RE: HomeVision and Comfort users

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Like the other replies, I do the same - All the security related sensors
connect to Comfort (this is a must for security reasons and the fact that
Comfort supports double end of line resistors as a security measure - to
detect line cut etc). I then have a Comfort serial UCM talking directly to
one of the serial ports on HV Pro - HV then listens to the serial messages
coming from Comfort (everything gets reported - PIR activation, alarm
state, user sign in etc). So then HV knows exactly what is going on.

I also use ACE linked to a second serial port on Comfort - this is then
used for further functionality that HV Pro doesn't provide such as text to
speech (for house announcements such as security state, garage door opening
etc).

I connected Comfort to HV Pro directly as this was the most reliable way to
do it. You could just go via ACE I think, but this is subject to the
reliability of your PC/Server etc.

Paul.

Hi
for you guys who are using Homevision and Comfort.
How have you integrated them.
Do you connect all your sensors and control to one or the other or
split them between the two. If you split them what do you attach to
what.
IE as Comfort can use the same PIR's for Alarm and control, do you
connect them all to comfort and then just use homevision's powerful
control to talk through comfort.

Thanks
Mark
