I can use for control of lighting only comfort? That is to say, from each point of switch to return a UTP a pair of cables for each key, and after him I throw in entries to send x10 commands! If yes up to how much entries I can function for the lighting without is influenced the operation of system? Are 100% this reliable way, can that is to say function simultaneously also for the two comfort? (enow' and safety and control of lighting)
thank s

From my understanding of your description, you want to control lighting using X-10 protocol, doesn't it? You can connect your X-10 interface wire to Comfort II main board at MJ1 (X-10). There are functions for X-10 commands to control all lights i.e. all ON or all OFF. You can integrate security and control of lighting. For example, turns off all X-10 lights when you armed it to away mode and turns on all X-10 lights when there's an intruder alarm.

The x10 him I use as activators, that is to say each lightning point it will lead to a h10 safety to table (LD11). If, from each switch (buton) the house I turn in the table comfort a cable ph 8x0,22 and activate the entries that then send a x10 command I can support itself very sure on this technique and does function the lighting under from comfort?
In in the house will exist roughly 40 switches hence will need 80 entries in comfort.Thanks

From what I understand, you use regular switches wired back to inputs as Normally Open Switch Zone types, and use the On and Off Responses to activate X10 commands. You have 40 switches to control 40 X10 devices and so you need 80 responses
This should not be a problem as there are 1024 responses in Comfort II
Comfort can be expanded to 64 inputs using Slaves and LEMs and another 120 inputs using RIOs so you have pleanty of inputs.
This should work reliably as far as Comfort is concerned. However X10 is subject to interference from other electrical sources and you must take the normal precautions to ensure that all the devicves acn be controlled.
You will require a lot of wiring for this. You should also consider the Scene Control Switches with 4,6, or 8 buttons per switch, which require a CAT 5 cable Each button can be programmed to activate on and off Response
