Cytech's new UCM/Zwave3 is now available (UCM/Zwave firmware 7.xxx Z-Wave is a next-generation wireless interoperable ecosystem that lets all your home electronics talk to each other, and to you, via remote control. It uses simple, reliable, low-power radio waves that easily travel through walls, floors and cabinets. Z-Wave control can be added to almost any electronic device in your house, even devices that you wouldn't ordinarily think of as "intelligent," such as appliances, window shades, thermostats and home lighting. Z-Wave products are available from many manufacturers in the Z-Wave Alliance like MK Electric. Merten, ACT, Vitrum and many others http://products.z-wavealliance.org/products/833 The UCM/Zwave3 is a 2 way interface between Comfort and a Z-Wave network. This means that Comfort is able to send commands to control any Z-Wave device and a Z-Wave remote control or switch is able to send commands and status to Comfort. For example, a Zwave button or satellite switch to arm the security system, to trigger a Panic alarm or to activate a Response in Comfort. Features
Comfigurator 3.7.x and above supports the new Zwave Configurator which maps Zwave virtual nodes to Comfort registers including
The UCM/Zwave3 implements the Zwave Bridge Controller function which allows Z-wave Virtual Nodes Virtual Nodes allow Zwave Controller buttons and Slaves to be associated to Comfort Registers. For example, a Zwave button or satellite switch to arm the security system, to trigger a Panic alarm or to activate a Response in Comfort.

And to upgrade existing z-wave UCM's to 6.019:- http://www.cytech.biz/ucmzwave_firmware.html?category_id=101 (presumably any existing z-wave UCM of firmware 6.00 or greater can be upgraded?) |

An interesting posssibility with the Logic Engine is the possibility of Zwave to KNX, Zwave to Cbus, Zwave to RAKO etc by connecting different UCMs to the Logic Engine http://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=2746&forum_id=25 |

If the device supports the Z-Wave Basic Class, yes can you find out more details on the Z-Wave classes supported by the device as there seems to be no technical information on the website? |
