Operating possibilities
Irrespective of the active operating mode you can always ...
•
... directly operate a device, shutter or heating manually
•
... change a setpoint manually by using the Hometronic
Manager.
Automatic mode
Automatic mode is the standard operating mode of the Homet-
ronic Manager. In automatic mode the heating, shutters and
lamps/devices are controlled via time programs.
A time program...
... consists of a sequence of setpoints and corresponding switch-
ing points. You specify a time program for every module or every
room.
A setpoint...
... is a value which stipulates a specification, e.g. which tempera-
ture is to rule in a room. If the setpoint temperature is e.g. speci-
fied as 21 °C, the Hometronic regulates the room temperature to
this value.
Setpoints can be changed manually at any time. This change is
in effect until the next switching point.
Additional setpoints are, e.g.
•
Brightness of a lamp
•
Opening width and slat inclination of a shutter.
