Hello,
with the new Comfigurator improvement (firmware update over BUS), you have added a very big bonus.

Should it be possible to automatically check for new firmwares and download it from Cytech website trough Comfigurator?
For example: when Comfigurator starts, it checks for new firmware for Comfort and all UCM's attached. If new firmware are avaiable, the download starts. Then Comfigurator may ask user if he wish to upgrade to the latest firmware.

Thanks.

That is a good idea
However It should not be everytime Comfigurator starts because the scanning for modules takes a bit of time

I don't know if cclx file stores firmware versions, but if yes, you can check for new firmware automatically using that file. After upgrade, the new version numbers are stored again in cclx.

Otherwise (simplest and best way), you can add a button to manually check for new firmwares by scanning the bus.
The goal is simple: not to open cytech.biz firmware web page nor search the forum for new firmwares.

You are right, it does keep the detected modules in the Modules tab
