Sensible Controls

So, we’ve talked about all the elements of your house that we can control; heating, lighting, security, awnings, blinds etc – but how do you control the controls ?

Hometronic allows several different forms of user interface, click on the links to find out more;

The Hometronic Manager

This is the heart of the system, using its simple display and buttons, you can control all aspects of your house, setting up times, temperatures. You can locate the Manager almost anywhere in your house, because it is a wireless device. You can only have one Hometronic Manager per system, but you could have several Hometronic Systems (each with a Manager) in a single building (for instance, a very large house, or multiple-occupancy building may need more than one system).

The Hand-held Remote Control

Using this lightweight wireless device (it uses radio technology, not Infra-Red, so you don’t need to be in the same room as the device you are controlling) you can turn things on and off, dim lights, position blinds, set room temperatures, and set Lifestyles. If you’ve got children, or other people in the house who you don’t want to “fiddle” with the settings, you can “lock” the remote control. You can have as many Remote Controls on one Hometronic system as you like.

Wall Mounting Temperature Setpoint adjuster

This device is designed for wall-mounting; versions with and without adjustment knobs are available for different applications. The scale on the adjuster is calibrated plus and minus, as an offset from a “normal” setpoint – this normal setpoint would be set automatically from the Manager, and can change at different times of day – but the offset would always be applied.

Special temperature sensors and adjusters

For people that do not like the appearance of the standard wall-mounting sensors and adjusters, Sensible Heat has a range of discrete "thimble" sensors in a variety of metal finishes. Contact us for further details.

Remote Access

You can remotely access your Hometronic system, either by telephone using the Telephone Interface, or from the internet, using one of our Web Interfaces.
