Is there any way I can force the dial-outs to stop?  If it is in Night Mode and I'm at home, I have signed in on a keypad and set Security Off but the system still keeps trying to dial-out.

Is there any Action I can execute which will cancel the ongoing dial-out attempts?]]>

I am testing an external relay which I want to trigger specifically on a siren event.

To do so as a catch all, I am using the Siren Output setting within default partition 0 (I\'m not using partitions 1-3) to trigger the relay on an output zone.

1. Please confirm that the Siren Output within the partitions setting is in ADDITION to the regular siren output - ie BOTH will trigger on siren event.

2. So as not to disturb neighbours, I need to do extensive testing without triggering the physical bell box for this scenario. I believe the Bell Out needs to be left to Yes in order to trigger the Siren Output in partitions. What is the best way to disable the siren from sounding in this scenario. Without going into the bell box.

Thanks]]>

Auto arm still announces \"night mode\" on the key pads but with no beeps.Audio disarm is completely silent as expected.
My \"Auto Arm Night from Security Off only\" response looks like this:[code]If SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then  Keypad AllKeypads Broadcast Disable
 Wait 1 Seconds using Timer01
 AutoArm NightMode 
Wait 20 Seconds using Timer01 
Keypad AllKeypads BroadcastEnable 
End If[/code]

Firmware is 8.013
Can anyone help advise how to silence the announcement?]]> I have been following the advice in this thread:

If i connect the cable from Cytech to \"Pc\", i can receive every data, but no data seems to be read from Arduino.Maybe somethink wrong on connection? Or maybe i need to do something i don\'t know?
Thank you very much.

I apologize in advance if my question is answered somewhere on the forum but cannot find any recent posts on this topic.
I understand Comfort can interface with many 4rd party systems such as ZWave, KNX, C-Bus etc., but devices for these systems seem very expensive compared to the zigbee, Tuya Smart type devices currently available.
Does Comfort have a UCM or other capability to interface with such devices? I see that back in 2006 there was some focus on the UCM/Pi but have things moved on since then?
Thanks,Paul

This new wireless solution is bidireccional and has some level of control on the polling of the devices (sensors).One of the \"advantages\" is to be able to spare (extend) battery life of sensors by reducing activity under certain circumstances determined by the state of the interface OcBridge being \"armed\" or \"disarmed\".And this is achieved by command of the input \"IN\" of OcBridge:
[i]The input “IN” is designated for connecting transistor output or the[/i][i]central unit (panel) relay (PICTURE 1). If the “IN” input condition changes[/i][i](Closing/Opening), the whole set of sensors connected to the receiver[/i][i]are set to “passive” mode (except for the sensors ticked as 24 h active),[/i][i]with the initial state restore – the sensors are set to “active”, and the red[/i][i]light is on. In case several groups of sensors are used independently on[/i][i]the central unit, the ocBridge is to be set to the “active” mode even if[/i][i]only one group of central unit is in armed mode. Only when all groups on[/i][i]central unit are deactivated, is possible to set the ocBridge and sensors to[/i][i]“passive”. Use of “passive” mode of the sensors when system disarmed[/i][i]will significantly improve battery life of the sensors.[/i][i]
