I lost my router, so am rebuilding my network. Got everything by the ucmPi working, I tried getting my IP using SW4 (REQ) and  https://uhai.alphawerk.co.uk/finder.html, but it seems the site is down.

Matt has not been contactable lately. Can you get the IP address another way ie through the router?

When I run a trace on the UCM, I see a lot of these

 netserver:Fri Feb 23 2024 16:05:18 GMT+0200 (South Africa Standard Time):1:Cannot ping, not connected

And the ucm is trying to connect to none existing IPs (around 5 of them) on another subnet as well. 


Any ideas what these might be?

Is that ucm/pi or normal ucm? UCM/Pi could be trying to connect to the alphawrks server? I cannot see the target IP

This is ucmPi.
The trace which I shared above does not show the IPs.

Maybe it is trying to connect to the alphawerks server which is down?

I don't think the latest version of the UCM_Pi OS software requires access to the alphawerk.co.uk domain. The GitHub page is still available at https://github.com/alphawerk/ucmpi_os

Chiu, is this project now dead? There is no activity on the Discord channel, and Matt has not posted for the last year or so.

The software has been developed by Matt, so unfortunately it depends on him. I believe the files are on Github and is openm sopurce so perhaps someone else can take over.

we have plans to do our own new development based on CM4 later this year

Thanks. Will your new development continue to support Home Assistant / NodeRED? I ask because I am renovating my house and will be adding a lot of extra zones. So I don't want to spend money on extending my Comfort system if I loose those features.

Thanks, I will look forward to that. I finally got my CM4 and the adapter card. When I tried it on a separate power supply, it kept crashing during the Raspbian install. Mounting it on the UCM and using the Comfort for power, it installed no problem.
However, the install script on GitHub is completely broken. I have fixed a lot of the bugs, to the point where it completes the install, but Node-RED does not get the Comfort nodes, and it's very slow.
Hopefully, some day I will be able to use it!

Hi all,
slightly different slant but related, the alphawerks slack channel looks to have been downgraded to free.
As a consequence anything older than 90 days is no longer visible. This means all the discussions on settings, shared flows, and faqs are not viewable.
Would it be possible to take over this area so it is accessible ?
Even if it is only for a short time in order to extract everything into an archive of information.
Its a shame if it is lost for good, because a lot of information was on there.

Regards,
John.
p.s. My comfort system is still working great, just trying to update my ucm-pi for some extra stuff in node-red.

I suspect that the Slack channel is gone for good at this stage. Some of the content is available on Discord, but it's a bit of a desert over there.
I recently tried doing a clean install on a spare UCM/Pi but the script doesn't work anymore, so be careful of doing an update as your system may be left non-functional.
I think I've fixed most of the errors in the script, but I need to do a bit more testing.

Thanks.I was looking for my notes on how i installed / backed up the memory last time, which i think were mostly in slack :(
I have a feeling there was a restriction on which version of node.js and node-red could be used on the pi. I want to add some new nodes that need a later version of them than i currently have...
It will be a shame if it is frozen in time now :XOr is there a newer / later means of interfacing with the comfort panel I should investigate ?
All the very best.

Leave it with me. My version of the install script installs a newer version of node.js that works with Node-RED 3.1 and talks to the Home Assistant companion integration fine.
You just need to export your flows first. However, this does require you to wipe your CM3 module, so it's not for the faint of heart!

I've created a new post with the install.sh script attached to make it easier to find.

Hi Chiu,
Has there been any progress with your development since?
