's ID, not the sensor's.
