Would it be possible to integrate Comfort weekly timers to Comfort client?
It would be great if coustumer could be able to change the timers over the ComfortCLient.

Hi Tan,
Do you mean Time Programs, ie like you can access in Wizcomfort?
Have thought about it in the past but nobody has asked for up to now.
Once I have the next release with plugin support then I\'ll look at, either to build into ComfortClient directly or via a plugin as both options are possible.

Yes I mean Time Programs. I have time programs for controling my heating.
I change the Programs twice a year and it would be cofortable if I could do that from Client not from Comfigurator. Then also my costumers could change the Time Programs, they dont need to use Comfigurator.

Hi Tan,
Ok I\'ll add support.
A couple of things to note:
1. One of my prime directives with comfortclient is that it does not step into functional areas covered by comfigurator.
2. Second l will never write to the cclx file; that\'s reserved for Correct software to do.
Even so this is a bit of a grey area of configuration versus operation.
If I do then I would read the current settings from comfort using a TP query, allow modification and then write back to comfort. I wouldn\'t change in the cclx file because of above design goals and this if you were to download the cclx configuration to comfort again those changes would be lost.
Do people think that is OK as a design approach?

That\'s OK if the Time Programs are different in cclx file. cclx file is updated only at the beginning and if costumer is happy with the seoftware, then programmer does not have to do the upload again. So its OK.

Yes I believe will be very useful to check the client weekly timers

Sure, no problem, I\'ve started adding into the current code so you\'ll have in the next release.

Guys
Here\'s a taster screenshot from the next ComfortClient release (which hopefully isnt too far away) that might interest you.
How it works: It reads live settings from Comfort (if logged on of course), overlays the TP and Response name from CCLX file (as these arent stored on Comfort) for better info, allows you to change settings and writes back changed entries on \"OK Button\". \"Cancel Button\" skips writing back as you\'d expect.

Hi Tan121,
Have you tried the new ComfortClient version yet to see if it fixes your Time Program enhancement request?
