The
Honeywell Hometronic Manager
You can control your whole house
from a central location using the Honeywell Hometronic
Manager - Smart Controls – you can choose almost
anywhere to locate the Manager, it only needs a power supply,
no other wiring.
The simple user smart controls allow you to adjust times,
temperatures, blind positions, light levels very easily;
- Four line LCD display with backlight
- Push and turn wheel for easy
programming
- Return button
- Auto/Manual button with LED
display
- ECO button for energy saving
- 6 Dedicated lifestyle buttons
(Total 16 lifestyles)
You can control up to 16 different
rooms (zones) of heating (and cooling); the rooms can be given
real names of your choice (e.g. “Mikes Room”).
Got more than 16 rooms ? No-problem, just use another Honeywell
Hometronic Manager – the patented radio technology means
that you can have as many Managers and controlled devices
in your house as you need, with no interference.
In addition to the 16 rooms, you
can have up to 16 sensors and 32 modules for switching or
dimming lights, controlling blinds, all responding to the
signals from one Honeywell Hometronic Manager.
Time Programming is virtually limitless;
you can define up to 1600 switching points per week for each
zone and device. The switching points allow you to set, for
instance, different temperatures for a room at different times
of the day.
You may wish, for instance, the
reception rooms and kitchen to be at a cooler temperature
during the daytime, when you are moving around, than in the
evening, when you are sitting still relaxing, maybe watching
TV. |

 Lifestyles
Lifestyles are a feature unique to Hometronic. This great idea allows
you to put your whole house, or just part of it, into a different
operating mode when you want to use your house in a different way.
For instance, you might have guests staying in your house. Wouldn’t
it be nice to be able to turn up the heating in their room, even
turn on power to the TV in their room, just from the touch of a
button downstairs ? Better still, when they leave, you can turn
it all off again.
Also, when you leave the house, you could arrange for the “away”
lifestyle to reduce all room temperatures to a “fabric protection”
level, turn off some lights, put other lights into “presence
simulation” mode (where they play back a learnt pattern, to
make it look like you are still at home), close blinds or security
shutters and so on.
Special alarm “lifestyles” can be set up to take special
actions on certain events happening; you could make the automatic
windows close, for example, if it began to rain. You could shut
down the mains water supply if the kitchen floor began to flood.
16 different Lifestyles can be set up in each Hometronic Manager.
The unit comes with factory default settings, so Lifestyles will
work even if you don’t set them up yourself.
Lifestyles can be triggered by pushing one of
the 6 dedicated buttons on the front of the Honeywell Hometronic
Manager, or by using the “push and turn” wheel. You
can also time and delay the start of a lifestyle (for instance,
you can set the duration of a vacation, so that the house is nice
and warm when you return).
You can also use external events (e.g. a Fire
Alarm) to trigger a Lifestyle
Home Automation Systems using
the Honeywell Hometronic Manager Smart Controls |
