As everyone knows, there are Upgrade Packages for Comfort I to Comfort II available, see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum25/1403.html
Which of the old Comfort modules can still be used with Comfort II? We try to give a complete list of modules here
In general most modules which are connected to the Comfort RS485 Bus, ie keypads, door stations, UCMs, SCS, RIO are compatible with some limitations- Keypads (KP01, KP02) - These can still be used, except with the Door Station Intercom. KP01 and KP02 will not be able to talk to Door stationsThey are perfectly good for arming, disarming, voice menu, recording and listening to messages. At least 1 new KP03 or KP04 is recommended
- Door Stations - The performance as Intercom with telephones and keypads wil not be good. It is recommended to change to DP03, DS01 or DS02 (DS01 and DS01 require DM02 Door station Interface module which is included in the Upgrade package 2)
- RGR01, RGR02, RGR03 - Not compatible. RGR04-LF is needed. The Upgrade package 2 includes RGR04-LF
- LEM01, LEM02, LEM03 - Compatible, can be used with Comfort II. (However LEMs for Comfort II cannot be used with Comfort I)
- UCM01, UCM/IR, UCX01, UCM/Ethernet - Compatible. However the upload/download speed is much slower compared with UCM05. Also UCM01 cannot be used to upgrade firmware of other Comfort Flash based modules. UCM05 is part of Upgrade packages 1 and 2
- Other UCMs eg CBus, EIB, Smartfit - compatible. However the firmware of these UCMs cannot be upgraded like the newer Comfort II modules
- Slaves SEM01, SEM02, SEP01, SEP02 - Compatible depending on firmware. Please refer to the Slave Compatibility document Note that firmware upgrades for old SEM to the last released version are available. Slave firmware version 5.95 and older are not compatible with Comfort II.
- RIO01, SCS01 - Compatible
- IRD01 - Compatible
- IRM01, IR01W, IR02W, IRR01 - compatible
- CSM03-PCB Not compatible due to voltage difference
- CSM03-CT - Compatible
- Security Sensors, Sirens, strobes, panic buttons, battery - compatible
- TWS01, TWS02 - Compatible
- LSM01 - no longer needed due to Sunrise/sunset feature
