New Features
- In the Modules Tab, Scan for all modules - keypads, Door Stations, Slaves, SCS/RIOs. This shows the Firmware version and type. This feature requires the following minimum firmware; Comfort 5.154, UCM 5.171, SEM 5.156, KP04 1.010. If any of the modules are not able to support this feature, the firmware version will be reported as 0.00 Note that the UCMs types are not listed in Names, but in the Modules Tab.
- Selective Write can be performed safely. All items which are changed since the last write will be automatically selected, for example, if an Event uses a Response whose number has been changed, then the event will also be selected for Selective write.
- Selective write will automatically reset Comfort when any of the items selected ad written require a Reset, eg Modules and Settings and Tuning Parameters.
- Selective Write will show items which have not been written to Comfort since the last write
- Keypad Volume can be viewed and changed in the Modules Tab. Select the keypad ID on the left pane. Volume (default 50) is shown in Keypad Properties. This is access on the User menu by pressing 7 for Volume.
- For UCM/GSM, the alphanumeric ID consisting of 16 characters replaces the 4 digit\"Pager ID\". Select UCMs in the lft pane, then the UCM ID in the centre pane. \"SMS Alphanumeric ID\" is in the right pane under UCM/GSM Properties. This requires Comfort Firmware 5.177 (not released).
- Infrared Learning Tool version 1.2.3 is included in Tools
- New actions which will be supported by future Comfort firmware 5.177
- Action Categories rearranged so that actions can be more easily found
- The Dynalite Preset code was reduced by 1 when a ccl file created by Comfigurator 2 is converted to Comfigurator 3 cclx. Dynalite Channels are not translated correctly in Action codes. Fade control cannot be changed from 0. For dynalite actions saved by previous versions please check the actions before writing as there may be some differences from the format saved in older files.
- Non-english fonts did not display correctly eg Thai, Chinese
- When a new file has been opened (from template), saving the file does not case the save file dialog to be shown. Use Save As.. to save the file
- When a cclx file was converted from FS31 to FS34 the Control Menu is blank when written to Comfort. All control groups appear as 0
- Scan for UCMs worked only the first time. If you add UCMs and Scan again, the same result as before will be obtained without a new scan being done. Hence save the file and open it again to do a new Scan for UCMs
- Selective Write - If any Responses are renumbered due to changes and a selective Write is done, not all events which reference the affected Responses weree selected for write.
- File System 30 for SPC (this is a special version for Portugal) does not have 8 SCS/RIO Responses.
- The Actions \"If Keypad = 1 to 8\" were not converted correctly to IDs 65 to 72. Similarly Door station IDs 1 to 3 were not converted to 49 to 51
- Conversion of file from a file system to another will cause the Misc Events > Security Mode Response and Away Mode Response be to set to 255 (ie disabled)
- Older versions of Comfigrator <3.13 have a bug when converting a file from one file system to another eg FS31 to 34, that Control Groups are all numbered 0. This will result in Comfigurator not writing the Home Control Menu to Comfort, and you will not be able to hear the Home Control Menu in Comfort. The solution is to edit the cclx file and change the Control Group numbers to sequential numbers 0 to 5 using a text editor. Please upgrade to 3.1.3 as soon as possible to avoid this and other known bugs with the older version
- In certain cases of Reading from Comfort I systems, an Exception may be encountered due to various incompatibilities. In such cases use Comfigurator 2.2.3 (download from here to read the system and save as a cclx file so that you can use Comfigurator 3 in future
- \"Connected as PABX Extension\" flag does not get written to Comfort when Selective Write is used.
- Import Responses may overwrite existing flags asnd counter names
- Configurator 2 files with CMS Account codes blank (0) will cause exception when converted to Comfigurator 3 (.cclx)
- For Sunrise/Sunset Times> Daylight Savings times, if a city is not selected as location, and daylight saving is disabled, writing to Comfort will leave Daylight saving enabled, causing times to be incorrectly advanced by 1 hour. Workaround is always to select a city with the same time zone if Daylight saving is to be enabled.
- When Modules and Settings > Wordlists is changed to a non-English language, the Alarm Types Phrases are not matched to the language untill they are all assigned to the correct phrases in the language, resulting in the incorrect announcement and Display on the LCD of all Alarms
- For UCM/KNX Configurator, always set Number of UCMs to the required number and Selective write to Comfort before doing a full write. The Number of UCMs needs to be set first to allow Comfigurator to detect the presence of a UCM/KNX so that the KNX actions can be written in the correct format. See http://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=1694&forum_id=12 for more information
- RGR02/RGR03 checkbox is not present for Comfort I File Systems
- In Modules and Settings Description on Number of Door stations should be 0-3, Slaves should be 0-3 and SCS/RIo should be 0-15
- Read from Comfort will not populate the Modules Tab. This is a bug from older versions.
- Reading from Comfort without \"Keep Names\" option will show \"Invalid UCM Number\" errors in Responses concerning any UCM/KNX, UCM/Cbus or other external UCMs. However the Responses themselves will be correct even though the configuration does not know about the UCM numbers. Workaround is always to load the cclx file before reading and use the \"Keep names\" option
- In KNX Configurator, Monitor Mode does not work if the UCM number 1 is blank. This happens if a UCM which is not ID1 is used to connect to Comfort to do Monitor mode, but there is no UCM with ID=1 in the system. Workaround is to ensure UCM with ID=1 is always present in the system
- If any letter in a Response Name is changed from Capital to lowercase or vice versa, a Duplicate Name Error results. This is an bug from older versions
- For Phone Numbers to Dial out, CMS Phone Types are valid for Phones 1 and 2 only. Comfigurator allows CMS to be assigned to Phones 3 to 8 but this should be avoided. This is not a new issue, ie it has been this way since Comfigurartor 2, but will be fixed in the next version
- Response Wizard for Cbus Action; if Remote Network Bridges are specified, these cannot be deleted from the action, exceot by deleting the action
- Invalid IFR files in the existing IFR folder may cause Comfigurator to have an Exceotion when the program is run. To workarounf when Comfigurator has an exception when it is started, delete the IFR folder and reinstall Comfigurator
- IR Receive Responses - if assigned to NULL, will call Response 255 if the IR signal is received. To workaround, do not use Response Number 255
