6 Home Automation and PGM Control

6. 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, Ethernet, keyfob, keypad, or RP as explained below.
For further information on the X10 protocol and the choice of options that are available in programming, see p. 80, 12
Home Automation Programming.

Keypad Control

Using the front panel keypad, the wireless keypad, or EL-2724 Wireless Terminal, you can control HA units and PGM
output with the dedicated Home Automation keys – see Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1: Home Automation Keys (Front Panel keypad or Wireless terminal)
To control HA units or PGM output via the front panel keypad or the wireless keypad or EL-2724 Wireless Terminal:
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 or PGM output via the menu on the 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 to select the HA unit.
4. Use the arrow keys to toggle the ON/OFF command.
5. Press to select the command.
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 p. 48, 7.4.2 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 Communication module. Alternatively, the HA unit or PGM can be controlled by using DTMF commands
during Telecontrol call (either to the cellular or PSTN communication modules). For this feature to function correctly,
Telephone control must be enabled for the specific HA units you want to control (see p. 81, 12.2.6 Telephone Control),
and/or for PGM respectively – see p. 59, 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 p. 37, 5 Telecontrol and Two-Way Audio and p. 38,
5.1.6 HA and PGM DTMF commands.
6.3.2. SMS Command Format
Each SMS command contains the following elements:
SMS Command Descriptor (up to 43 characters of
free text)
# (delimiter – separates the descriptor from the
actual command)
User Code (4 digits)
