Fw: Comfort plugin

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Correct - the UCM is used exclusively by the HomeSeer Comfort plugin. I
also load up the HomeSeer xAP Plugin and thats what the XLobby system with
it's own xAP plugin to talk together - phew !!

Now you can see why a nice bit of xAP Comfort hardware would be nice.

I'm coming to this thread a bit late due to Yahoo not sending digest
out reliably but...

Interested in your theme here. I too use xLobby and have been playing
with the xAP plugin.  I've got it working well for quasar temperature
reporting into XL.

I also got Patrick's xAP comfort plugin working independently but then
didn't get to a point of xL integration because I also use the
Comfort/ACE interface and found that I couldn't use the same UCM for
both purposes at the same time.  Was this your problem too or were you
trying to do something more sophisticated?

I'd presumed a second UCM could be used but I'm not sure.

(My intent had been to control X10 lighting scenes set up in Comfort
via the xAP interface but didn't get that far...yet.)
