Controlling Home Automation Devices

The Magnia SG20 Digital Central Home Automation interface allows you to view the
status of all your connected home automation devices through any computer that can
reach your Magnia SG20 server. Through this interface, you can adjust heating and air
conditioning, lighting, security panel settings and audio/video equipment. Because you
can access your home automation through the Internet, dial up modem, or wirelessly,
you have tremendous flexibility and control using the Digital Central interface.

Lighting

Through the Magnia SG20 Digital Central interface, you can view and change the lighting
throughout your home. To view the state of the lights connected to your home automation
controller, use a web browser on a client computer or PDA to access your Magnia SG20
Digital Central web site. Enter the following URL in your web browser: http://myserver/
digital. (If you have changed the name of your server, replace the name "myserver" in the
URL with your server's new name).
NOTE: If you have difficulty accessing the Digital Central web site using this URL,
you can try using the server's IP address: http://192.168.1.1/digital. If you have
changed the local IP address, use the server's new IP address.
All lights that are configured for home automation via the SG20 Lighting Configuration
page will be displayed in Digital Central. The list of lights will be grouped by the zones
they were assigned during configuration (for example, Den, Living Room, and so on.).
The groups (or zones) are listed in alphabetical order.
Each light in a specific zone is identified by the name you gave it during configuration (for
example, Front Standing Light). Next to this name is an indicator of whether the light is
currently on or off (bright yellow indicator for "on", gray for "off"). This is how you can tell
the state of your lights from remote locations (via VPN).
