W Home Automation introduces W Home Pro, a system that makes wireless home automation available to
everybody. W Home Pro uses both X-10 and A-10 components, which are simple to install in both new and existing
homes and offices. W Home Pro is an alternative to expensive Bus automation systems and thanks to its unique
concept, can be offered as a solution that can satisfy individual consumer requirements at a very attractive price.
How is that possible? W Home Pro products are installed on the existing mains electrical wiring network (240V
a.c.), and the control signals between the W Home Pro Transmitters and Receivers are sent over the same mains
wiring. Therefore in existing homes and offices, demolition and cable chasing work is not necessary and installation
and material costs are greatly reduced. W Home Pro products can be used in conjunction with everyday light and
power switches (including manufacturer’s ‘designer’ models) and thus specialised automation wall switches are not
required, another cost saving.
How does it work?
As mentioned, the W Home Pro series is made up of a mixture of X-10 and A-10 components. X-10 is the name
of the automation protocol in which control signals are sent over the mains 240V electrical power network. A-10
is simply a more advanced version of X-10, which has greater signal strength, higher noise immunity and better
reception. Most A-10 Receivers also support status request and thus are defined as “2-way”. When we talk about
the control signals we will just use the term “X-10 signal” for clarity (even though the signal may be the stronger A-10
one).
Introduction
W Home Pro makes home automation available to everybody.
By fitting X-10/A-10 Transmitters and Receivers behind switches, behind power points, or within other positions
throughout the installation depending on your needs, X-10 signals are sent over the existing mains wiring network in
the home or building. Because of this, the system is simple to retrofit (not CAT5e cable to be run!), and completely
modular - the W Home Pro system can easily be extended or modified.
X-10/A-10 Receivers are given a unique code during installation. This code is composed of a “house-code” and a
“unit code”. The house code is a letter between A and P, the unit code is a number between 1 and 16. Therefore
there are 256 possible X-10 addresses, more than enough for most installations. A few examples of X-10/A-10
addresses are A1, B6, E14 and P16. However, once the system is installed, the user doesn’t need to remember the
codes, they are simply used within the set-up of the system.

Using W Home Pro
Using W Home Pro
What can you actually do with the W Home Pro system? This simple question has many answers due to the flexible nature
of the W Home Pro system. There are thousands of individual applications that may be solved using X-10 and A-10
products, but we’ll try to give you the information you need to recognise these applications below.
With the X-10 Computer Interface (incorporating Active Home software) for instance, you can control the automation
Receivers by defining conditions and associating actions. For example, if it is later than 10pm (condition A) and the light
in the hall is turned off (condition B), then the light on the front veranda will automatically go on (action A) and the lights in
the living room will be turned off (action B). This is an example of a simple ‘going to bed’ scenario, similar scenario’s can be
programmed for ‘waking up’, ‘leaving home’ or ‘vacation mode’, all including different conditions and actions.
Using X-10 and A-10 wireless automation products, the W Home Pro system has more to offer than comfort alone. W Home
Pro can also help to create a enhance safety and security, and in addition, can provide extra independence for the elderly
or disabled. In this section, a few of W Home Pro’s unlimited possibilities are explored.
What can be operated by my W Home Pro Transmitters?
•
Individual lights or lighting groups installed with X-10/A-10 Receiver can be switched or dimmed by any W Home Pro
Transmitter or Interface
•
With the CM12 Computer Interface, automated lighting points and electrical appliances can be operated direct from
a PC
•
Individual lighting points, electrical appliances or complete scenarios can be controlled via any touch tone telephone,
including from your mobile
•
TV, Audio and Video devices (such as your DVD player) can be operated using the URTCH35 touch screen remote
control or Leopard wall mounted touch-screen
What automatic switching operations are possible using W Home Pro?
