  UCMPI to Upgrade or Not
Posted by: wexfordman - 01-02-2021, 03:26 PM - Forum: UCM/Pi - Replies (9)

Hi,  I am/was one of the original beta testers, and have a UCMPI with CM3 with just 4gb of memory. I have the UCMPI running openhab, with the primary aim of inegrating my alarm system and HA devices (velbus priarily) into google assistant. 

Most of my HA logic is done directly within comfort, and has been for years, is very very stable, and rarely if ever requires changes etc, so i am pretty happy, in fact I would almost insist that most of the HA logic is kept within comfort purely because it is so reliable and stable. 

So, the UCM PI for me, is an interface to google assistant and priro to this, I was running Openhab on a seperate RPI to integrate velbus togoogle assistant, but migrated all of this over to the UCMPI to get rid of hardware and consoldiate everything. 

I still retain another RPI with the community edition of alphawerks as this had been providing google assistant interface of comfort (alarms, sensors etc), but has now started to play up a bit, and overall its a very complex setup just to link in alarm status, and sensors for comfort to google assistant. 

Anyway, over the christmas period, Ive been tinkering, and trying to get my UCMPI running Openhab to expose comfort to Google Assistant, but have failed miserably. 

My first obstacle was upgrading to openhab3, which I have managed to do, after finding out through the guys on the slack forum, that I was low on disk space, 4Gb is quite tight.
I now have issues with node red, which has failed, and have been trying to re-install it, but think I am running in to disk space issues again. 

So, after the above rant, I suppose my question is, do I need to upgrade my disk space, purchase a cm3+ and migrate to that before looking to add and fix my issues ? 

When really, the UCMPI to me was a method of integrating comfort to google asisstant , it hasnt acheived that for me (and I admit, this is mostly down to my own lack of knowledge and time to delve into the system), so is this the best route for me ? 

Are there other options that people see to integrate comfort to home assistant, perhaps I go for a basic RPI install of Home Assistant ?
All I really want to do is remove smartthings and Alphawerk Community edition from my setup.
I think the UCMPI is great, and well done to Matt and Alphawerk, but while I work in a technical field, and would be reasonably good at getting a grip on things, the learning curve and time required to get it working is just too steep for me at the moment, and that is the main reason the UCMPI hasnt delivered for me.

  Vocab Upgrade Failure
Posted by: daniedb - 12-29-2020, 09:33 AM - Forum: Vocabulary Issues - Replies (13)

I picked a problem with my Vocabulary (voice) on my keypad. The keypad is not picking up the text file (according to the error received on the keypad). Then I tried to do a Vocab Upgrade. After the indicator goes to 0%, it almost immediately displays an error Vocab Errors on the screen (using Comfigurator V3.13.6.0).
Not sure what else I can do to fix this scenario? The rest of the Comfort system seems to work fine.
Any suggestions?

  Disabling a sensor
Posted by: broughamg - 12-27-2020, 01:56 PM - Forum: Responses and Actions - Replies (2)

I needed to temporarily disable a zone/input as I have a problem with the sensor. I can\'t find anything in the manual or on the forum but have concluded that you can use the DigitalNC/DigitalNO zone types to do this. The steps I took where

Make sure you have saved the current configuration
To temporarily disable a circuit change \'Zone Type\' in Zones/Inputs to DigitalNC [30]/DigitalNO [31] - to reflect the sensor type NO/NC
Write this to a new configuration file - I used an extension of int for intermediate
Then Transfer/Write (PC -> Comfort)Alarm circuit to test
When the sensor issue is resolved then the old configuration should be restored

  Printing the event log
Posted by: broughamg - 12-24-2020, 12:55 PM - Forum: Comfigurator - Replies (4)

I am running V3.13.6.0 on Win10 and have tried to print to PDF using the installed windows driver. Win10 use the PORTPROMPT: destination/port which should lead to the file dialog being opened so you can add the file name.
I\'ve tried this with other apps and it works fine but in Comfigurator it just goes back to the event log

I received a new thread message notification email yesterday evening (first time for a while) but it was in Italian!  I\'ve just checked my profile and I\'m down as having English as a preference and my location being United Kingdom.  Anyone else seen this?

  UCM 7.141 to 7.227
Posted by: slychiu - 12-11-2020, 04:54 AM - Forum: UCM Firmware - Replies (5)

UCM 7.141
Bugs

  1. If ERR red LED remains on after reset or power on, it means the wifi submodule has been detected. If this occurs when USB or eth03 submodule is inserted in CM9001 or UCM, the ucm will not communicate. If tis happens power off and ON the UCN by removing and inserting the 4 way cable to the UCM. Similarly if wifi is inserted in the UCM baseboard the ERR red LED should be on. If it i not, then power off an on the UCM in the same way



Changes
  •   Implemented wifi01 NTP update time at 00:10 hours or 10 minutes after each hour if not updated on the same day
  •   \"SB\" strobe proc232_strobe command
  •   Fixed BUG - report_counter counter value was corrupted so Comfort Increment Counter, Decreent Counterr actions  did not return correct value in saveuservalue
  •   If UCM is doing firmware upgrade by UCM programming cable,  suppress mesages Cs01 or Cs02  which may interfere with upgrading firmware

  Firmware 7.183 have many bugs
Posted by: mario.jr - 12-08-2020, 07:23 PM - Forum: Comfort Firmware - Replies (14)

Hello. I install the 7.183 firmware in my Comfort II Ultra. I have KP04 keyboards. The LEDs do not light up on the keyboards. When I put the day mode, through the application I see that it is in day mode but on the keyboards it continues as if it were in OFF mode. LEDs do not light up. Keyboards do not indicate. I have had to go back to the 7.153 firm although the zones in alert mode do not work well with it.
I hope they review it.
Thank you.

  Comfigurator for use with C1
Posted by: Home - 12-08-2020, 01:38 PM - Forum: Comfigurator 3.x Old Versions (Archive) - Replies (1)

We service and maintain a number of older comfort installations that are pre 7.xxx updateable
We have found that Comfigurator 3.12.16 is the last useable version on older C1 and 5.xxx 6.xxx installations (later versions cause all sort of corruptions).
Unfortunately we are unable to install 2 versions of comfigurator at once.Would it be possible to alter this so that we can run 3.12.16 at the same time as the most current version.
Would save us quite some time and would be useful for any one with older versions.
