Hi All
I am new to comfort but planning to use it as part of a house renovation and home automation project.
I am very interested in controlling and programming Comfort over the ethernet link but I am confused by the options
Is the UCM01/ETH just a UCM05 + ethernet board?
If I went for the UCM01/ETH can I still use it to learn IR codes?
Is there anything else I would need in order to program Comfort over the ethernet network? Software or Licenses?
Thanks in advance
Ben

UCM/Ethernet is basically a UCM05 + Ethernet board but instead of a RS232 interface it is connected to an Ethernet LAN using TCP/IP protocol. The IR learning is not supported by the UCM/Ethernet. You will need Device Server software to set up the UCM/Ethernet IP address; this is available from our website http://www.cytech-technology.com/software.html
You will also need Comfigurator software to configure your Comfort settings.

Thanks for that.
So if IR learning is not supported by the UCM01/ETH, what do I need to enable IR learning?
Or can I use Pronto codes?

If you buy a new UCM/Ethernet, it consists of a UCM05 and an Ethernet serial to interface module. If you remove the Ethernet module, you are left with a standrad UCM05 with Rs232 interface.
Which interface, RS232 or Ethernet you use is determined by the shunt marked "232/485". You can set the UCM as Rs232 interface and use the IR Learner software.
The instruction manual for the UCM05 is in http://www.cytech.biz/manuals.html
You can also use the IR Learner software to convert Pronto hex codes, without a UCM05
