Interfacing with Homevision and Power Cuts
Mike, I use
these 3 products t gether just as you say - it is really just about
delegating
the various power fail tasks logically & correctly t the appropriate
hardware. I do use a UPS on my main HA PC as I have found most power
outages are very short. You can feedback recovery status from Comfort t HV
(or vv) through the i/o ports. Comfort also has a location t do a Response
based on power restoration - if you need t know which one I'll find it
somewhere. It is not as easily set up as HV's system wide recovery actions
but
as it is a response you can do anything you need t with
perseverence.
Best way t
seamlessly join is the UCM supplemented (if necessary) by a couple of i/o
ports. The UCM allows you t resync Comforts state info t ACE quite
easily.

PS I don't use Sylva boards - n reason I just don't need them. The HV
exp unit currently provides enough i/o for me.
Need
some advice really
Comfort
isn't affected by power cut because of the Battery
Homevision prides itself on recovering after a power
cut
So what
is the best way t seamlessly join these two t
gether?
I'm
thinking of using Sylva boards t interface the two for important
stuff
And ACE
for general status
I chose
that route because of the PC's tendency to crash
But
have
just realised in a Power out situation the system interface could get
terribly out of step
Has any
one else run into problems with this?
Mike
