Are there any plans in the pipeline for a simple connection from Comfort to Google Home or Alexa? It is the number one question I get asked by customers.

I have installed quite a few comfort systems and think they are great and so adaptable to almost anything. But it seems to have hit the buffers as far as integration with voice control. I had a go with the Pi board but I just don't have the time to learn the complexity of it.

Even if Comfort's Control Menu could could interface with Google home, it would be a massive step forward.

We are working on a new version of UCM/Pi  with alphawerks which will use Home Assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/ which is an open source platform. Node Red is not easy to use, but Home Assistant should be plug and play (hopefully).

see the demo on Home asssistant here  https://demo.home-assistant.io/#/lovelace/0

Hi Chui

Has this been progressed at all? It would seem the obvious thing to do for all longstanding customers and integrators with clients. Now that interoperable standards have emerged. An update to UCM/Pi which exposes Comfort registers, sensors etc. to an interoperable system such as Matter.

Apologies, we have been too busy migrating the Comfort to the new ARM processor and have not been able to spend time on this yet
