Cytech and EIB
The Cytech product range includes an interface (UCM/EIB)
to allow direct communication between Cytech and EIB. Simply wire the EIB bus into the UCM, use Cytech's programmable
software Comfigurator to add the UCM into the Cytech system and you are ready to start programming.
To add value to your installation, here are some useful interactions that can be readily programmed.
- The alarms movement sensors can be used to trigger events when there is NO movement, so for example when there
is NO movement in a room for say 1 hour then switch lights on EIB light circuit off (click
here for more details and download). Alternatively you may want to dim the circuits by 50% every hour or switch
a scene or switch all lights off.
- The Cytech door phone will ring your internal telephones so that you can answer the door from the internal
phone. However if you are on your way to the front door, then you will not want the phone to continue ringing once
you have received your guest. Cytech response programming allows you to create a response that stops the telephone
ringer. (click here for more
details and download). Place this response in a movement sensor or hallway door contact on response.
- It may be that you want the EIB system to activate a Comfort activity like switching the alarm on. This is
achieved by the use of counters within the Comfigurator program.
Cytech and EnOcean
In a similar way to the other Comfort interfaces Cytech are developing a UCM/ENO to allow direct communication
between Cytech and EIB.
If in the meantime you want to have the two working together then there are EnOcean relays available.

Interfaces to other devices.
A variety of Universal Communications Modules (UCM's) exist to provide flexibility in system design. The Comfigurator
program will allow direct programming of commands to these devices. Interfaces available to: Smartfit, CBUS, EIB,
Ulti, Dynalite, Rako & Lutron.
In addition to this UCM's exist for:
- Learning, transmitting and receiving IR commands (UCM/IR)
- Allowing the Comfort voice to be played on an external powered speaker or PC and to allow intercom and recording
functions from a PC running software like WizComfort (UCM/Audio)
- Allowing the Comfort system to be connected to a Local Area Network (UCM/Ethernet)
Cytech and EIB optimise your heating.
What better than to have your heating automatically set back whenever you arm your security system? More than this,
the combination of Cytech and EIB (using Theben, Gira or Siemens timers and thermostats) allows you to set back
heating at night or place on frost protect if you are away on business or holiday.
If you need to put the heating on again before you return, the built in Cytech telephone voice menu will allow
your customer to do just that.

Potential benefits of a correctly designed system.
- Unlimited number of heating zones using underfloor valves or TRV (thermostatic radiator valves).
- Automated control from different alarm settings.
- Remote dial in access to alter temperature before returning.
- Individual thermostats with individual control; At home - zone temperature depends on dial reading: Standby
- 2 degrees below dial setting: Night - 4 degrees below dial setting: Frost protect - fixed value say 5 deg C.
- Optional floor limit available.
- Timed programs to switch between thermostat modes during the day.
