The UCM will allow you to use the CS-Xpres software to programme the panel.
It's also needed for ACE to send and receive info to Comfort.  If you've
got
more of a programmers mind than me and no need for ACE then you could do
without it.

Sounds good.  One of the beauties of the system are its expandability.  You
can add more zones, relays etc later on.

As above you can prob do without these in the meantime Neil.

Now..all you need to do is convince Mike to make the Comfort panel the next
of his daily specials! :-)
