Doc 1.4

Example:
Since the bedroom is on the first floor, we will use a sub-consumer unit. The power supply and the evonHOME controller are placed into the main consumer unit and the bus extension and the module for the bedroom in the sub-consumer unit. Both consumer units are connected to each other with the bus cable (CAT5) and the 24V power supply cable.

Before your activate your evonHOME app, make sure you are connected to the same network as your evonHOME controller. Simply go to the WLAN settings on your device and check the currently selected WLAN, or connect to the correct one.

Once you have successfully installed the app via the AppStore, the app is located on the home screen. You can start the app directly from here. After a short time to load the app, you will see the start page of the app.

From here, search for the available evonHOME systems. The selection is either a connection via a local Wi-Fi/WLAN or the internet (e.g. mobile network provider via a secure HTTPS connection).

The evonHOME app will now search for all system in your network. As soon as one or more have been found, they will be displayed along with their allocated IP address. Your new system will be listed with the default name evonHOME + unique identification number (e.g. evonHOME_1234AB9). You can change the name later, if your wish.

Once you have selected your evonHOME system, the next thing you must do is login.

After selecting the evonHOME system, you will find yourself on the login page.

Enter your username and password. You can also determine whether you wish in future to login automatically with your login data.

To make it easier for you to login to your evonHOME on your first configuration, there is also the option to do this by using a QR-code. Use the green button on the top right corner of the login screen to use this feature.

Point the camera at the QR-code, which you will find in your enclosed documents, and position it at the center of the marked area. once the QR-code ist successfully recognized, the associated login field will be filled in.

You have now successfully connected to your evonHOME system and can start to control your home.

Besides accessing your evonHOME system with the official app, you can also connect to it with any modern browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari, Edge). You only have to know the IP-Adress (Which is displayed in the app once your system is found).

When you enter the address in the url bar of your browser, you will be directed to the login page, where you will have to enter your credentials. You can then use your evonHOME system like you are used to.

Activate the function for external access in the settings by placing a tick next to it.

As soon as you have activated the function, the displayed status changes from “not connected” to “connected” and the evonHOME ID appears. This ID is required to connect you to your evonHOME system. It is a good idea to write this ID down, you will need it in the next step.

This evonHOME ID gives you the ability to access your system from a normal web browser (via
my.evon-home.com).

Return to the main screen. On the top left is your current username. If you click on it, the logout button will appear. Logout via this button.

You will now be on the start screen of the evonHOME app, which shows a list of all your previously connected systems.

Click on “new” to create a new connection. You will now see an overview of all possible connection types, as described previously.

Select “internet” as the connection type. You must enter the evonHOME ID in the next screen, along with your username and password. When done, connect via the button at the bottom of the screen.

As soon as you have successfully connected to your evonHOME system via the external connection, this connection will appear on the start page of your evonHOME app. You can now easily select this connection at any time.

Once you activate the external access, you can connect to your evonHOME system from every supported browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge).

Go to the website my.evon-home.com and login with your credentials. In addition to your user name and password, your will also require the evonHOME ID, which you received by activating the external access.

Once you have logged in, your username is displayed at the top left of the screen. Clicking on your username opens a menu where you can logout.

A single click on the symbol (top right) opens all apps. This shows you all available apps. If you don’t want “all apps” open all the time, you can put frequently used apps into your favourites, as follows.

Favourites lets you store apps that you use on a frequent basis.

If you want to add something to your favourites, mark the app (press the app with your finger/your cursor until a blue bar appears below) and select “add to start”.

If you want to remove something from your favourites, mark the app and select “remove from start”.

Marked apps can also be moved and sorted.

After the favourites are your areas. First up are your floors (ground floor and first floor in the diagram) and below that your areas and rooms. However, only those areas that contain something are displayed. For example, if a light is added to the room “bedroom”, the bedroom will be displayed.

This is the basic representation of every app in the system. A single click/press on this display opens the app view and its functions can be used and/or changed.

As long as you have an app open, you can also open its view. This shows you all content and functions that are available to you. In the case of the light app, the items displayed include all connected lights and the group functions.

The group function can vary from app to app, but is mainly used to create new elements or to operate several available elements. Taking the app “lights” as an example, it can be used to switch all available lights on or off. In other cases, such as “user”, you can add new users.

