Thanks ident.

Would there be any plans in the future to map to external devices rather than comfort outputs?

If there is a lot of demand it may be done, but we  are concerned about having less complications for the heating appplication

You can run a looping response(s)  that does a list like:

If Output Output001 = 0 Then
! Velbus command Off etc.
Else
! Velbus command On etc.
End If
!
If Output Output002 = 0 Then
! Velbus command Off etc.
Else
! Velbus command On etc.
End If
! etc.
Do ThisResponse After 2 Seconds Using Timer01

Not pretty but works.

I understand what you mean, but from the perspective of existing users, or even users who plan to deploy comfort, most will use some level of protocol be it velbus crus zwave etc, so it\'s perhaps a bit of a departure to have a feature like heat control to only work with comfort relays.

If as part of the heating control setup you first identified and named your heating channels (be it a comfort output, or other trchonigy)?


Anyway, sorry to go on about it, was really excited when I heard this feature was comming, bit gutted I can\'t use it with my setup.

let us look at it again and see what can be done

Hi!
I\'d like to try and implement this feature in one of our potential projects. The thing not entirely clear to me is: how is the room temperature measured?

Is it by TCS01?

If so, I can\'t find any documentation about it. Where do I connect it? How does it look? Where do I mount it? What mounting accessories do I need? Does it need to be powered? etc...

I understand that any SCS also has built-in temperature measurement and this is a good solution if the client is aesthetically satisfied with it. But I wish to explore the alternative.

- ident - 04-17-2014

Temperature can be measured by  TCS. TCS is a PCB only without any housing so you will have to use your own housing. The TCS is the SCS PCB without any of the buttons etc. We are developing a more complete temperature sensing module

You can also use any external device with temperature measurement with an interface to Comfort eg Heatmiser,C-Bus, KNX, Velbus, Zwave. These external devices send temperature to a Comfort Sensor
The Comfort Thermostat function takes its temperature from one of the sensors, so any of the above devices  can  be used


- agenor - 04-17-2014

Yes, that\'s the way we already did it (using KNX temperature stations). However, this pushes the whole system into the next price grade.

Hi Ident/slychui
Is there any chance of an update on this issue? Regards
