RE: Now Comfort new install was Alarm Failure

Title: RE: [ukha_d]Now Comfort new install was Alarm F

        I also use Comfort, ACE and Homevision all together - and AWI + CWI  if that helps - I have also written my own software for the Comfort UCM.

        Programming Comfort takes a bit of getting used t - much easier t think in terms of Macros and Instruction than Responses and Actions - just doing that makes it a lot clearer. Whilst it isn't intuitive it is very flexible and powerful (frighteningly so).

        There is a lot of overlap between HV and Comfort in terms of the functions each can provide but you will soon find that they compliment each other really well - and most tasks divide themselves quite clearly and logically  as to where they should be coded. My own view is to try and keep Comfort as security based as possible and make use of the i/o features,voice and keypads if you require them for control purposes.
