Before Setup, [color=\"#ff0000\"]you must ensure that your iPhone is connected to the correct WiFi network ie the same as your UCM/Eth03. Note that by connecting your Comfort system to a WiFi network you are potentially opening up a potential security vulnerability. Ensure that your Wifi network uses the highest level of security which is appropriate. Accessing Comfort from the Internet exposes the system to additional vulnerabilities. [/color]

Enter IP address and Port which allows you to access to Comfort remotely by internet.

Open Cameras With IP Cam Viewer
This is a 3rd party application to access the IP cameras. If you select this option, going to the cameras page will leave the Comfort app and launch the IP cam viewer app. Management of the IP cameras will be by that app, so the IP address and Port will not be used. [color=\"#aa0000\"]The Cytech App does NOT support cameras by itself[/color]
The connecting status on the bottom should show connected if the Internet/LAN button has been selected correctly and the IP address, Port number are correct. If not, it may show Data Error.

The control menu items can be seen as toggle buttons which reflect their state. Pressing the button will toggle the state ie On to off and Off to On
In order to be able to get the app to display like this, the Control menu must be programmed as follows
See http://www.comfortforums.com/forum126/4071.html for instructions to program the Control Menu by Comfigurator
In the Control Menu, the words for action key 0 should be Off and action key 1 should be On.
You must have a feedback type as Flag, Zone, Output or Counter
eg Bedroom Light
Feedback Type = Counter 1
Action Key 0 word = off (not \"light off\")
Action Key 1 word = On (not \"light On\")
save the file and send to your phone again
close the app before tapping on the jrlcclx attachment

To get the On/off icons showing correctly in the app, it is important that the Control menu be configured correctly.
First each Control Key should have feedback assigned
For example Control Group 0 Lights, Control Key 1 is Porch Lights
The Feedback for Porch Light is Output Porch Light
The feedback allows the app to know if the device is on or off.
[color=\"#ff0000\"]Next the action key should be 0 for Off, 1 for ON
NOT the reverse 0 for ON 1 for Off as that will result in the wrong feedback state[/color]
See Instrutions for programming the Control menu at http://www.comfortforums.com/forum126/4071.html