•
Each light/appliance with an X-10/A-10 Receiver connected can be independently switched on or off at a pre-selected
time, date, or upon other specific conditions
•
Lights and appliances can be set to automatically switch on, off or dim at dawn or dusk (or at defined offset times,
e.g. dawn+20min)
•
W Home Pro can be your irrigation controller, watering your garden according to a programmed routine. But it’s also
smart - the system can be set to skip a watering event if there has already been adequate rainfall
Scenarios/scenes: what are these exactly?
With the W Home Pro programmable interface the residents themselves can pre-select individual switching, dimming and/
or combinations of these two. These are called scenarios. A few examples are given below:
6
•
By one touch of a switch on an X-10/A-10 Transmitter, a relaxed atmosphere can be created where the required lighting
effects are set immediately
•
When leaving home, the “away from home” scenario is triggered from any Transmitter, where various lights and/or
other equipment are shut down. Furthermore, certain lights can be programmed to randomly activate, to create the
impression that the home or business is occupied
•
By one touch of a Transmitter, a “bed time” scenario is triggered, and the downstairs lighting is switched off, the
stairwell and upstairs hallway lighting is turned on to 40% to enable a pathway to the bedroom before turning off 10
minutes later
•
A “holiday” scene can be programmed, whereby the normal living circumstances can be simulated and select lights
and other electrical appliances (such as a radio) can be automatically switched on and off at varying times during the
day and night
•
A shut down scenario can automatic switch off appliances when leaving the home (e.g. forcing the power to the electric
oven off and turning the front veranda lights off after 10 minutes)
W Home Pro can be applied in professional health care projects in combination with products that have specifically been
developed for these applications. In this way, the elderly or disabled people are given the opportunity to stay independent
longer. Various examples include:
•
The way to the bathroom is automatically lit up when a person gets out of bed at night and automatically switched off
after they go back to bed.
•
In combination with a community warning system:
•
Can act as a welfare detector (or activity detector), for instance when no activities in the home have been signalled
in the control room for four hours. The responsible people can then take action
•
In an emergency, by simply touching a warning device for instance hung around the neck, a communication line
connected to the control room can be activated. The control room can then automatically unlock the front door of the
person concerned to enable supervisor access
What can W Home Pro offer in the area of protection?
With W Home Pro it is possible to create a lived-in look, even when nobody is at home during short or longer periods of
time. This is accomplished by switching on and off, or dimming lighting and other appliances in accordance with preselected scenes. A random switching sequence provides a higher level of security than a fixed sequence.
W Home Pro can also be interfaced to an alarm system, a few benefits including:
•
When the alarm system is armed, the home’s lights switch on and off at certain intervals to create a lived-in look
•
In the case of an emergency, all the downstairs lights can be switched on from one switch in the bedroom, via the
triggering of a “panic” scene
•
When an outdoor movement is detected, the outdoor lighting is turned on and the downstairs lighting may be
configured to activate 20 seconds later
•
When an alarm condition occurs, the interior and exterior lighting may be configured to flash, in combination with the
audible warning of the alarm system
Using W Home Pro
Can W Home Pro be used for health care applications?
What other special characteristics does W Home Pro possess?
Thanks to the unique operation of W Home Pro’s X-10 and A-10 products, various applications are possible, a few of which
are mentioned below
•
Lighting located throughout the home or office can be switched on or off by the existing switches, regardless of which
circuit or phase they are connected
•
Software associated functions and scenario’s can be allocated to X-10/A-10 enabled switches in the home and be
altered. For instance, a switch in a bedroom can be adapted such that it can also operate outdoor lighting without
requiring extra wiring
•
You can start with just one room automated in the home and then easily extend the system down the track to suit extra
requirements
•
Power points can be temporarily isolated, for instance in the children’s bedroom or to the hot water service during
vacation
•
A switch can be provided with extra ‘time dependent’ functions. For example, when the lounge room light switch is
pressed after 10pm, all the other lights in the room are automatically switched off and at the same time the lights in
the hallway are switched on. When the same switch is pressed at another time, a different scenario may be triggered,
including dimming the lights and automatically starting the ‘play DVD’ scenario
•
By connecting a Receiver to power points and setting time dependent facilities, the washing machine, dryer or
dishwasher can be switched on such that, they operate during low tariff hours or are isolated when on vacation

Operation
Operation
The X-10 and A-10 products that make up the W Home
Pro system are very easy to install. Because it uses
the existing 240V mains wiring throughout the home,
specialised network cabling and other associated
costs are not required. To give an insight into how the
system works. A step-by-step explanation of W Home
Pro is given below.
