Chaps,
I\'d just like to thank you for sharing the Comfigurator beta\'s with us mere mortals in the end user community and I for one have had fun playing with them in my own project. And as with any posting that happens on this forum you guys are so responsive in your replys too which is really refreshing.
I think you\'ve done a great job at v2.9.13 and it\'s a great tool now. I personally switched off 2.2.3 use when 2.9.12 came along and this one is even better!
Well done. You should give yourselves big pats on the back!

I\'m probably going to kick myself when you reply but can you tell me what \"Show Alarms\" flag does as there\'s currently no help text for this setting in Comfigurator nor could I find anything in the manuals.

Sorry, I see now that when you open Response 42 in Response Wizard some of the called Responses are changed, it becomes
If Counter Heat_Bedroom = 0 Then
X10 Heat_Bedroom On
Set Heat_Bedroom = 1
Do Light_Ensuite_Of
Do After 3600 Seconds Using Heat_Bed
Else
Do Light_Drssing_On
End If
Is that what you are seeing?

One thing I noticed the other day in 2.9.13 was if you go into OPTIONS and change the checkboxes for which items you want to see on the toolbar, these settings dont show until you restart Comfigurator. Toggling the toolbar off/on doesn\'t refresh the list and there\'s no REFRESH (UI) button on the menu as you get in some other UI\'s. Is this as designed functionality?
Also (at least for this item) if you select UCM checkbox it doesn\'t show on the toolbar at all even after a restart.
All minor issues I know but thought I\'d feedback anyway.

You can read about how Comfort implements this at
https://www.cytech.biz/Default.aspx?cmd=sQ0OYE9X66w%2b0P%2bAcFsmAI3j73Rwtfrj&fileid=95&dcid=8&pageindex=
In my personal opinion as an alarm user, this is a bad standard, it does not make your home safer but causes much inconvenience and I would never have it in my home, For example when the system is armed you are not allowed to display any information on the keypad eg beeps or leds, until you sign in, not even if the system is armed or not. If there is any alarm you cannot display any information or any alarm sound or any information about the zone or alarm or even that there is an alarm until you sign in.
It serves insurance companies and police response rather than the user
I suggest you keep Show alarms on, as you need this information as a user
There is a separate forum at http://www.comfortforums.com/forum52/
I dont believe many other European countries are actively using the standard

Another minor issue I noticed was that if you use the response wizard and add a \"Comment\" (under miscellaneous) then it\'s not saved with the rest of the response definition.

Thanks for the compliments. Users like you are doing a great service by finding these bugs
Note that we are updating these problems in the first post on this topic

Hi Slychiu,
Yes this is what I am seeing, in addition to the fact that when I wrote the response first, I had \"Do heat living on\" instead of \"Do Light Drssing On\" and \"Do HEat Living Off\" instead of \"do light office on\". These seemed to have just changed themselves. I am finding this in neary all the responses I am writing.
Any help appreciated, as it\' causing mayhem :-)
Regards,
Eamon

We can confirm this is happening with your file, but not in a new file that we start, so we will look into it
- slychiu - 02-15-2009
It appears this is a problem when the new Response changes numbers of other Responses
Fix all responses in the EDIT menu as workaround
This should prevent the problem for now
