1. 'Object Align' function in KT03 Editor.
2. Ability to send Cbus commands from KT03 and not just Responses.

Building a flexible Time Clock on a KT03 ......

I can see that buttons can enable or disable Comfort Time Programs.

I can see the KT03 Schedules (but I don't see they can be turned on or off other than during KT03 configuration. i.e. missing a KT03 'System Action Type' or via a Response an Action 'KT03 Schedule Enable / Disable'). Embedding flags to Enable / Disable is probably possible though.

What is not available is flexible time of day functions. e.g. setup 2 ON Buttons and 2 OFF Buttons for each day of the week.

So my wish would be for Counter Function(s) that hold and manipulate time (Flexible but will use 2 x 4 x 7 Counters in the above example?) or at least the ability to set a Time Program Time. The latter in the above example would use 4 x 7 Time Programs in Comfort (out of 32 available)

Any comments appreciated (or even better clever workarounds!)

Nigel

Vertical and Horizontal sliders are available now
In Slider Visual Properties, there is an Orientation  field ahere you can select Horizontal or Vertical

Duplicate Page does not have a specific function now, but you can select all the items on a page, Copy it and Paste to the new page

Object align ? How would that work. What would the object align to?

Sendinf Cbus commands from KT03 is very difficult to do, because the elements have certain properties like set counter, set sensor, Do Response etc - very compact functions. Allowing people to create a string of cbus commands of uncertain  length does not fit into that communication design. The whole KT03 operation would have to be  redesigned
In practice it is not a  hassle to specify a Response and create it on the spot
Futhermore once a Response is created you have the possibiity of using it elsewhere instead of having to do it all over again

Can we have wrap text on buttons?

Object Align is where you select objects e.g. buttons and they all snap to an alignment e.g. Centre line. I agree it can be quite difficult to get things aligned due to the responsiveness

But if the objects are not the same size then how would they be aligned?

Align: When you have 4 or 5 objects in a row then select one object as the reference and align the others to it. The same goes for columns. This is to make placement of objects easier and not have to move them individually pixel-by-pixel to get them all aligned with each other. See ComfortClient Floorplan Editor as an example.

CBus Commands: I agree that you can set responses for Cbus but that is not scalable. I would need a response to Switch one light On, another to switch the same light to 50% etc. I have LOTS of Dimmers and Relays so that option is not going to work for me. Can the KT03 not send a command to Comfort, similar to DA, which would then be interpreted and forwarded to the UCM/CBus? To prevent the KT03 to talk directly to the UCM/Cbus you could customise the command to ONLY be accepted by Comfort itself and then have Comfort generate the DA command according to the details received from KT03.