The W Home Pro basics
All the components of the W Home Pro System can be split
up into certain categories: Transmitters, Receivers and
Interfaces. Transmitters send X-10 signals on the mains
power network, Receivers receive these signals and act on
the commands by switching or dimming the attached load.
Interfaces are generally both Transmitters and Receivers,
such as the CM12 Computer Interface or Leopard touch
screen. The Interfaces can receive commands from the
Transmitters, act on this signal (e.g. the signal was a
trigger for a macro stored in the Interface), and then send
out the necessary X-10 signals to fulfil the scenario.
Invisible installation
Often it is desired to install the W Home Pro automation
modules out of sight. Although there are quick and easy
plug-in modules, which remain visible, most of the
W Home Pro products are installed by an electrician
behind switches, power points, in electrical cabinets or in
the ceiling space.
The most popular components of the W Home Pro series
are the new micro modules. Including the DAIX dimmer
and the SAIX switch, these compact design A-10 modules
measure only 45x45x16mm) and can be mounted outof-sight behind power points and switches. The micro
modules connect to a momentary or continuous switch,
easily turning an existing light switch into one that is
W Home Pro enabled. When installed, the micro module
Receiver (and for that matter, other receivers) handle the
load switching and dimming, whilst the existing wall switch
becomes simply a manual control input for the micro
module.
Switching technique (SAIX)
The hybrid switching technology incorporated within the
SAIX micro module Receiver makes it possible for it to
switch a load up to 10A, regardless of whether the load
is resistive1, inductive2, or capacitive3. The switching in
the SAIX Receiver is performed with both a mechanical
relay and a semiconductor component, whereby the risk
of “welding” of the relay contacts closed is a thing of the
past. Furthermore, this design makes it possible to keep
the housing very compact.
Micro Module Transmitters (micro module)
Commands are sent over the whole electrical
wiring network
In order to transmit the commands throughout the home or
building, the X-10 signal is sent on the mains 240V wiring.
When a W Home Pro X-10 signal command is sent, this
command is received by the whole mains network, even if
a module is located on another circuit. The signal will not
normally travel across a different phase unless a phase
coupler is installed, see the CR244 3-phase coupler/
repeater.
The micro module Transmitters (e.g. DIX1, DIX2) are
mounted behind a wall switch, turning that wall switch into
an X-10 signal transmitter. As they are a transmitter, these
modules do not switch a load so they are perfect to enable
the wall switch to trigger scenarios or to control Receivers
located in remote areas of the home. The micro module
transmitters “translate” an action - e.g. pressing the
momentary or continuous switch, into an X-10 signal that is
then distributed to the W Home Pro Receivers or Interfaces
via the mains power network. Only the specific Receiver
with the correct address reacts to the command. In this
way, it is possible with one button press to select a simple
on/off function or to activate an advanced scenario.
Remote control
As all W Home Pro X-10 and A-10 Receivers are provided
with an address during installation (A1, C12, etc.), meaning
that only the desired Receiver will carry out the particular
command. The X-10 signal is actually a binary signal,
therefore there is no chance that a Receiver will respond
erroneously due to any power line interference.

To operate W Home Pro by remote control, any of the
W Home Pro remote control devices may be used. Control is
achieved from any position in the home due to the fact that
W Home Pro remotes operate using RF (radio frequency)
signals, which travel through walls and ceilings. Obviously, a
remote control is not connected to the mains power network
(which is where the X-10 signals are sent) so an RF Interface
module (TM13 or V572AE) is required, placed in a central
position in the home. Individual lamps, appliances and
scenes can be activated using the remote control device.
e.g. Light bulb or strip heater. 2 e.g. Motors and halogen lighting using conventional transformers.
