Your Home & Away System can use either X10 lighting or OnQ ALC Lighting. ALC
Lighting provides reliable hard-wired control of your lights where X10 lighting provides
added flexibility. You can use any combination of ALC Lighting and X10 lighting in your
Home & Away System. You can change the device name on either the X10 or ALC
Lighting; however, you can change the address only on your X10 lighting. To change a
device name, select the desired device from the light or appliance pull-down list and
click its associated Edit button. A dialog box appears. Change the device name by
selecting the current name and typing in the new name. Changing a device name will
not interfere with device operation.
Generally, you should not have to change the House Code or Unit Code of any light or
appliance, after the Installer has configured the system. However, it is possible to
experience interference from X10 devices in neighboring homes. For example, a
neighbor may have all his/her X10 devices configured with the House Code C. So each
time your neighbor activates a device, your Home Controller activates all devices in your
home with the House Code C. This is not a problem when you are using OnQ ALC
Lighting. If this occurs, you should change the House Code of all devices experiencing
interference. Do not change the House Code or unit codes if you are using ALC
Lighting.
To change a device code, select the desired device from the light or appliance pull-down
list and click its associated Edit button. A dialog box will appear. Change the House
Code by clicking on a new letter in the red dial. Change the Unit Code by clicking on a
new number in the black dial.
Note: To decrease the probability of experiencing interference from X10 devices or
systems outside your home, do not use the House Codes A or P. (A is the
default house code assigned to all X10 devices. P is the code reserved for X10
testing equipment.) If a neighbor is testing an X10 device or used the X10
modules as configured by the manufacturer, interference with your Home
Controller System may occur.
To add a new X10 light or appliance to the Home & Away System, go to the System
Configuration page and select Add/delete devices. Enter the House Code, unit code,
device type and device name. Select Apply.
If you wish to remove an existing light or appliance from the Home & Away System, go
to the System Configuration Page and Select Add/delete devices. Select the device
from the pulldown list and select Delete.
NOTE: Unplugging a light or appliance from the its associated X10 module and
removing the module from the outlet prevents the device from being controlled
by the Home & Away Controller. However, the device name continues to appear
in the MyHome Portal Web site.
The Home & Away System uses two different passwords:
!
If your Home & Away System is configured with a security package, you will
have a security user code. You are required to use this code each time you
change security states (such as from Arm to Disarm). Make changes to the
security user code on the security system keypad interface in your house.
!
The remote access code identifies you as an authorized user of your
MyHome Portal Web page. This code is required when logging into the System
from the telephone or the Internet. Change the remote access code in the
System Configuration on the MyHome Portal Web site.
