Comfort programming can be a bit of  an art form.=A0 If it is only the
programming side you are after I sure  we (The comfort user on the group)
can all help you out.=A0 Probably the  easiest way is to do this is to down
load all your settings into CS-Xpress  and forward it out to those willing
to have a look together with a list of  problems and what you are trying to
achieve.

Personally I get  Comfort to broadcast the PIR triggers by House code O1-16
then pick these  up in HomeSeer which is easier and quicker to program.
Obviously you have  to have the zones and response set up correctly in
order
to do  this.

My system is (currently - although not all working :-(

1 Comfort CPU

3 PIR's (Lounge, Hall, Upstairs Landing  area)

Zones ? christ knows !

No doorphones - pig ugly white  thing - I sent it back. They haven't come
up
with anything better  yet....

1 Keypad

X10 stuff ? To be honest, I'd rather it sent  logical codes out so HomeSeer
can pick them up - I can them detect them and  program it easier via that.
But currently it flashes A2-5 on when the alarm  goes off. A4 is one of my
lounge lights =A0- but every time the  back/front door is opened and it's
dark, it keep s turning A4 on....so I  had to change the LD11 itself to
A15.
Drove me bananas that one.

The  UCM is at home - Andrew kindly sent me the wire parts, and I made up
the  lead - the UCM is borrowed tho.

Light sensor yes - is it in the best  place ? One macro comfort has is to
turn on A5 when it's dark and hall  movement. Except is had a life of it
own, and would come on at 10am even  with bright sunshine outside..

IR - now THAT sums everything up. It's  there, but cant be used. They cant
get it working. They don't know how,  have spent too much time (they don't
think it's faulty - just cant program  it) and want to take it off the
invoice ! Andrew reckons they should talk  to him, but .....<sighs>

On a side note - the guy who lent me the  UCM asked a few days later if I'd
use dit - I said no (hadn't made the lead  up) -said it was strange cause a
Comfort system called him the night before  with an alarm message, and he
could login to the system using his own codes  !! So someone he lent it to
must have used his settings on the  prom...

Gareth,

How complex is your  system?
How many PIRs?
How many Zones?
How many doorphones?
How  many Keypads?
How many X10 appliances do you need to control by  Comfort?
Do you still have access to a UCM?
A light sensor?
IR  responses?

I don't think Comfort is THAT difficult to set  up!
