Hi,
My Comfort system was installed by the guy who had the house before me, whilst over the last few years i have made minor upgrades to the system iam looking to start and do a major overhaul.

However iam finding trouble working out what type of system i have? 1 or 2 for example, as one of the things i want to do is upgrade from the old style RS232 UCM to the Ethernet system and iam not sure how to find out if it is compatible with my current system.

i have attached the screenshot of the system information from comfigurator incase that is of may help? my system has been modified already to take FS24 rather than the previous FS21,

Thanks in anticipation

Correct, you have Comfort I Ultra 4.156
You should be able to use a UCM/Ethernet with this system
But not if you are planning to use the Comfort iPhone app as you need Comfort II for that

Ident,

Is there a post somewhere that summarises the user benefits of moving from a Comfort 1 to Comfort II system?

Might be useful recap.  Maybe a matrix as well of what UCM works with what System generation as well?

Thanks for the info guys, thats great to know i can fill my bisic requirements with the system i have, if i want to upgrade, how much trouble will it be? perhaps a bit too much i also have a slave board in the garage too so i assume all parts will need upgrading?

Thanks

Oh and yes a matrix would certainly be a great idea!
