Comfort is a powerful home automation system in its own right. In many ways it should be considered as this first but with a very capable security system onboard. Because of its hardwired and programmed nature it is also very reliable and not suseptable to the usual PC glitches.
The first consideration is that you need a \"RAKO RAV232 Plus\" module to talk to comfort.
If Comfort is only going to provide basic lighting control then it would probably be easier to get CQC to react to Comfort RS232 triggers (It is very easy to issue free form RS232 strings).
As both setup\'s will need programming I guess you need to take a step back and consider the easiest route v\'s long term reliability.
