Looking for some assistance on using a smart implant (Z-Wave) to detect when the comfort’s strobe activates. 
The smart implant is requires a 12V supply constant (Aux 12V, COM). I was hoping to use STR- and !2V to connect to the smart implant, but see that at the panel the STR- is the only terminal connected to the strobe. I assume that the 12V is linked inside the siren box from the SIREN +?

I am also considering connecting the smart implant to one of the OP terminals. Where the OP would activate on strobe activation through responses, but would need more investigating.

Anyone have any experience connecting the the smart implant to the comfort alarm?

Thanks,
Iain

Would like to offer that to a clients with integrated automation system.

Looks like we need Java script files from Cytech though.
Any ideas.

Thank you.

Does anyone know how I can replace the remote control handset and control through Comfort? Ideally I would then operate via C-Bus switches.

I’m stumped with this one so any help would be appreciated.]]>

I currently use HomeSeer software and have a plugin that reads Comfort. I can then program events including Insteon.

I wish to upgrade my version of HomeSeer (2 to3) but can\'t find a plugin that will do the same job.

I am happy to consider a hardware or a software solution!

Cheers.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This driver provides Ethernet control of a Cytech Comfort security system from an RTI processor, via the use of a virtual keypad.  All the usual keypad buttons are provided as driver commands for mapping into RTI, as well a comprehensive list of variables, enabling the installer to create an authentic looking keypad to display via an RTI panel.  Text strings and a series of flags provide the RTI interface with up-to-date feedback, describing the current status of all alarms within the system.  Users will love the convenience of handheld control and monitoring of their alarm system, and will delight in waving goodbye to white plastic, wall-mounted control panels.


The UCM/ETH03 is required to interface to the RTI panel


Quote:We’ll be adding in additional features over the coming months – all feedback welcome

This allows interaction between Comfort and Indigo responses - so for example, Indigo can generate an iMessage when a particular event occurs on Comfort, or with Indigo’s interface with Applescript and MacOS trigger specific playlists in iTunes, or actions on other things it can control via ethernet such as Denon Receivers... 
For those interested, you need the Cynical Network Plug-in for Indigo, configured as follows: 
1) Make a new \'Device\' in Indigo: Type = Cynical Network, Model = TCP Out, Name = Comfort, IP = IP of Comfort on your network, Port 1001, Auto Connect = Check, Line Endings = Carriage Return. 
2) You then need to get Indigo to log in to Comfort. More detail on issues with such log-ins is given here: 
http://www.comfortforums.com/forum1/3653.html
Essentially, each command you send to Comfort has to be proceeded by binary 03 or “/03”
The code to log in is therefore /03liXXXX , where XXXX is your log in PIN number. 
3/ Therefore to log Indigo into Comfort via Ethernet you need to make a new Action in Indigo using Send Text (Cynical Network) of /03liXXXX. Applying this action then logs into Comfort. Make sure that Comfigurator etc. is logged out as the UCM Ethernet only allows one connection. 
4/ Indigo is now listening to the TCP/IP traffic out of Comfort. You can set up specific triggers to listen to the Comfort events using the serial protocol. https://www.cytech.biz/serial_interface_protocol.html  To listen for anything really, security off, or specific zones on or off, Comfort streams of data out. It can be useful to watch this in Comfigurator or using a utility to understand the logic of how the protocol applies. http://www.comfortforums.com/forum1/3653.html
5/ To keep the connection alive, I have applied a regular scheduled login using the Log in action described in 3. Otherwise I have found it can drop. 
6/ Remember when you want to log into Comfort via Comfigurator you need to suspend the Indigo log in. 
Thanks as ever to Cytech support for their help in getting this working.
