Environment Zones - Webdyn home Installation Manual

The currently available interface types are listed above :
EIB : This is an interface driver that assigns a Webdynhome RS232 port to the EIB
(European Interface Bus). In order to perform the physical connection you must
procure a suitable EIB modem. The model currently tested comes from Hager and is
a TH001 with a BCU2.0
X10 : X10 is a widely used power line protocol for which there are many low cost
control modules. The Webdynhome connects to this interface using a CM11
connected to one of the Webdynhome serial ports.
Important note :
The standard Webdynhome user interface now includes the status of the different
environmental devices (lamps, motorized elements etc). It must however be noted
that the "real status" of a device depends on the type of interface. EIB offers a fully
bi-directional interface and as such the indicated status will always be correct. The
X10 control modules currently supported by the Webdynhome are not bi-directional
and so the status indicated on the Webdynhome user screen will only reflect the last
command sent by the Webdynhome. Any native Webdynhome interfaces (relay
today) are obviously known by the Webdynhome and will always be indicated
correctly.

7.3 Environment zones

The environmental equipment controlled by the Webdynhome is grouped into zones.
A zone may be a physical or logical collection of elements.
