Good day,
We are a home automation company based in London and we are controlling our client´s Comfort alarm system using an AMX system to
communicate over its IP interface.
We have 2-way comunication. We can request and recieving messages and can
set or unset the system (after entering the axcess code) unfortunatly we
cannot cancel alarms only turn the whole lot on or off.
We have the documentation with the serial communication commands, but it
does not appear to be any command to clear an alarm and remove it from the
Comfort system.
Whenever we arm the system, it starts giving all the alarms that were
triggered at any point, such all the smoke alarms, so when we arm the
system, we can know who has been smoking at any room.
Using the cpmfort system's keypad alarms can be canceled...but we have
been unable to do so using the protocol.
Thanks in advance for your help
Kind regards
Cristina Lopez

Comfort and AMX or Crestron is used together in many installations
The M! command can be used to disarm as well as arm Comfort
M! - Security Mode Change
PC: M!sscccccc Command to change Security Mode
UCM: OK
UCM: MDss mode change report
ss is the security mode
00 = Security Off
01 = Away Mode
02 = Night Mode
03 = Day Mode
04 = Vacation Mode
M!00cccccc will disarm to Security Off where cccccc is a valid 4 to 6 digit user code
If you use a fixed code in the command, if the user changes the code, then the command wil not work. Hence it is best to have a screen where the user enters his code before disarming
You can also use the KD command which simulates keypad keys
KD - Keypad Key Entry
PC: KDKK
This enters a digit just like a keypad. The command allows the UCM to be a keypad to sign in and access the voice menus or short cut function keys. The speaker and microphone will act like the ones on a keypad.
kk key values: 00 to 09, 0A = "F" key 0B = *, 0C = #, , 0D = "AWAY", 0E = "NIGHT", 0F = "DAY
F key = 0ah
# key = och
* key = 0bh
Enterkey = 1ah /* like # key but will not go into menu, disarm only */
Endkey = 1bh /* END key to exit keypad menu */
You can show a keypad on the touchscreen and let the user enter his code to disarm the system. Use the Enter key 1B hex to enter the code, as this prevents the system from going into the user menu like a normal keypad
