Chapter Six: Home Automation and PGM Control

The purpose of this chapter is to explain the various methods used to control X10 Home
Automation (HA) units installed around the home, and PGM output.The PGM is a
programmable output that is triggered according to specific system status conditions, or
by remote command sent via PSTN, GSM, keyfob, keypad, or RP as explained below.

6.1: Keypad Control

Using either the front panel keypad or the wireless keypad, you can control HA units and
PGM output with the dedicated Home Automation keys – see Figure 6.1.
To control HA units via the front panel keypad or the wireless keypad:
1. Press one of the two Home Automation keys on the keypad (On or Off).
2. Enter the number of the required HA unit in two-digits (01-16, or 30 for
PGM output); the command is sent to the HA unit or PGM.
To control HA units via the hardwire LCD keypad (not relevant to PGM):
1. From the main menu, select Home Automat. [3]; HA Unit #1 is displayed.
2. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the unit you want to control.
3. Press
4. Use the arrow keys to toggle the ON/OFF command.
5. Press
6. Scroll to the next unit you want to control or press

6.2: Keyfob Control

You can control up to two different HA units or PGM using any of the four button keyfobs
registered to the system. For further information on how to assign keyfob buttons to HA
units or PGM, see 7.7.2: Button Assignment.

6.3: Telephone Control

You can send On and Off commands to HA units or PGM output using SMS messages
sent from a cellular phone to the cellular communications module. Alternatively, the HA
unit or PGM can be controlled by using DTMF commands during Telecontrol call (either
to the cellular or PSTN communications modules). For this feature to function correctly,
Telephone control must be enabled for the specific HA units you want to control (see
11.2.6: Telephone Control), and/or for PGM respectively – see 9.7.1: Output Trigger.
6.3.1: DTMF command
Using the Telecontrol feature, you can turn on and off the HA units and PGM output via
the telephone with DTMF commands. For further information on the Telecontrol features,
see Chapter Five: Telecontrol and 5.1.6. HA and PGM DTMF commands.
