The UCM/ETH03 now supports these new features:
  • Sending of emails to 4 email addresses for 31 Alarm Types. You can now be notified by email in the event of any alarm.
  • Synchronisation of Comfort's Date and Time with an Internet Time Server. Time Programs will always run at the correct time
  • Simultaneous connection to 2 ports so 2 phones, tablets or computers can connect as a time. Previously only 1 connection at a time is allowed.
Minimum Configurations
Some screenshots to show how it works;

Comfort Server Manager
In Comfigurator, the latest version of Comfort Server Manager will be downloaded when you run it from Options> Settings > UCM Interface = Network Local or Internet

NOTE THAT COMFORT SERVER MANAGER CAN ONLY WORK ON  THE SAME NETWORK AS THE UCM/ETH03, NOT FROM INTERNET


Select the IP address on the left (if there are more than  1 UCM/ETH03). The  IP address of the UCM/ETH03 is shown on the right pane on top
The 2 ports each with their own independent idle time-outs are shown below.



This allows 2 different applications to access Comfort, eg iOS and Android apps, ComfortClient However if Comfigurator is connected, it will block the other port so Comfigurator has to be the only application connected to the UCM/Ethernet so that any read/write or firmware upgrading cannot be interrupted.


SNTP  Setting

Check that the local time is correct. Select one of the servers in the NTP Server Pool. These are a list of International NTP servers that provide the local time adjusted for Daylight saving where applicable

The NTP Synchronize Interval is the interval for the updating of time to Comfort. 60 minutes is the recommended interval athough you can set a shorter time for testing.
If the time difference is less than 4 seconds, the Comfort time is updated but  is not recorded in the event log.
"Send Time to Comfort" should be checked if the time should be sent to Comfort.
Leave it unchecked if you do not want to update Comfort Time.
Comfort will correct for any Daylight saving Time adjustments based on the Sunrise/Sunset times settings so it is important to get the setting to the correct location.


Email settings



SMTP Server: enter the address of a SMTP server
Port: 25 or 587

Note that the email authentication by SSL is not supported. Basic authentication by User name and password or No authentication is supported. Hence Gmail and Yahoo email servers are not supported.

Note that you can use free stmp servers for the purpose of sending emails which do not require SSL authentication, for example SMTP2go https://www.smtpcorp.com/verification They have a free plan that is limited to 20 emails per day


User name: eg techsupport for sending of the email. This field has a maximum length of 24 characters
enter the email password for authentication for the STMP server

Email From: the  name to be displayed in the FROM line of the email
Email Subject: what is to be displayed in the SUBJECT line of the email

User1 Name to User4 Name: Enter the user names corresponding to the user numbers in Comfort, each of whom have their own user code. These names will be shown in the emails when the  alarm is related to a user, eg System disarmed by user or system armed by user.


Email addresses: enter up to 4 email addresses to send emails to.
Alarms: check the boxes 1 to 4 for the emails to be sent for each Alarm Type triggered. Each Alarm Type can be sent to any combination of 4 emails

Note that the email addresses are NOT related to the 4 user names

If the email is not received, check the spam folder. Gmail tends to consider automated email senders as spam
