Re: Fw: Comfort plugin



Gareth

You could change the default action assigned to those buttons. The current
action merely initates the checks/arming sequence.. Change it to something
that can trigger an event (I dont yet have a UCM so can only guess here)
maybe trigger an unused output ? - then continue with the action as it was
before i.e. check/arm etc.
