Hi Matt,
Ok, The RPi is up and running. Smartthings is back in action.Where do I copy the CCL file? Into a directory or to the root of the RPi?If I look in comfigurator Zones/Inputs I have 24 entries. Under Names/Outputs I have 8 though I do not believe all those are in use.I dont believe I have any slave modules but I do have 3 UCM\'s.Hope that helps.Cheers
David

Hi David
I\'m working on the instructions at the moment. I think you will need to convert the .ccl you have to a .cclx (xml format). You can do this by downloading the latest version of comfigurator, loading the .ccl and saving it as a .cclx.
If you have 24 and 8 outputs, you probably have a LEM03 which cannot be mixed with SEMs (which should work fine)
I\'ll be back in touch shortly with instructions to set up the RPi and test connectivity to the Comfort system.
A couple of things to think about:
1. The alarm should have a static IP address (this can either be set in the alarm or [and a better solution] is to have it marked as static in your router)
2. The RPi should also have a static address, this is most easily done on the router too.
Finally, both the alarm and RPi need to be on the same subnet, which is very likely to be the case on a home network.
Thanks,
Matt

All good on the static Ip\'s. Thanks

Hi All
OK - deep breath....
I have published what I have done so far to github. Please note, this is a SmartThings release only (although the included test client will demonstrate it does work).
You can read the release notes, download the software and have a play at : https://github.com/mattbrain/Cytech-Comfort
Please let me know how you get on - I have to stress this is an early release, it will undoubtably go through many revisions - if you aren\'t comfortable testing this out - please don\'t download it just yet, however if you are willing to give it a go and report back your findings i will be grateful.
Thanks,
Matt

[size=\"3\"]Within a week of reading this post I now, thanks to the incredible help and support of Matt, have added 40 odd devices to smartthings. Importantly this is not just about Smartthings this development lets Comfort get on with what it is REALLY good at, home security, and let you get on with using mainstream products to integrate.I cant say how impressed I am with this, I strongly recommend others consider integrating with this. [/size][size=\"3\"]Best plug-in ever![/size][size=\"3\"]Thanks again Matt.[/size]

Hi Matt
This is great and all working for me so many thanks for sharing - any thoughts on implementing Comfort responses (for pulsed gate and garage door control) and counters (for C-bus Lighting / smartfit heating) in the future ?
- DavidJ - 10-27-2016
I\'ll second that request. The flash once works for garage doors and gates but the on really messes them up. So I guess a default device as a flash would be excellent.

Hi Guys
Thanks for your feedback, and glad you have both managed to get it working.
Pulsed output (flash once) should be easily doable as a preference in the SmartThings device handler - so you can select on/off, pulsed/off, pulse once/off as the primary action.
Initiating responses should be easily done too - just thinking how it should be done, a separate device per response (or response pair to simulate on/off) or a single device with multiple responses - any thoughts?
Counters are half implemented already and I have been working with David on his C-Bus lighting - watch this space...
Thanks again,
Matt

Thats all great - I was thinking one device one response.
can\'t wait to get my C-bus connected!
thanks

so, just that I understand, your now able to control comfort respones, read counter value etc ? And this can be done via amazon echo ?
If thats correct, then with this, has comfort and your application now effectively created echoe control of pretty much every home control protocol comfort supports ?
