I have HomeVision connected permanently to Comfort and have just finished a CBus install. All CBus interfacing is done via a HomeVision/xAP/CBus gateway.

I now want to turn lights on when various Comfort alarms are reported but wondered what the best RS232 report is to trigger this?

Should I be checking for \"AMnn\" or \"ALnn\" etc and which codes? I want to make sure I don\'t miss the report in odd situations etc.

I\'d like to do something on FIRE and INTRUDER alarms.

Thanks,

Paul.

You have the RS232 Spec from www.cytech.biz Technical Info?

BTW How did the CBUs install go ?

Yes - have an old doc - but wanted to know which message to watch - the fire alarm one says triggered from an action???

CBus is fab - just playing with Kevin Hawkins\' HV/CBus/xAP gateway - very good Smile Have the 12 DLT\'s fully programmed and working - very swish Smile

Ben\'s a good lad!

Use the AL message for fire alarm triggered from a zone

The AM for Fire alarm is for the keypad short cut keys F+NIGHT only
