6.3.2 Teaching in to a HomeMatic central control unit
Your device can be conveniently
• controlled and configured,
• connected directly to other devices or
• used in central control programs
by using the HomeMatic software „WebUI". Therefore, your rain
sensor has to be taught-in to the HomeMatic central control unit
first. New devices are taught-in to the central control unit via the
HomeMatic „WebUI".
A soon as a component has been taught-in to a central
control unit, it can only be connected to other components
via this unit.
Each component can only be taught in at one central
control unit.
During teach-in, please make sure you maintain a distance
of at least 50 cm between the HomeMatic devices and the
central control unit.
To teach-in your device to the central control unit, proceed as
follows:
• Open the „WebUI" user interface in your browser. Click the „Teach
in devices" button on the right-hand side of the screen.

• To activate teach-in mode, click „BidCoS-RF teach-in mode".
• Teach-in mode remains activated for 60 seconds. An information
box shows how much teach-in time remains.
• Meanwhile, please activate the teach-in mode of your rain sensor
as well (see sec. 6.3.1).
• After a short time, the newly taught-in device will appear in the in-
box of your software interface. The button „Inbox (x new devices)"
indicates how many new devices have been taught-in successful-
ly.
• If required, you can teach-in additional devices by repeating the
steps described above for each device.
• Now configure the newly taught-in devices in the inbox as descri-
bed in the next section.
6.3.3 Configure device
• Once you have taught-in your device to the HomeMatic central
control unit, it will be moved to the inbox. Here, you must confi-
gure the device and its associated channels in order to make them
available for operating and configuration tasks. Give the device
a name and assign it to a room. You can also make individual
parameter settings.
• Now you can use the „WebUI" user interface to control your de-
vice, configure it, connect it directly with other devices, or use it in
central control unit programs. Please refer to the „WebUI" opera-
ting manual for more details (you can find this in the „Downloads"
area of the website www.homematic.com).
