Hi Tas, Nigel,

As Chiu mentioned a few posts ago - we have developed a small daughter board that fits onto the UCM05. The unit basically listens to commands being returned on the Rako network via a RAV232+ and runs a defined response.

If Rako transmits room 1 scene 2 the converter stores 01 to counter 253 and 02 to counter 254. It then triggers reponse 240.

It is up to you what you do with that then. We normally have response 240 set flags based on whether the lights are on or off. For instance areas that are normally served by automatic lights (PIR sensed) can be over riden. When the user presses the rako button Comfort now knows the lights have been manually switched and therefore does not turn them off until the users presses the off keypad button.

Using this method you can effectively make a rako keypad control any Comfort funtion.

Does this meet your requirements?

Cheers,

Jon