Energy-saving light bulbs and fluorescent lamps.
In addition to controlling your lighting and devices, the
W Home Pro URTCH35 touch-screen remote can also
operate most types of audio/video devices, such as
your DVD player or plasma television. The URTCH35 is
programmed so that it can be used for almost all IR based
A/V devices and brands, after the associated make and
type code has been programmed. Also, the Leopard wall
mounted touch screen can store IR commands, enabling
the extra feature of controlling A/V equipment within
programmed scenes. Using the Leopard touch screen in
this way, a coming home scenario (which is activated by a
micro module Transmitter at the front door) can turn on the
lighting to your requirements, disarm the alarm panel, AND
send the necessary IR commands to start your CD player
– creating a welcoming ambience to your home.
Pro enabled wall switches, devices can be automatically
switched at various times. Almost all switching operations
can be “translated” into conditions and actions, and can
then be easily programmed in the Computer Interface in
conjunction with the Active Home software, by the installer
or the user.
Computer Interface without computer?
It may sound contradictory, but the W Home Pro Computer
Interface can work within the W Home Pro installation
without being connected to the PC. A computer connected
is needed for programming the individual scenarios and
activating the system from the PC. However, after the
scenarios and other settings have been stored in the
memory of the Computer Interface, the computer can be
disconnected from the Interface.
Operation
Operation of consumer appliances
The Computer Interface will still need to be installed in a
power point, due to the fact that the commands are sent
and received via the mains electrical wiring network. Whilst
the Computer Interface doesn’t rely on a PC to operate,
doing so enables the user to monitor the system in ‘realtime’, including the current status of the W Home Pro
modules.
W Home Pro system without a Programmable Interface
Programmable Interfaces
There are several Programmable Interfaces within the
W Home Pro range. A Programmable Interface is required
to enable the use of macros and scene’s within the home
or business. These Interfaces are the Leopard touch
screen panel, the Ocelot controller and the Computer
Interface.
The Leopard touch screen panel mounts on a wall and it
can send and receive X-10 signals, send and respond to
IR commands as well as interface with many other devices.
The Leopard touch screen features a blue and white
display, and considering its advanced features and the
fact that it can be used as the brains behind a complete
W Home Pro installation, it’s one of the most cost effective
home automation controllers on the market. Combined with
Receiver’s installed hidden from view, the Leopard is the
visible element to the installation, adding both a stylish and
functional feature to your home.
The Ocelot controller is similar in features to the Leopard
touch screen, except that it is not a touch-screen. It is
designed to store the home’s programming and to facilitate
macros and scenario’s, but is installed hidden from view.
The Computer Interface has to be connected to a power
point in the home, and is then connected to the COM or
USB port of a PC. The geographic clock in the computer
module makes it possible to carry out operations at
dusk or dawn. By storing macros and scenarios, the
computer module ensures that lighting and devices can
be switched or dimmed in a flexible manner. With W Home
The Programmable Interfaces (Leopard, Ocelot &
Computer Interface) offer additional possibilities for a
W Home Pro installation, but they are not an essential
component. When the user is only interested in controlling
the W Home Pro system using remote control, movement
detectors or via 3rd party interfaces (connected to the
SM10 for example), then a Programmable Interface is not
necessary.
Manual switching
With most W Home Pro X-10 and A-10 Receivers, it
remains possible to still operate the lighting and electrical
appliances manually. Scenarios and automatic switching
can be overridden at all times by means of the wall
switches. In this way, residents always remain in control of
their W Home Pro system.
Coupling with 3rd party devices
X-10 and A-10 is an open system. Any external outputs of
electrical appliances can be connected to certain W Home
Pro Transmitters. This makes it possible for certain devices
to send X-10 signals, for example an existing alarm system
that activates the lighting when an emergency situation
occurs, or a garage door opener which automatically
triggers the ‘coming home’ scenario when the garage door
opens in the evening.
