Advanced configuration of eHouse PRO System

Web-form for configuration allows you to pre-configure system with templates for all signals, programs. Programs Default no. 0 is used as a template for new programs/scenes/zones creation.

Initial configuration of the controller binary inputs - and security zone mask/matrix definition

Due to very big amount of inputs (256) and zones (256), configuration form contains default presets for input which can be set individualy.
They are automatically copied to Zone "0" which is global template for each newly created zone. Defaults for inputs contains lengths and delay times of each signals:

• Delays and Lengths of signals and Enable flag (Time lengths could be up to ~18h):
  • Alarm (A)
  • Horn (H)
  • Warning (W)
  • Early Warning (E)
  • Monitoring (M)
  • SMS (S)
  • Quiet (Q)
• Status Time to remember (I)
• Inv State

This preset is copied to each input in current zone when 'update defaults' check box was selected during 'Update'.

• Invert - Inverted input mode 0->1
• Alarm Time - Activation of the alarm function
• Alarm Delay - Alarm activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• Horn Time - Activation of the Horn output
• Horn Delay - Horn output activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• Warning Time - Activation of the Warning Light output
• Warning Delay - Warning Light output activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• Early Warning Time - Activation of the Early Warning output
• Early Warning Delay - Early Warning output activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• Monitoring Time - Activation of the Monitoring radio-line output
• Monitoring Delay - Monitoring radio-line output activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• SMS Time - Activation of the SMS notifications
• SMS Delay - SMS notifications activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• Quiet Time - Activation of the Quiet Alarm output
• Quiet Delay - Quiet Alarm output activation delay - if active input state resets before this time, it will not be activated
• State - Time to remember triggering the input
• Event Name - Description of the event/command
• Event Code - Command/event code in hexadecimal format copied from the event/command editor
• Run - Run the configuration command
• Copy - Generating the event code for the configuration of a given input to be copied via the clipboard.

This configuration will be saved on the system server locally or in the cloud after pressing the Update button.
It will be run automatically each time server software is reset.

Initial configuration of the eHouse.PRO binary outputs (on/off) and single outputs programs

The content of this panel has several functions:

• creating advanced events/configuration control commands - writing to the queue (Run)
• creating advanced events/configuration control commands to be copied via the clipboard (Copy)
• initial controller configuration/program (after each reset, and switch the program). The current state of all fields is saved on the system server after pressing the common button Update

Individual configuration options for each output and single outputs programs:
Program "0" contains default settings and is copied to newly created program.

• Disable - Disable output status change. Ignoring control commands for a single output (e.g. when used as a dual output to control blinds / valves servos)
• Admin - Allows you to change some options such as Disable
• Repeats - Number of repetitions of switching on the output (cyclic mode)
• Time On - Time to turn the output on (for On/Toggle command). After this time, the output will be turned off.
• Time Off - Time off the output. This parameter is important if the number of repetitions Repeats is greater than zero
• Run - Run a configuration or output control command - save to a queue (configuration/run in the cloud)
• Copy - Generating an event code to configure or control the output data to be copied via the clipboard.

This configuration will be saved on the system server locally or in the cloud after pressing the "Update" button.
It will be run automatically each time the software is restarted.

Initial configuration of double outputs (open/stop/close) of the controller {drives control}

• creating advanced events / configuration control commands - writing to the queue (Run)
• creating advanced events / configuration control commands to be copied via the clipboard (Copy)
• initial eHouse.PRO configuration (after each reset, or eHouse.PRO program change). The current state of all fields is saved on the system server after pressing the common button "Update"

Individual configuration options for each pair of outputs and drives programs:

• Disable - Output pair change lock. Ignoring control commands for dual outputs (e.g. when used as a single output to control on/off devices)
• Admin - Allows you to change some options, such as Disable, Somfy
• Somfy - drive control mode with Somfy controller (1st line - open, 2nd line - close, both lines - stop). Selecting this mode for a normal drive may damage the drive due to the simultaneous activation of both directions for the stop function
• State - Drives operation (Open, Close, Stop, etc.)
• Repeats - Number of repetitions of switching on outputs (cyclic mode)
• Time On - The time when the outputs are turned on (for the Open/Close command). After this time, the output will be turned off.

• Run - Run a configuration or output control command - save to a queue (configuration/run in the cloud)
• Copy - Generating an event code to configure or control the output data to be copied via the clipboard.

This configuration will be saved on the system server locally or in the cloud after pressing the "Update" button.
It will be run automatically each time the eHouse.PRO server software is reset, or roller program is changed.