This display represents a single element in the app. In the case of “lights” every single one of your connected lights is displayed like this. The display is divided into several individual sections, each one serving a different purpose. The area on the left contains operating elements in the form of one or more buttons that you can use to control the element (e.g. light on/off). Then there is a text area containing information such as the name and the allocated area. On the right, many apps have a status display showing you the current status of the element. Fo lights, you can see whether the light is on or off, or (if the energy saving mode is active) when the light will be switched off.

Clicking /pressing the text area of an element opens the settings screen where you can change the app name, allocated areas and functions as you wish.

This display offers you various information and settings possibilities for the selected element and is divided into several sections. On the top right are small buttons that let you jump into other areas. The first section contains the most important operating elements via which you can operate the selected element and, depending on the app, various items of basic information.

The second section contains the settings that you can change for that element. These allow you to change the behaviour of individual element to suit your needs.

This section shows you al the links for your element. This gives you an overview, should you desire it, of which switches or functions affect the element. You can also link the element with other elements, depending on the app. For example, in the app “lights”, you have the possibility to link a light with a motion sensor.

In the settings view, most of the apps have a button on the top right allowing you to access the official documentation.

In order to add rooms, areas and floors to your evonHOME, simply tap on the corresponding element (e.g. “add room”). This automatically opens the operator panel for the added element. Enter the name into the field “name” and an abbreviation in the field “abbreviation” for the room. If you want to allocate this new room to a floor, simply select the floor you want. If you want to move the area back to the highest level, select the empty entry in “area, floors”.

Alternatively you can first navigate to a floor and add a room there.

If you wish to personalize your rooms, you can select colour, icon and background picture for your room. Do this by opening the operator panel for the room via in “settings” – “areas, rooms” and select the element under “settings” and modify it.

Open the area via the button “edit” and view the elements for this area. If you want a shortcut to an area, simply click on the area of the symbol in the object panel (left).

You can also link each room with a room thermostat. Do this by allocating an element to this room in the app room climate. If you have allocated more than one room thermostat to a room, you can use the parameter panel of the room to select the room thermostat you wish to use for the room temperature display.

Open “lights”, “blinds” or “room climate”, depending on the items you wish to modify the names and rooms.

The app shows you a list of central functions and below that a list of your elements – this corresponds to the channels of your evonHOME modules. More detail concerning the central functions can be found in the corresponding documentation.

Tap on the area that displays the name and the room, in this case “ no name”, “no room” to open the settings for this device.

Enter the name of the device in the field “name”. You can type any name in here, or use a predefined name by tapping on the small arrow.

Tap on the field to select a room. The system already has a predefined few names that you can use. If you cannot find a suitable room in the list, create one in the settings -> areas and custom rooms.

You do not need to specifically save your changes, simply tap on the arrow symbol in the menu bar.

You can add a new user here or configure an existing one. To add a new user, simply select “add user”. This opens a panel where you can enter the user name and an optional description. Enter a password for the user so that you can login using the username.

The settings can be modified for a user group that already exists, or a new one can be created. To create a new user group, click on the element “add group”. This opens a panel where you can enter the name of the group (e.g. “guests”), and assign colour and an icon.

You can switch a light on or off via the “power symbol” on the left side. The right-hand side of the panel shows you whether the light is currently switched on or off. Clicking on the element takes you into the extended operation or configuration of this light. You can switch the light on or off by clicking on the bulb symbol.

If you have a dimmable light, you can switch in on or off via the object panel. Of course, you can also control this dimmable light via the operator panel by setting the circular slider around the light to the desired value.

Switch on with
If you want this light to be switched on as soon as another is switched on, then use the function “switch on with”. The button “select” lets you select the other light you wish to link to this one.

Bewegungsmelder/Taster hinzufügen
Further presence detectors or buttons can be defined in one light channel to control the light.

The function of the linked button or presence detector depends on the autonomous light function, i.e. whether the button or presence detector mode has been selected.

Daylight-lock-delayed switching
To configure the daylight lock, navigate to settings and select lights. You can adjust how many minutes after dusk you want the daylight lock to be deactivated and how many minutes after dawn you wish the daylight lock to be activated. In other words, if your evonHOME registers dusk at 8pm and you have set 10 minutes, then the daylight lock will be deactivated at 8:10pm.

You can open or close your shading element using the arrows in the left-hand side of the object panel. The right-hand side of the panel shows the current position and the angle of the blinds.

You can also operate each blind element via the operator panel by using the sliders on the right and on the left, or dragging the point in the middle of this window to the desired position. If you have defined a favourite position and wish to use it, simply click on the button “go to favourite position”.

