			<description><![CDATA[My system just reset itself and said something about \"key\" when it did so. I have no idea why this happened and need to look at as a next issue but currently the keypad shows each zones as it becomes active.&nbsp;Initially (after reset) it was calling out each zone (like walk test) but I seem to have resolved that. Now pad just showing each zone as they activate. Any advice on how to turn this off?&nbsp;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have an input connected to a ISM07 submodule that I have configured as <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">RIO Input</span> and have setup on/off responses&nbsp; (SCS/RIO).<br />
<br />
I have a need to use this input as an alarm input, and I cannot physically wire this, so I thought of using one of the alarm inputs as a virtual input.<br />
<br />
What would be the ideal way of doing this?<br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>&nbsp;Change the input from <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">RIO Input</span> to <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Virtual Input</span></span> on the ISM07? Would I still need to flag the alarm input as virtual?</li>
<li>Add actions (Virtual Input on and off) to the existing responses and set the flag of the alarm input as virtual?</li>
</ol>
 <br />
<br />
<br />
Setup:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Comfort Model: CM9001-ULT</li>
<li>Comfort Version 8.005</li>

			<description><![CDATA[Using Comfigurator v 3.13.7.0 to program a recently upgraded system with a CM9001 board, which has the EOL settings programmed, rather than as hardware shunts.<br />
I find that, quite often, Comfigurator loses the Double EOL setting and reverts all zones back to \"No EOL\", which is a problem if I don\'t notice it\'s done this, and upload the configuration, only for the system to erupt with Tamper alerts.<br />
I\'ve not yet worked out what sequence of usage causes this.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I am still running V1 (I know, but it\'s not broken and getting an upgrade in the UK was tricky).&nbsp; I have just used DS Manager to change the IP Address of my Ethernet UCM as I have just changed to FTTP (which, by the way, is very nice!).&nbsp; I did poke most of the buttons on the Ethernet UCM before I got it to talk to DS Manager.<br />
Unfortunately, since then, it seems that contact with the CBUS UCM has been lost - there is no comms between Comfort and CBUS.&nbsp; To try and resolve that I reloaded the latest CCL file (using Comfigurator 2.2.3), with no difference.<br />
I have tried resetting the CBUS UCM and, again, no difference.<br />
So, basically, I am looking for some inspiration on what to try next.<br />
Here\'s hoping!<br />
Thanks,<br />

			<description><![CDATA[We have a property that is split into&nbsp;Partition 0 - Main&nbsp;Partition 1 - Flat 1&nbsp;Partition 2 - Flat 2<br />
Currently each keypad arms and disarms the individual partitions.<br />
I\'m looking for the SIMPLEST way to be able to make this a single arm /disarm from any keypad.<br />
Preferably add a flag so that we can go from single whole house arm to three separate partitions within the program ( rather than having to use a separate program to \'swap\' over).<br />
I think ive dont it in partition events but just dont believe it will work !]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi everybody. I would like to know what happens if a zone configured with Entry Door feature (YES), we change the Inmediate feature by Alert. (in Zone Types)<br />
<br />
I\'ve done some tests and what I\'ve seen is&nbsp; that when you trip this Entry Time zone and entry time ends no alert occurs, even you don\'t trip any other zone, directly the Intruder alarm triggers, despite being an alert zone.<br />
If you change the Entry Door feature to \"NO\" the alert works fine, This is, no Intruder alarm is triggerered until there is no other zone. But if you put the entry door feature, the alarm triggers when the Entrytime ends, despite no other zones triggered.<br />
How can we join an Alert with a Entry Door&nbsp; feature?<br />
Thank you<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
Many thanks for your help previously with my RS485 issue. Issue is now resolved per your advice and Gary Morgan. System working well. I am planing going to Economy 10 electricity tariff.&nbsp; This gives 10 hours of cheaper electricity during the day - there are 3 periods . However the meter is timed with&nbsp; UTC time and does not change with Summer Time changes.<br />
Via MOD BUS TCP interface with the Victron solar battery inverter and charger I want to control when the battery is charged (if not enough solar) so that the Grid charges the battery during the cheaper periods and then discharges during the more expensive time periods.<br />
I have tested the Comfort MODBUS TCP interface with the Victron unit and this works.<br />
The issue is how to manage UTC. I do not want switch off the time synching via ETH03 as this set all my time programs for Heatmiser and DHW etc.<br />
How would you go about setting up time programs in this case?<br />
The Time period below are UTC.<br />
<ol type="1" class="mycode_list"><li>Three off-peak hours in the afternoon (e.g. 1pm Ã¢â¬â 4pm)Two in the evening (e.g. 8pm Ã¢â¬â 10pm)Five overnight (e.g. midnight Ã¢â¬â 5am)</li>
</ol>
