  • Page 4: Important Considerations

    Important considerations Some KNX / IP Routers – Gateways only allow one simultaneous active connection, preventing that more than one iPhone/iPad is connected at the same time. Besides, in situations with low WIFI coverage, it is possible that the application does not reconnect as it should, then it appears the error of maximum number of simultaneous connections.

  • Page 5: Introduction

    Now, the application will execute in demonstration mode. You can see a sample of the interface and navigate through the menus, but not controlling your house. To allow Houseinhand® to control your house, two files must be transferred to it:  xxxxxxx.cfg: This file contains the necessary configuration information for the application to recognize your house.
  • Page 6 Send the file you want to load to the mail account configured in your device. Launch Mail app and open the mail you have sent. Click on the file you want to load and select “Open with Houseinhand” That is all. Houseinhand® will be opened with the file load automatically.
  • Page 7 Another way to transfer the files to your device is the File Sharing method. Open iTunes. Select the device you want to configure in the left side bar. Select the Applications tab.
  • Page 8 ‘File Sharing’ and select Houseinhand®. Click in the button ‘add’ and select the files. That is all. Next time you start Houseinhand® in your device, the application will recognize your house and it will be ready to control it (please see next section,...

  • Page 9: Multitask

     Press twice the Home button (physical button in the lower part of your device).  Once the multitask bar is opened, keep the finger on any of the icons until they start to tremble.  Press on the red button that appears in the Houseinhand® icon and the application will close completely.

  • Page 10: Program Installation

    Program installation Installation In order to be able to configure the house, it is necessary to download Houseinhand Designer from the download section of the web site www.houseinhand.com Once the program is downloaded, execute the installer. It will appear a window as the one below: Once selected the directory where the program will be installed, press “Install”...

  • Page 11: First Steps

    First steps General vision Now, launch the program from the desktop shortcut. The main window of the application will appear. From there, you can create a new configuration, modify an existing one, export the current configuration and consult the user’s guide. As we will see later, the structure of the configuration is carried out hierarchically, that is to say, it is necessary to create every room (that would be the top level) and, later, adding all those devices that this room should have.

  • Page 12: Room Management

    Room management The management of the different rooms of the house is carried out using the add/delete/duplicate buttons. When adding a room, there will appear the name, PIN, color (only for the iPad version) and room image options.

  • Page 13: Device Management

    Device management Same as previous case of adding a room, the Add/Delete buttons allow the devices management inside a room. To add a device click the add device button. Next, we will be asked the name, device family and the type of the device we want to control.

  • Page 14: Diagram Functions

    The up/down buttons allow the user to change the order of the devices and rooms. Houseinhand® will display the devices and rooms in the same order as they are displayed in Houseinhand® Designer.

  • Page 15: Devices

    Devices Simple light / 1 bit generic control These two types of devices correspond to the Boolean control of lights or generic on/off elements.

  • Page 16: Byte Generic Control

    1 Byte Generic control This type of device allows the adjustment of up to 5 values (each one from 0 to 255), in just one 1 Byte group address. Moreover, it allows personalizing the text of each segment to help the user to easily identify the functionality of each segment and activating a status flag to monitor the status of the device The status enabling: Enable status: When active, status from the selected device is returned.
  • Page 17 Third value to send (0-255): Value that will be sent when tapping this segment, through the 1 byte group direction. Text third value: Text that will appear in the corresponding segment.