Suppression filters
To prevent the X-10 signals that are transmitted via the
electrical wiring network from leaving the building, and
possible signals from outside from entering it, X-10/A-10
filters can be fitted. The suppression filter is installed in the
switch board. See FD10.
As the X-10 signals are sent on the 240V mains network,
the range of the signal can sometimes affected by ‘noisy’
9
Operation
devices that put interference onto the power lines. These
‘noisy’ devices can be filtered out using the AF310 noise
filter. Should the range of the X-10 transmission need to
be increased, a component of the W home Pro series is
the SVX10 signal repeater, which when connected to the
electrical wiring will amplify the signal and thus increase
the range.
During what stage of the construction should W Home
Pro be installed?
The W Home Pro X-10 and A-10 modules can be installed
into new and existing homes. Therefore, they can still be
easily installed after the home has been built and is being
lived in. However, the micro modules require a mains
neutral wire, therefore installation is simpler when neutral
wires are run down to the switch locations – which is
common practice anyway.
The X-10/A-10 system is easy to configure and add
to - therefore after the residents have had time to
experiment with their new automation system, tweaking
the programming and adding extra functionality with new
modules is simple.
Installation by a skilled electrical contractor
W Home Pro is an advanced home automation system that
should be installed by a specialist in this field, one who
can iron out any programming problems and other issues
(from ‘noisy’ devices for example). For this purpose,
W Home Pro organises special training courses for
Electrical Contractors and System Integrators.
Installation tools
To be able to install W Home Pro’s X-10 and A-10
components quickly and professionally, it is recommended
that use is also made of the A-10 programming unit
(AT004). This unit can send and receive X-10 signals and
show them in the display. The AT004 also offers the ability
to easily configure some of the more advanced features
contained within the A-10 modules. Additionally, the
strength of the X-10 signal received and any interference
noise levels are measured. In this way, it is possible to test
the electrical wiring network before the system is installed
and to remove any interference by means of a suitable
filter. The X-10/A-10 modules fitted can also be tested
immediately, and therefore the complete system can be
commissioned before the home is handed over to the user.
As the AT004 provides a read-out of the X-10 signal
levels received (amongst other things), for testing range
and any interference levels, it is easier to use when there
are continuous X-10 signals present. For this purpose,
the AT004 can be used in conjunction with an AT001
X-10 signal transmitter, which will transmit X-10 signals
constantly.
10
Programming of W Home Pro Receiver modules
Each module is provided with an X-10/A-10 address. In
the micro modules and other A-10 Receivers, the address
is set by putting the module into ‘setup mode’ and by
transmitting commands on the address you wish the
module to respond to. These commands can be sent by
means of any X-10/A-10 Transmitter (basic method), or by
using the A-10 AT004 programming unit (advanced). Most
other X-10 Receiver modules have code wheels, one wheel
for setting the house code (A-P) and another for setting the
unit code (1-16). Once the modules have been provided
with an address, this will not be lost even if a black out
occurs. Consequently, the modules can be provided with
an address in the workshop (saving time on site).
Descriptions of the products mostly applied are given below. For a complete summary refer to pages 27 and 28.
Receivers
For control of lights and appliances using the W Home Pro X-10/A-10 automation system, each point you would like
automated requires a Receiver. Receivers are provided with an X-10 address during installation, providing the ability to
control each one independently. Depending on the application, there are Receivers suitable for mounting behind wall
switches, behind power points, on DIN rails or in junction boxes.
SAIX Switch Receiver
(micro module)
Product description
The SAIX is both an A-10 Receiver relay switch
and a signal Transmitter, which can be mounted
behind light switches (momentary or continuous),
or fitted behind power points. By fitting a SAIX
module behind a switch, lights and devices can
then be operated via W Home Pro Transmitters and
Interfaces.
