The UCM/Pi is a host adapter, linking a Raspberry Pi Industrial Compute Module 3/3+ (CM3) or compatible single board computer to the Cytech Comfort range of products. Benefiting from the tight integration with the Comfort system, the CM3 has a direct serial interface to the UCM and includes an optional hardware watchdog. The UCM may be powered by the Comfort system where it benefits from the battery backed up power supply.

The installer or user has the option of using software developed by alphaWerk which includes MQTT, Node-Red, OpenHab and HomeAssistant support or, with the technical documentation and operating system configuration provided, they may develop their own.


The UCM/PI Manual can be downloaded from   http://www.cytech.biz/product_details.php?item_id=513

Software installation instructions may be found here: https://github.com/alphawerk/UCMPi_Install

There is also an active slack community, to join please send a request to matt.brain@alphawerk.co.uk or via PM.

UCM/Pi is not able to upgrade its own firmware or upgrade vocabulary at this time. You need another UCM - USB, Wifi or Eth03.

Do not try to upgrade firmware or vocabulary otherwise it may corrupt the firmware or vocabulary

Hi Chiu,
i know that V. 7.125 is now able to self upgrade itself.
When do you think, the UCM/PI firmware will be able to upgrade the vocabulary as well?
