1. In Comfigurator version 3.8.7 in both user and engineer mode, the real time updating of the zones/inputs stops most likely because of a bug. I recommend putting something flashing on the screen to show when comfigurator has communication with Comfort. This is particularly useful for remote connections through the internet.

This is probably because the UCM/ETH has timed out and not because of a bug . There is an idle time out for UCM/ETH02 and UCM/ETH03 which can be set in the DS manager or CS manager. Set to 0 to disable timeout. You can see if it has timed out by looking at the Log in  button.

3. Why should comfigurator show all possible numbers of zones/inputs, outputs and SCS/RIO. I suggest making possible to hide inputs and outputs as well as SCS/RIO inputs and outputs of unconnected hardware and display the connected hardware inputs with their corresponding input/output number. This will avoid mistakes to new users and would make the following possible.

Configurator Engiineer Mode has to show all unused zones  otherwise it would not be possible to prgram unused zones. In User Mode, only programmed zones are shown

Another request would be to have another column whereby users can enter the name they want dispayed. This is useful for non English vocabularies where the zone displayed in English are grammatically incorrect and totally meanigless sometimes. I propose something similar to GSM4. I also propose non English support again something similar to GSM4.
The user can enter the text they want on the Name field  on each zone. This name will be displayed in the Comfort apps
However keypad display has to use the words which are announced due to the inherent design


3. Another useful thing would be to exploit the larger screen and have on the same screen Zones/ inputs, outputs and SCS/RIO input/output status so as not having to switch screens.
I doubt the screen is big enough to show all 96 inputs and 96 outputs, 120 RIO inputs and 120 RIO outputs

. I would find it useful if there was a user enabled short tone when any zone/input is triggered or even better for user selected zones.That may be irritating especially for motion sensors

You can program individual zones to announce their name, which should be more useful'



Thanks to everyone for their suggestions
