Definite beginner to this! But experience of X10, LightwaveRF, ZWave and Domoticz – so not new to the concept or technology! Apologies for the long post, but I'm hopeful that this is all the information required for me to get some pointers!
Long story short, I've bought a house, which had an install (from what I can gather) around 2009 of Comfort II Ultra (I stand to be corrected on this!). It took quite a lot of research to even find out what it was, as it's just a cupboard full of PCBs! Sadly, quite a lot of it was disconnected by a previous resident, and I've connected some of it back up – to the point that I *think* it should be working-ish. That being said, I can't get any response from either of the 2 keypads (speech, or noise of any kind) – although the external alarm sounder did sound a few times, and it seems to open my garage door when power is restored to it after a power loss!
I've just bought an UCM/ETH03 module for it, in the hope that I can connect it to the network, and at least troubleshoot whats wrong with it, before working out what it was set up to do. Fingers crossed the main firmware is new enough for it (if thats even a thing?).
I think it is a combined Alarm (PIR sensors, with IR receivers in every room) Automation (I have a remote control that can turn lights and sockets on and off) and most likely Flood sensor (sensors in every room with running water, but I think this has been bypassed. I would guess a failed flood sensor caused the water supply to go off!). There is a sensor inside the main front door, and a proximity sensor of some kind next to the patio doors.
The modules I've found so far are:
PC01-051B - main board – CM9000-ULT
PC01-054A RGR daughter on main board Ringer?
PC01-050B - slave to main board SEM02-M2
PC01-057A - small board on slave MPU01-ULT - Microcontroller upgrade
PC01-056B - small board on slave - OP1 - Output board
PC01-059B - LEM - daughter on slave board LEM01-M2
PC01-031C - RIO - 6 ground floor. 1 in basement RIO01
PC01-042A - DPM Door module PC01-044A - remote in sala
PC01-038B - also in sala
Keypads KP03
I think what I'm after, initially at least is:
1) Will the UCM/ETH03 work with it, or will I need something else to update its firmware before I can use the ETH03?
2) Am I likely to be able to get into it with the UCM/ETH03, or will I need passwords etc (or are there default passwords – the biometric door stuff I assume part of the same install was all left on default passwords)?
3) If I can't get in to it, can I do a full reset and start again somehow?
4) Any top tips or do's and don'ts for connecting up the first time, or anything else I need to consider?
5) Can I troubleshoot or test inputs/outputs from the software (I assume this may become self explanatory once its connected it)
6) Is there any advantage to doing any firmware updates, or is it best left as-is?
7) Any initial housekeeping I should do, once I've got into the system (remove older users etc)
Its not a full-time house, but I am heading out next weekend (just for the weekend), and hopefully taking the ethernet module with me, if it arrives in time. So some pointers before that would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Adam Booth
