Comfigurator 3.8.6 has been released

The new features described here require Comfort and UCM firmware version 7 (connected to Comfigurator).  Please upgrade to the latest firmware as described in http://www.comfortforums.com/forum92/3400.html


Please upgrade to Comfort firmware 7.057 (or above), as older firmware may have extra keypads 9 to 15 appearing after a scan

How to upgrade to Comfigurator 3.8.6
Running Comfigurator 3.6.x and above will detect that a new version is available on the Cytech Server and will prompt you to download the new version. Also in Help menu, there is "Check for Updates" which will download the latest version.
To upgrade from older Comfigurator 3.5.x, and below, download Comfigurator 3.8.6 from http://www.cytech.biz/comfigurator.html


Known Issues
  1. Cbus1 actions which are not in the Lighting application are not converted correctly to Cbus2
  2. Read User Codes does not work (from 3.6.5)
  3. Cbus2 Actions in Response Wizard for Trigger and Enable are wrong.  UCM/CBUS2 is still in beta testing.
  4. Event Window (which shows the last alarm event) reports Phone Line Cut (Controller) as "Line Cut UCM#15"
  5. Options > Default KT03 Template causes  an exception
  6. Lutron commands for use in General and Universal UCM have error when more than 1 control Unit is specifed

Bugs fixed
  1. Optimum (File system 31) zone words cause Keypad not to announce the words. On the LCD, the zone words are displayed as "Nul0 Nul0 Nul0 Nul0"
  2. Fixed User Mode Control Menu commands not working
  3. Logic Engine Functions screen does not show Thermostats and Blinds
New Features
  1. For Firmware Upgrading in Modules, "Download Firmware Upgrade" is  a new option. This allows the latest released firmware to be downloaded so it can be used for upgrade later.  
  2. The new User Mode has been introduced. Select User Mode or Engineer Mode from the View Menu. Engineer Mode is for programming the system, corresponding to the "normal" operation of Comfigurator, while User Mode  is for the user. User Mode has the functions of Wizcomfort, and will be described in detail in a later post
  3. UCM I/O Monitor is now enabled or disabled by Hide and Show on the UCM I/O Monitor bar, instead of in the View Menu. This makes it easier to turn it on and off.   The "Login" button is always shown on UCM I/O Monitor even when it is Hidden
  4. The cclx file is automatically backed up before every write to Comfort. An older version can be restored in File Menu > Restore from Backup.  Select the date and time of the previous backup. The auto-backup option is enabled in Options > Settings > "Backup before Write"
  5. An Event Box next to UCM/I/O Monitor bar shows alarm events as they occur in RED  eg Exit Time started and countdown, Entry time started, system  armed/disarmed to security mode, Alarm Type Active, Doorbell
  6. In Security > Sign-in  Codes, there are anew buttons for "Write User Codes" and "Read User Codes" so it is not necessary to write or read to comfort for user codes
  7. Phone Settings - added button for Dial Test. This allows a dial test to all programmed phones to be activated which can be heard on the keypad. This is equivalent to F3,3 on the keypad
  8. The Timer Action "Do Response after X seconds using Timer " has been enhanced. A time of 0 seconds means that the previous action value is used as the timer value. eg Get Counter 1. Do Response 100 after 0 seconds using Timer 2. The value from Counter 1 is loaded as the Timer delay. This allows a variable delay to be applied
  9. When Comfigurator is started, it will check of a  new version of Comfort Server Manager is available from the cytech server, and if so, prompt to download it.
  10. When CS Manager is run from Options > Settings > UCM Connection > select network, Comfigurator will check for a new version of CS Manager and prompt you to download from the server
  11. Supports new UCM/CBUS2
  12. LT01 is sent by Comfigurator after log in, as an extra message. This is to be used by other applications which need to know when Comfigurator is logged in to Comfort. This requires ULT 7.052 (not released)
Improvements/ Corrections
  1. Number of Outputs in some file systems like OPT  and SPC have been limited to 16 when you open a New file or do a Convert file system from Ultra . Previously the number of outputs was equal to the number of Zones even when the file systems have a lesser number of zones
  2. Scanning for modules, any unknown UCM module will not be shown as General
  3. In Phone Numbers, when the Phone Type is SMS, the + character is allowed as prefix to the phone number to allow the SMS to be sent overseas
  4. "Phantom Modules " which appeared after scanning (where modules are removed before scanning) will not be seen, except where the module has programmed information  eg KT03, UCM/KNX, UCM/Zwave, UCM/Universal, and various UCMs
  5. In Home Control Menu, "Alternate Phrase " allows any words to be entered for Home control menu, but the words are not announced in the Home control Menu. The alternate phrases are copied to UCM/GSM4 for Home control menu so the SMS info does not depend on the spoken words
  6. Vocabulary files are included in Comfigurator for upgrade of Vocabulary in the Comfig folder, so that they do not need to be downloaded.
  7. Configuration Flags and Miscellaneous Settings have been moved from Modules and Settings to Security where it is more appropriate
