OOPS - sorry correction - there is a C-Bus UCM available for Comfort .
Comfort is essentially a security focussed controller - an alarm system
with
integrated HA features like X10 support and some I/O.  The UCM is very
similar in concept to the C-Bus gateway I mentioned before. There is a
macro
language within Comfort although it is a little more awkward to use than
say
HomeVisions. This is really due to the fact that it is a very compact
language. There is now a software application called Comfigurator available
though which has made things more palatable.
