Fw: Comfort Goes Flash

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yep.

It's a bit of a fiddle tho to update the fimware. When you connect the
flash chip to be upgraded, al RS4 comms are lost and the system goes off
like a spanner.

One thing you can do is pop the chip out but leave it connected to the
UCM05, and you can flash it that way - although it will still moan about
comms failures half way through - but more manageble. But as the chip is
behind an LSM03 (if you have one) there's a bit of hassle.

Also, next version of Comfigurator will prob remove the need to have the
engineer sign on enabled for flash upgrading as you cant enable it when
trying to flash with it in place.

Also, the sunrise/sunset works a treat - but next version of comfigurator
should support a response trigger for these (has to be done manually at
the moment)

We've just got news on a raft of updates across the Comfort Smart Home
Alarm
system.  Most notable of all is the news that Comfort II's CPU is now
based
on Flash technology (from firmware 5.xxx on). This means that new firmware
can be downloaded by Comfigurator, the Comfort software (latest Version
2.2.1).  You'll also need the UCM05, which is the new Flash-based
replacement for the UCM01.  Here's some other news for Comfort users...
