Actually UCM/ETH03 does accept simple ASCII commands as documented in the Comfort Protocol
download from http://www.cytech.biz/serial_interface_protocol.html
eg I?02 means Query Input 2
The reply I?0201 means Input 2 is on
You can control and monitor comforts state quite well
Comfigurator and the Comfort apps all use the same protocol
I've developed a couple of bridges to comfort using the comfort protocol (C,Java), I'd like to have one now for Javascript (node) but the control chars are a pain, plus javascript wants websockets (JSON over TCP).
JSON is simple and very popular. Having the UCM support this rather than a raw message would make life much easier for integration.
