Comfort the Intelligent Home System is an integrated Security/Home Automation System with Voicemail (http://www.cytech.biz) with extensive interfaces to Lighting and other third party systems, including EIB, Dynalite, Lutron, Rako, Ulti, X10, and Click-on- Comfort can be interfaced to Clipsal’s C-Bus (http://www3.clipsal.com/cis/portal/) using the UCM/CBUS Module. Comfort is a CBUS-enabled partner (http://www.cbus-enabled.com/partners.htm). The UCM/CBUS allows Comfort to control and monitor any Group Address on C-Bus via the CBUS cable alone. Comfort can act as a controller or gateway for the C-Bus system, providing the following benefits to a C-Bus system:
- telecontrol through any telephone inside or outside the premises to control and monitor the status of devices on the C-Bus
- allows control from Comfort’s keypads.
- allows control by Comfort Time Programs.
- allows Comfort’s Webserver Module (CWM) to provide Internet access to control and monitor C-Bus devices.
- allows alarm inputs and alarm conditions to be linked to C-Bus for true integration of alarm and lighting.
- allows C-Bus switches to trigger Comfort Responses, allowing control of non-C-Bus appliances like air-conditioners, X10 devices, home entertainment systems, and linking to all of Comfort’s security and control functions.
- allows C-Bus switches and inputs (e.g. temperature, light sensors) to trigger alarms to dial-out to programmed telephones when preset levels are exceeded.
- The C-Touch touchscreen can be used as a keypad for Comfort, and can display zone and alarm status.
- Acts as a gateway to other systems e.g. Honeywell Smartfit heating controller, X10 Power Line Interface, Comfort Webserver etc.
- functions as a central controller for C-Bus. C-Bus is a distributed system with each device having its own intelligence and able to respond according to its own device type and the way it is programmed. In an intelligent home or office environment, it can be desirable to have a controller which is able to coordinate the functions of all the subsystems including security, lighting, HVAC, and others. Comfort is able to take action based on conditional logic , for example, when the time is between 7 PM and 7 AM and the security system is armed, and when the front door is opened, turn on the hall lights for 3 minutes.
