You are correct

The current product have one predefined connection

But the device may be able to programmed to open diffeernt connections.

This would be a new functionality for the Universal, if the R&D is agree to do it

Admin, your call, it is just a suggestion.

But I think it should be a command available to the UCM/Ethernet as well as the UCM/Universal. This gives Comfort one way control via UCM/Ethernet and possibly 2-way via the UUCM.

Of course that in turn involves new FW for the UCMs & Comfort + a support update for Comfigurator so I appreciate it is not an overnight request.

If you take a step back and look at your logic engine with this type of connectivity you are not far of from having a control system along the lines of ControlFX (Command Fusion), BitwiseControls, AMX etc.

Perhaps you should pole a selection of suggestions in order to prioritise them by need.

Yes that seems a good suggestion. We shall consider if this can be implemented for UCMs

Has any progress been made on this topic. We have IP commands working to Loxone but cannot as yet get loxone talking to comfort.

I think this is certainly the way forward - an update of what is currently available and any examples or user experiances would always be useful.

You can use Univeral UCM + ETHernet submodule to have 2 way communication to 3rd party products like Loxone. This is already available

Gary suggestion is for 1 universal UCM to be able to talk to different devices at the same time which is not available, but it is not necessary for your requirement which is to have 2 way communications with Loxone
