Be aware that by issuing BACnet commands, you are bypassing both the internal Desigo Optic point priority array as well as the normal BACnet connector architecture. The command is issued directly to the connected point and BACnet device; but essentially, the local point will only see the end result coming back through the connRef and the associated bacnetCur tag. The BACnet command being issued does not display in the local priority array.