Characteristics

(if required)
DAIX10 Dimmer Receiver
Operation
The wires of the SAIX module are connected to
either a continuous or momentary switch, making it
possible to operate the load both via the automation
system and manually. The SAIX as a Receiver has
one relay, thus provides the ability to control
one load. However, two switches can be wired
into the SAIX, therefore as a Transmitter the
first switch will transmit an X-10 signal as well
as control the built in relay. When the second
switch is operated, the SAIX will send out an X10 signal which can be used to control another
Receiver module elsewhere in the installation,
or for triggering a scenario (in conjunction with
a suitable Programmable Interface). The SAIX
can also be controlled by W Home Pro X-10 signals
originating from other X-10/A-10 Transmitters,
Interfaces and remote controls.
Installation advice
Active and neutral are required to be connected to
the SAIX
•
Memory feature allows DAIX10 to switch on to
the last dim level used
•

Product description
•
Status can be retained after a black out
The DAIX10 module is both a dimmable Receiver
and A-10 Transmitter. The DAIX10 can be mounted
behind momentary action light switches, making it
possible to switch and dim the lights via both the
automation system and with the manual control
switches. The momentary switch makes it possible
to control dimming from the switch. Normal wall
switches are easily converted to momentary
switches by simply replacing the actual switch
mechanism.

•
Rain sensor available to halt watering schedule
if there has already been sufficient rainfall
To operate W Home Pro Receivers, Interfaces and Transmitters are required. Interfaces are capable of both transmitting and
receiving signals, for example the Leopard touch-screen can receive X-10 signals which in turn may trigger macros and
scenarios. The Leopard will then transmit the necessary X-10 signals to activate the scenario. Transmitters only send X-10
signals to control Receivers.
When desired, each Receiver can be controlled by more than one Interface or Transmitter. This can be easily accomplished
without having to alter the wiring. All that is required is for the correct address to be transmitted, even when the Receiver
and Interface/Transmitter are located in different circuits or phases. Depending on the application, various Interfaces or
Transmitters may be used. Apart from the inline Interfaces/Transmitters such as the Leopard or micro module Transmitters,
other models are also included in the W Home Pro range, such as the plug-in bedside timer or computer module.

As you are now aware, X-10 signals sent by W Home Pro Transmitters and Interfaces are sent over the home or office mains
electrical wiring. In a 3-phase installation, X-10 signals will not jump across phases and thus require a 3-phase coupler.
Also, sometimes in larger installations the X-10 signal may become weak as it travels over long distances and may require a
repeater in order to boost the signal.
Certain appliances connected to your electrical wiring may generate noise onto the power line. This random electrical
interference may interfere with the X-10 command signal transmission, however in these instances we can filter out noise
simply using a noise filter.

Execution
Creation of mood lighting, together with
operation of TV, video and audio appliances
with just one remote control device.
By choosing the URTCH35 for remote control operations, it is possible
to switch not only the lighting but also most types of A/V equipment.
For controlling the X-10/A-10 Receivers or Interfaces with the
URTCH35, an RF interface (TM13 or V572AE) also must be fitted.
Automatic switching of the lights when no one
is home, to give the impression that the home
is occupied. (With random daily sequences).
All lighting points that are provided with Receivers can be switched and
dimmed at any desired time, by programming the desired scene into a
W Home Pro Programmable Interface.
To trigger a personal lighting scene by one
key press on the remote, for example a
“sleeping” or “relax mode” lighting scenario.
This can be established by programming a Programmable Interface
so that each scenario has an associated ‘trigger address’. The trigger
address can then be activated via remote control or from any other
W Home Pro Transmitter or Interface (e.g. DIX1).
To have the option to control various lights
with one switch and to have the flexibility to
change the associated lights at a later stage
to suit any future requirements.
By fitting switching Transmitters around the home (DIX1 for instance)
and then within a Programmable Interface coupling the addresses to
Receivers connected to the lights, it’s possible to switch all of them.
