Hi Matt
yes alarm set/status working fine ,for responses i have some devices that just require firing from a button and don\'t need a off response as in a switch, could this be an option?
sounds like you have a plan re mirroring.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike
In terms of the response device, you could simply set the off response to be a non operational response or would you rather a device which didn\'t have an off function. I could make the off function optional and have a checkbox to disable it if that would be more appropriate.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt
Thanks for the suggestions
One use for triggering a response is to set my heating set point override using comfort to smartfit heating UCM, so its a one press function and doesn\'t need the off setting.If it was optional it would be tidier and less confusing i guess for other users at home.
I suppose it would be useful to just have a status device for counters which don\'t need control i.e. i have a counter which just displays the room temperature or one that displays the heating demand as (1-100)

Quote:A. Raspberry Pi Bundle with SD Card so it is plug and play
B. SD Card to buy which is pre-configured
C. SD Card image to download and install myself (will cut out much of the initial command line install)
D. WeMo Emulation for native Alexa / Google Home support
E. Additional comfort functions to be exposed [please indicate]
A & B will have to be priced to account for my time dedicated to your individual build. There is no charge (from me at least) for C -> E.
If Cytech or a third party distributor are in a position to make this more accessible, I would be more than happy to have a conversation with them 
I think A and B would be useful for the less technically inclined eg Installers
We will talk with Matt to further this

Hi Matt, slychui,
Been in a few long drives for work the last few days, so my mind had been wandering :-)
In particular I was wandering about comfort and google home, echoe etc, and interfacing all of these to comfort.
It seems to me that Matt\'s solution is the way it should go, and appears to be there, but perhaps a focus should be on getting comfort ifttt compliant using Matt\'s solution, rather than specificity via smart things. If I understand the workings corrxtly, making comfort ifttt compliant ofns up comfort to all of these interfaces, including hue, and snartthingd etc?
It also opens up a world of other possibilities such as geofencing, interfacing to thousands of other devices, push notifications etc etc

Hi Wexfordman
Already ahead of you; the code I have published now already supports limited IFTTT via the maker service direct from the RPi. I have some experience of IFTTT and use it to connect non ST devices to my hub. It\'s a great solution for joining the spaghetti of IoT but offers little in the way of logic. So, for example it would be easy to have it turn on an output if a device breached a geofence (so turn on outside light when you got close to home) but doesn\'t string events together, allow for conditional logic (at least not well), or allow for more complex routines.
In terms of next steps, Slychui and I have been exchanging emails and whilst it is early days I am hopeful we can collaborate on a more user friendly, robust and comprehensive solution.
Thanks,
Matt

This is a fascinating and (to me) extremely exciting development.
I\'d like to know a bit more about how the whole ecosystem integrates with, and utilises SONOS - I believe Matt mentioned early on having SONOS in the mix too...
Is anyone doing very much to leverage SONOS integration? there\'s the very obvious possibilities like automatically stopping playback on all zones when away mode is set for example, and voice control of SONOS via Alexa (although I believe that\'s coming soon directly from SONOS anyway).
But what about things like - pause playback when the doorbell is pressed, make an announcement, then resume playback...
what else?...

I got an apple watch the other day (it was heavily subsidised by my critical illness policy) - and as SmartThings supports the apple watch, I can arm and unset the alarm from my wrist
That is so cool!I *have* to get me some of this kit and start playing...

Hi Paul
Glad to see you\'re interested; In terms of Sonos, SmartThings can control them - and therefore routines can be built which can do something like you suggest - I\'m actually also thinking about how Sonos could be used to play announcements on KeyPads - let me ponder on that some more....
Thanks,
Matt

Definitely interested Matt, see my comments that I made about a month ago re SONOS (and Echo) integration here: http://www.comfortforums.com/view_post.p...t_id=21148
Uncannily close to what you\'re doing... I only wish I\'d discovered this thread back then...
I have added a Smarthings Hub and a R-PI to my Christmas list (Echo was already on there), and come January, when I believe I will have a couple of weeks off work, I will definitely get some testing going on with this...
Cheers..
