Thanks. Will your new development continue to support Home Assistant / NodeRED? I ask because I am renovating my house and will be adding a lot of extra zones. So I don\'t want to spend money on extending my Comfort system if I loose those features.

we will support Home assist1nt or simil1r, Probably not node Red as it is not easy to use

Thanks, I will look forward to that. I finally got my CM4 and the adapter card. When I tried it on a separate power supply, it kept crashing during the Raspbian install. Mounting it on the UCM and using the Comfort for power, it installed no problem.
However, the install script on GitHub is completely broken. I have fixed a lot of the bugs, to the point where it completes the install, but Node-RED does not get the Comfort nodes, and it\'s very slow.
Hopefully, some day I will be able to use it!

Hi all,
slightly different slant but related, the alphawerks slack channel looks to have been downgraded to free.
As a consequence anything older than 90 days is no longer visible. This means all the discussions on settings, shared flows, and faqs are not viewable.
Would it be possible to take over this area so it is accessible ?
Even if it is only for a short time in order to extract everything into an archive of information.
Its a shame if it is lost for good, because a lot of information was on there.

Regards,
John.
p.s. My comfort system is still working great, just trying to update my ucm-pi for some extra stuff in node-red.

I suspect that the Slack channel is gone for good at this stage. Some of the content is available on Discord, but it\'s a bit of a desert over there.
I recently tried doing a clean install on a spare UCM/Pi but the script doesn\'t work anymore, so be careful of doing an update as your system may be left non-functional.
I think I\'ve fixed most of the errors in the script, but I need to do a bit more testing.

Thanks.I was looking for my notes on how i installed / backed up the memory last time, which i think were mostly in slack 
I have a feeling there was a restriction on which version of node.js and node-red could be used on the pi. I want to add some new nodes that need a later version of them than i currently have...
It will be a shame if it is frozen in time now :XOr is there a newer / later means of interfacing with the comfort panel I should investigate ?
All the very best.

Leave it with me. My version of the install script installs a newer version of node.js that works with Node-RED 3.1 and talks to the Home Assistant companion integration fine.
You just need to export your flows first. However, this does require you to wipe your CM3 module, so it\'s not for the faint of heart!

Great news! I\'ll be buying one of these. I assume you will post on here when its available 

[Sota]

I\'ve created a new post with the install.sh script attached to make it easier to find.

The software has been developed by Matt, so unfortunately it depends on him. I believe the files are on Github and is openm sopurce so perhaps someone else can take over.

we have plans to do our own new development based on CM4 later this year

Hi Chiu,
Has there been any progress with your development since?