Furthermore, this can easily be modified at a later date, without having
to change the whole installation.
When approaching the front door, the carport
lighting (a) and the light in the hallway (b)
come on automatically.
Connect an AIX12 Transmitter behind a movement detector in the
carport, which will send an X-10 signal when movement is detected.
The signal is then received by a Programmable Controller which in
turn sends out an ON X-10 signal to the hallway light (b) and carport
light (a). To enable these lights to receive X-10 signals, switching or
dimming Receiver modules (SAIX or DAIX10) are mounted behind the
wall switches (a) and (b) in the hallway.

switch makes it possible to dim lighting points (c & d) using both this
switch and by remote control.
To be able to switch the table lamps (f) that
are plugged in a wall socket either by remote
control and/or automatically via a scenario.
By installing a switch Receiver (SAIX) behind the power points,
the table lamp (f) can be switched by an X-10 signal sent from a
Transmitter or Interface. The signal can be given with wall switch (f),
by remote control and/or automatically via a scenario. For automatic
switching, a Programmable Interface is required. The above can also
be established in a simpler but less aesthetic way by using the LM12 or
AM12 plug-in modules.
To be able to switch the outdoor lighting (g)
from in the living room or kitchen.
By mounting a switch Receiver (SAIX) behind switch (g), the outdoor
lights can be controlled from the living room. The second address of
the SAIX module behind switch (h) in the kitchen can also be used
to control these lights. This address can easily be changed for other
applications.
To be able to switch the lighting in the garden
shed from inside the home, without having to
lay new cables.
Due to the fact that the modules are fed by the electrical wiring, and
the shed already has a power connection, it’s only necessary to fit
a switch Receiver (SAIX) to the garden shed light (m). The light can
then be switched from inside the shed, or from one or more selected
locations in the home, using W Home Pro Interfaces, Transmitters or
Remote Controls.
To have detection of motion result in the
outdoor lighting at the rear of the house (g)
to be switched on and 10 seconds later, the
lights in the living room (c, d & e) as well.
The AIX12 interface behind the movement detector on the rear wall of
the building sends an X-10 signal via the mains wiring when movement
is detected. The outdoor light (g) is then switched on. As the signal may
also be received by Programmable Interfaces, a second action can
be programmed e.g. 10 minutes later the delayed switching-on of the
lighting in the living room can occur (c, d, & e).
To be able to switch the lighting in the garage
(k) with three different wall switches.
By mounting a switch Receiver (SAIX) behind one wall switch and
fitting a switch Transmitter (DIX1, DIX2) with the same addresses to
the other two switches, 3-way switching can be obtained. This multiway switching can be extended by fitting extra switch Transmitters
(DIX1, DIX2), without having to install extra wiring.
To be able to switch on the lights in the living
room (c, d & f) and outdoors (g) automatically
every day at dusk.
By selecting the right geographical position of the residence
programmed in a W Home Programmable Interface, the selected
lights in the living room (c, d & f) can be switched on at dusk. The
geographical clock of the Programmable Interface (eg Leopard,
Computer Interface) will automatically track dusk and dawn, so that the
lights are switched on each day at the correct time. Daylight savings
time is also taken into account.
When entering or leaving the hall, to be able
to switch all the lights in the living room with
one switch.
Install a DIX behind the switch in the hall, which can then send out a
‘All lights on’ or ‘All units off’ command. This will only have the desired
effect if only the lights in living room are set to the same house code.
Alternatively, a Programmable Interface can receive the command
from the DIX and in turn send out the various signals to the lights in the
living room.
To be able to shut down any fans in the
kitchen, bathroom or toilets when leaving the
home.
By fitting a SAIX switch Receiver behind each switch controlling
the fan, all fans can be switched off simultaneously from a switch
programmed to trigger a ‘shut down’ scenario stored within a
Programmable Interface.
Practical Examples
To be able to vary the brightness of the downlights in two window sills (c & d) by means of
a wall switch or remote control.
