HV doesn't directly support Comfort but the serial command and interface on
HV is so good it's not hard to link them together.

The sensors trigger regardless of what mode the system is in and you can
run a response or actions on either the on or off state.  The action of the
zone when armed are dependent on the type of zone you have allocated to it
rather than the actions you have on the on or off state.

I don't believe there is a default zone type for this but you could
program
the zone as a switch and then program the logic into the on and off
actions
using a flag to indicate what the last state was.

How do you program it ? Do I need to buy the Comfigurator
software to do this ?

Yes it has a comfort interface based around ACE.  I have ACE myself but
don't use the web interface yet as my UCM serial module is linked directly
into HomeVision.

Ahh.. so I can interface it with HomeVision as well :) I don't have
HomeVision
(yet) but maybe one day..

Yes you can turn on the lights and set a timer going to switch them off
again if there is no movement after a set time period.  You could also add
in a light sensor to only get them to trigger when it's dark.

Can it do all this even when the alarm is not armed. i.e. it can use PIR
and
pressure pads etc to have automated lighting etc ?

No PIR's that have two outputs as far as I know.  Although there is no
problem having multiple PIR's linked up to different zones.  Each zone can
be set up to trigger an alarm in away, home or night mode or can be set to
a switch type.  Only zones that are of the right type are used to trigger
alarms the other can change to their hearts content and issue different
action while the alrm is armed.

Cool. I suppose that's answered the question I just asked above :)

Thanks.
