+--- Thread: Running wiz Comfort on 2 or more PC at any one time. (/thread-2335.html)
- Home - 07-09-2011
Have recently spent far longer than i wanted or need to finding out that a Wiz comfort program had been \'locked\' by hte fact that another device was utilising the Ethernet UCM...
I presume that only ONE PC can access wiz comfort at any one time.
Is there a way of providing more information on the status of the Ethernet UCM - so for example if a wiz comfort user tries to log on an the Ehternet UCM is already in use... perhaps a window with this info on .......

Ingo did some research/testing a while back and discovered that Tibbo has a control bus where you can test if a UCM connection is already in use through some simple code.
By knowing this, programs could gracefully decide not to connect if another program was already connected. I plan to build that into the ComfortClient shortly. Maybe WizComfort and Comfigurator etc should also go that route too so we can all play nicely alongside eachother.
I still hope that a future EthXX module will allow more than 1 simultaneous session too so a UCM can support more simultatneous devices.

Yes we are looking at managing the connections and letting other applications know that the connection is busy for the iPhone app and others
However allowing multiple connections is not advisable. If a second connection comes in, them it can get access to Comfort without having to log in

Take a look it works well.
Can we pleas have this feature in wiz comfort - when a connection is made and the Ethernet UCM is occupied it currently just says \"cannot connect to UCM\"
