We are looking at the UCM/Heatmiser interface design and requirements
We would like some feedback on typical Heatmiser systems
Do many people use the wifi Multilink or the NetMonitor (for Rs485)? These are quite expensive. The Multilink allows multiple wifi thermostats to be controlled, otherwise the mobile apps can only control 1 wifi device
the Comfort UCM should be able to communicate with all the RS485 devices directly but it may have to use the Multilink to control more than 1 wifi device
Any installers or users have any insights?

I have a UH1 connected to eight touchscreen V3 thermostats, mix of underfloor and radiators, hardwired via Cat5e. No Multilink or Netmonitor, am awaiting Comfort UCM!

Kind Regards

Hi Chiu,
Can you confirm that the UCM Heatmiser supports Multilink?
I have three wifi Heatmiser thermostats around the place and it would be great if i could get this working with all of them.
Regards
Paul

No, UCM/Heatmiser does not support multilink. That has a different protocol from the wifi heatmisers themselves
But the UCM/Heatmiser should suppport up to 8 wifi heatmisers
Currently we are resolving some problems with the wifi heatmiser

Hi Chiu,
Thanks for that, will the presence of the multi link cause issues with the comfort UCM?
I already have the multi link to allow the three thermostats to appear on my wife's iPhone and she would prefer to use that interface.
Each thermostat still has it's own IP address which is I assume how the UCM connects.
Cheers
Paul

Currently you may not be able to use the iPhone app and UCM/Heatmiser at the same time but we are working on a solution for that

Update
The UCM/Heatmiser firmware 7.038 and above is able to coexist with the Multilink in the same RS485 network

"This UCM/HM is now working well with my Heatmiser PRTHW-TS WiFi RF thermostat model and the UCM/HM/Eth3 plays nicely with the Heatmiser Android App too even though they share a common IP port. Well done to Cytech for integrating nicely.
One thing that would be nice in Comfigurator one day would be a wizard that looks at the HM setup/mappings and can create the necessary control menu settings for you; ie just point at a free root node and it builds the necessary sub nodes and responses etc automatically. Would save some time.
