Anyone here thought of , or tried, how to get your own touchscreen
system=20
work with Comfort (via the HomeSeer plugin).

As the CBUS Touchscreen is rather expensive, one possible route is one
of=20
the =A3120 8" touchscreens to a simple PC - and then use a simple
HomeSeer=
=20
built web page to send Comfort commands.

Ony thing I cant see is how you could use the web interface as a virtual=20
keypad. ie if youwant to sign in, you need to type in your 4 digit code=20
followed by # - so you'd need to send each code at a time.

Easy enough you say - but will the UCM be clever enough to know it's being=
=20
send a "keypad" signal rather than just a generic comms signal
down the=20
serial port.

Just scoping out wether this is plausable or not - if so, I'll get a=20
screen and fab up a surround.=20
