The thought process behind this was as follows ......

Elderly relatives can use iButton as opposed to trying to enter code on small keypad (KP06 in my case)

Each user can have their own iButton to identify themselves (same as individual codes)

Can use magnetic iButton reader as place to keep keys. User presents iButton to reader (disarms alarm). When they leave the house, grab keys from reader and Comfort starts arming

Finally for the Geeks. 2-factor authentication. User needs passcode (something you know) and present iButton to reader (something you have) to disarm alarm.

From what I understand, the iButton presents a unique string of data (that could be stored the same way Comfort stores IR codes?) in order to identify itself
