I use the Homeseer plugin for logging and tracking of everything in Comfort and CBUS. The PJC plugin is very flakey and is constantly crashing. I use HS2.
If there was a decent Comfort plugin, and it only came for HS3, I\'d upgrade Homeseer for sure.
So +++1 from me, please. Take my money.
An HS3 plugin would be great.
However, as there doesn\'t seem to be one on the horizon I took a different approach. I added z-wave to both HS3 and Comfort and now communicate that way.

Same thing happend with me also.

Hello and first of all, scuse me for my bad english.
I am using Hs2 from many years.Now, hs2 is not longer support because homeseer launch hs3 and they don\'t sell the pjc plugin not more.
I have formatted my old pc and required new password for new pc, but homeseer don\'t support more, so, i have to find a new way to communicate with pc. Homeseer hs2 can read and write serial commands on com port without any plugin.I can read and send easily string text from homeseer without any plugins and this can be done easili with Hs3 too.
So, we only can be able to decode input commands from Comfort in order to monitor the status of the devices, and weonly can be able to send a serial command to Comfort in order to arm, disarm and do something.....
For example:
A door is open, Comfort send a serial command text string to COM port like \"Door 1 open\". Homeseer receive text string.
Homeseer send a text string \"Arm Away mode\" to Com port, Comfort receive this and goes in \"Away mode\".
Is it possible to do in an \"easy way\"?
Download the Comfort serial interface protocol from
https://www.cytech.biz/serial_interface_protocol.html
This is a list of all commands to and from the UCM which is understood by Comfort. This is used by Comfigurator, ComfottClient and othewr software to commmu8nicate with Comfort
You need either ETH03 or Rs232 or RS485 depending on what HS3 interface is
Having had an issue with my z-wave system I decided to have a look at some sort of direct communication between Comfort and Homeseer again.
I have an ETH03 and HomeSeer HS3.
I should say here I am not a programmer but am happy to try a few things.
In Homeseer there is a plugin that can both send and receive commands over IP. \"drhsIpPlugIn\"
It seems to me that it may be possible to use this for the communication.
To begin with I am hoping to monitor comfort inputs in Homeseer. That would give me the opportunity to run events in Homeseer when an input changes in Comfort.
Am I right in thinking that when an input in Comfort changes state that is effectively transmitted via ETH03?
Most events in comfort will result in messages via ETH03for example, Input 8 On and off will send \"IP0801\" and \"IP0800\" respectively
The Comfort Serial protocol details all the messages and commands
Thanks for the reply. Are the input numbers hexdecimal? I\'m testing with input 10.
What format does comfort send in? The plugin I am experimenting has the choices;URL-EncodedRaw TextBinaryC Escaped
The numbers are in hexadecimalInput 10 On is IP0A01Input 10 off is IP0A00
