There is no action to change Comfort's date and time
What is it that you want to do? Comfort II date and time is very accurate already.
Do you want tp cjange to another time?

Yes, I use it for one reason:

After AC power recovered from AC power failed and battery flated, I can use the response to update Comfort date & time automatically.  Because I may away from my house for many months and the main AC power is unstable in my area.

This should not be a problem if you have a good backup battery as this should provide backup power for many hours depending on the load. If the whole system draws 300 mA on idle state, then a good 7AH  battery may last for more than 20 hours
If you dont have a backup battery then dial in and sign in to change date and time. A Response to change time is not the right way as the response would not know what time and date to change to

Yes, you are right.  The response to change date & time is not proper.

But using dial in to change date & time is not the best choice.  I am thinking of using PC software to change it automatically.  The PC and the software can restart automatically and change the date & time automatically.  So, If I am away from my house for many months (no phone line at all), I don't have to worry about the vacation mode is running or not.

Then you will need to run software which can communicate with Comfort and send the correct date and time using the DT command
We dont have such a software
