Older Comfort firmware had a problem with X10 where in certain (rare) circumstances, the X10 signal stopped working, and this appeared to prevent the outputs from working as well
The outputs and X10 operation could only be resumed aftre a RESET of Comfort
This problem was very difficult to indetify as it was very dificult to duplicate. Finally we did manage to identify it with the help of a customer (thanks to Darren Rigg) and this was fixed in Firmware 4.229 released in October 2005

3 ways;
- In Comfigurator, do Transfer > System Info
- By Keypad, go to Engineer Menu, 7,4,3
- Read the label on the U1 IC on the Comfort PCB


if you have Comfort II, you will not have to worry about the X10 lockup problem

I am using Comfort 1

My firmware is 4.209

How would I upgrade? Is there a download or is it a chip change?

Upgrade for Comfort I requires a change in the U1 IC
This is the one with the label "Outside 4.209"
