Hi,How can I remotely tell if my siren is on or off?  Preferably in the iOS App?Thanks,Clinton. 

Hi,
I had a Comfort II system installed in my new home end of 2011 which provides security as well as a few other things such as interfacing with KNX.

Hi Chiu
Sorry to bother.
In the past, i played with voiceproc to make the italian vocabulary.
Is in your plans, to implement a way to record custom audio files for zone names and other things, directly in the configurator software?
Here in Italy, for example, many security panels allow to do that via keypad’s mic or via tts.
This would be useful.
Thanks.

Hello  
I want replace my x10 devices with Shelly devices: 
https://shelly.cloud/ 
For control this devices, I need only that Comfort sent the following web commands:  
 http://192.168.1.244/relay/0?turn=on                       http://192.168.1.238/relay/0?turn=off

See attached picture  with my comfort hardware configuration. 
So what hardware  /and software I need  to do  that?  
UCM/ETH3 is enough  ? 
My idea it\'s not use UCM/PI.

I\'m stuck. I have a large Z wave network with a comfort alarm chosen because of its Z Wave capability and a Fibaro HC2. The system has 49 devices and 19 scenes many of which run to over 100 lines of LUA code. I have communication between Comfort and HC2 based on Comfort counters. One counter 16 I set to a certain value from a \"device\" or rather a dimmer device object in HC2, which various \"responses\" in Comfort  take as instructions to arm or disarm (with necessary 99 over 254 scaling.)The other way I used another counter 15 to be set by comfort to various values to indicate the alarm state (day, night etc.). I set another device object in HC2 to poll the virtual device associated with the counter and I know the alarm state. This is used for example to detect the number of days the house is alarmed (and empty) and after 2 days reduce the heating and ventilation.
For operational purposes e.g. after commanding an \"arm\" event in Comfort we do not assume it is set. We take the Comfort alarm state counter 15 which is being polled by HC2 to tell us the alarm status (because it might be \"failed to arm\"). This works well and from our HC2 phone app we can check if the house is armed and if not force it and see the status coming back saying it has worked. This can sometimes be required because alarm setting is usually caused by the garage door (final exit door) closing as we drive away and we cannot hear the external siren give a beep.
To get reasonable response the polling on counter 15 is set to every 20 seconds. My Zwave network is large and the house is large so many commands take multiple hops  with 5 or 6,  3 hop routes. Commands can take a second or more to complete across the network after route discovery.I am coming to realise that this is near practical capacity for a single Z Wave system and there is a distinct need to reduce network activity. (I have tackled this within the HC2 by ensuring we don\'t issue commands when we know the device is in the right state and, if we do send a command over the network, we wait about 10 seconds before sending another. This certainly helps.) All the native HC2 devices are direct push and pull with no polling. (The HC2 controller as device 1 is associated with each remote device so it is directly updated with state changes.) 
However when I look at the total network traffic well over half of it is the 20 second polling of the Comfort alarm. From Z Wave 7.061 I should be able to get the Counter 15 \"alarm state\" to directly update the device object in HC2 when it changes. Thus I dramatically reduce the network traffic. But I can\'t.
Counter 15 is set up in a (Comfort) virtual device pointing to a dimmer object in HC2 However although I can set a response on the counter change I cannot specify the network object to where it should direct the update. It happens by coincidence to be object 15 in the Z Wave network This is because Device ID 15 is in the Z Wave mapping table as a \"green\" virtual device  and not a Routing slave. I cant change it to the latter in configurator. I can\'t set up a new pairing with HC2 except by the virtual device route because of course there is no Physical device 15.
I\'m also having trouble persuading the Comfort board to Learn any new devices in the network. It is stuck at the time it was added as id 14 a static controller. I can get configurator to the point in \"Learn\" where it is waiting for transfer but not sure which buttons to press in the HC2 interface. Do you happen to know. Is it just the add static controller function again. I have tried it, but to no avail!
Can you help?

Refer to this topic for Keypad Communication Errors  

http://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=5277&forum_id=105

The following messages may be seen on the Keypad LCD due to Bus or ID problems:. 


\"No Bus Communications\" 
This means that the Keypad is not receiving Mesages on the RS485 Bus. This should be due the wiring from the keypad to the Comfort controller being wrongly connected, particularly the KA/KB wires.


\"ID Not Polled\" 
This means the RS485 Bus is connected but the  Keypad ID is not polled. Press F9 to check what is the Keypad ID. Make sure the Keypad IDs are consecutive and have no missing IDs. Right Click on the Modules Tab and Do a Scan for All Modules in Comfigurator to detect all the modules in the Bus.


\"ID Conflict Detected\" 
This may be due to a duplicate Keypad ID in the system, or it may have the same causes as \"ID Not Polled\".  This may also be caused by a faulty wiring from the keypad KA/KB to the Controller.  


\"RS485 Communications Failure Keypad # X\"
Keypad IDs should be consecutive eg if there are 6 Keypads, they should have IDs running fro 1 to 6 with no missing IDs. Missing IDs will cause \"RS485 Communications Failure\" Message

Note:
Most problems are caused by wiring. A good test is to remove the keypad from its mounting, unplug the Terminal Blocks, and connect the Keypad directly to the Comfort controller by a short cable. If the problem does not occur then the issue is the wiring. 


Most problems are caused by wiring. Everybody insists the wiring is correct, but in the end, it is always the wiring! Dont forget to check the Terminal blocks as the contact may bot be good or not tightened over the conducting oart of the wire

Hi.

I am having trouble setting up my Comfort 2Z Ultra. I have firmware version 7.153. I don\'t have a more updated version because I have problems with the KP04 keyboards when I update, because it does not give indications through them through the keyboards.

The problem is that I have configured the zones in Alert mode and despite this, as soon as one of these zones is activated it creates an immediate alarm, so I cannot use this function and I have many false alarms.

Is there a report on this? Any solution?
Thank you.

Hi,
I have set my front porch light to on when triggered by a Passive Motion Detector, between 7pm and 7am. It has been working all this while till today, it is always on though the PIR is not triggered.
Is there a way to reset this light? I have tried to shut down the mains for 5 minutes, didn\'t work.
Thanks, much appreciated.
