CONFIGURING HOME & AWAY SYSTEM CONTROLLER GATEWAY
All default system settings are controlled from your MyHome Portal Web site. The
System Configuration page of Home Controller Web site allows you to change settings:
!
Date and time.
!
Home page (title and confirmation preferences).
!
Lights and appliances (renaming).
!
Passwords.
!
Security (Group associations).
!
Telephone.
!
Thermostat.
!
Camera.
Scheduled Control events are based on the date and time information shown in the
System Configuration. If the information is not current, you may experience unexpected
device behavior—light, appliance, and thermostat settings may change unexpectedly.
If your Home & Away System installation includes an Internet connection, the time
and date are set automatically for you. The Home Controller Gateway contacts the NIST
(National Institute of Standards and Technology) time computer once a day, at 3:00 am,
to keep the time and date current. If the Internet connection is lost, the Controller
maintains the time and date based on its internal clock. If there is a power outage
longer than 12 hours, the time and date will be incorrect and you must manually reset
the time and date.
If your installation does not include Internet access, you need to manually set the
current time and date using this page. Once time and date information is set, the Home
Controller maintains the time and date based on its internal clock. If there is a power
outage longer than 12 hours, the time and date will be incorrect and you will need to
manually reset the time and date.
NOTE: Always verify the date and time information on the Date and Time Configuration
page after an interruption in Internet service or a loss of power.
On the System Configuration page, select Date & Time from the Show settings for list,
then select current time and date from the drop-down lists and option buttons displayed
on the right to set the time, day, date, and year.
Home & Away System allows you to personalize the MyHome Portal page by changing
its title. You can also use this configuration area to select whether the Home Controller
confirms new Lifestyle and Schedule settings.
During Home & Away System installation, the Home Controller Gateway is installed with
the confirmation box option activated. Whenever you change Lifestyles or Schedules
from the MyHome Portal, a dialog box appears for you to confirm the change. (To close
the confirmation box and continue with the Lifestyle or Schedule activation, click OK.
Click Cancel if you decide not to activate the Lifestyle or Schedule.)
On the System Configuration page, select Home Page from the Show settings for list,
then click in the box labeled Enter the Home Page title, and type in the new title. Titles
must be 21 characters or less.
