GENERAL PRESENTATION General characteristics Presentation Impresario Chronis RTS is a remote control that lets you drive up to 20 products compatible with Somfy (RTS) radio technology. The following product categories can be controlled by the Impresario Chronis RTS remote control: •...
Introduction Scenarios for your home The Impresario Chronis RTS remote control lets you create your own scenarios to match your needs (amount of light, degree of heat, simulating a presence, etc.). Whether wall mounted in automatic mode or hand held in manual mode, your Impresario Chronis RTS remote control will drive your products to reproduce the scenarios recorded at the right time.
A preset typical week is available as soon as you set your system into service: “Week-sy” (described in Table 2 in the “Programming” chapter).