Connect with
If you want two shading elements to always have the same position and slat angle, then use this “connect with”. Navigate to “connect with” and press “select” to choose the shading element you wish to connect to.

Mode
Short button press – completely up: If the blinds button is pressed for a short period of time, then the blinds will travel in the desired direction until either the blinds are fully open/closed, or a further press of the button causes them to stop where they are. A long button press sets the angle for the slats, i.e. after a wait time to correctly identify a long button press, the blind slats begin to turn until the button is released.

Short button press - set slats: A short button press changes the angle of the blinds and a long button press completely opens or closes the jalousie. A second button press interrupts the travel and the jalousie stops where it is.

Over-travel time
The over-travel time lets you define the percent of time to increase the time that the jalousie takes for completely UP to completely DOWN. This makes sure that the blinds are really open or closed.

Activate wind lock
If you have activated this option, then all shading elements are closed if it is windy. If you want to exempt elements from this wind lock, it can be done for each individual element.

Close at twilight
If “close at twilight” is selected, then all blinds will close as soon as twilight is detected. If you do not want all blinds to close at twilight, then deactivate “close at twilight” for each individual blind. In addition, you can also delay the closing at twilight by entering the number of minutes you wish to wait after twilight until the blinds close.

Clicking on the left-hand area of the object panel switches back and forth between comfort mode and energy saving mode.

You can also select the operating mode using the three buttons located next to each other in the operator panel. The desired temperature can be adjusted in the circle above these buttons via the “+” and “-“ buttons, or you can simply click on the position in the circle that you want.

Window contact
To ensure that heating is suspended when a window is open, you can add as many windows as you want via the button “add”. If one of these windows is opened, the heating will automatically enter into frost protection mode. As soon as the window is closed, comfort mode will be reactivated.

Can cool
If your heating system supports cooling, then you can activate this option. Warning! If your heating is not suitable for cooling, using this option could lead to malfunction. If in doubt, please contact a heating specialist.

These switches can be found under “all apps” – “switches”.

You can find motion detectors under “all apps” –“motion detectors”.

You can find the app “digital inputs” under “all apps” – “digital inputs”.

The app “digital outputs” is located under “all apps” – “digital outputs”.

You have two possibilities to change the state of a digital output. Either you can click on the power symbol on the left in the object panel or you can click on the button “switch” in the operator panel.

The app “sockets” can be found under “all apps” – “sockets”.

You have two possibilities to change the state of a socket. Either you can click on the power symbol on the left in the object panel or you can click on the button “toggle” in the operator panel.

The analog inputs are located under “all apps” – “analog inputs”.

The analog outputs can be found under “all apps” –“analog output”.

The temperature sensors can be found under “all apps” – “temperature”.

This is where you determine whether you have Internet access to your evonHOME. If external access is active, then you can access your evonHOME using your evonHOME ID from anywhere.

The updates screen lets you make sure your evonHOME is up-to-date. Simply click the button “search for updates” and if an update is available, click “execute update”. If you wish your system to automatically search for updates, activate the setting “search for updates automatically” in the operator panel. You can also see the current version and the time of the last update and the update channel here.

Furthermore, you can create recovery points, which allow you to reset your evonHOME to an earlier state if you have inadvertently maladjusted parameters. Such recovery points are recommended once you have named all your lights, blinds, etc. and have set them up as you require. Use the button “reset to factory setting” to reset your evonHOME to the original factory settings.

Saved recovery points will be shown in a list, where you can delete, recover, or download them at any time.

You can create one recovery point per day. If you create more, only the last one will be saved. In addition, you can also restore your system with a downloaded recovery file by using the button 'restore local restore point'.

A recovery point of your current configuration is created automatically before every update.

Project name
You can give your evonHOME any name you like in the system settings.

Controller new start
This function restarts your system. Note that while the system is restarting, you do not have a connection to the CPU.

Manifest
This item shows you whether your visualization is up-to-date. The setting “automatic reload” lets you update your visualization automatically if it is not up-to-date.

You can also look at cycle times. This is an indication of the load on your evonHOME system. You can also see the last five peak values. The cycle time is the time required for a complete run of the program.

The time zone lets you allocate the desired time zone to your controller. The item “set time” allows you to set the time in the controller. The button “use client time” allocates the time used by your device (mobile phone, tablet) to the controller. The button “set time manually” lets you set the time and the date for your controller yourself.

This area contains all network settings for the network used by your evonHOME. You can also configure whether the IP address and DNS server should be automatically allocated, or whether you wish to define them yourself.

You can either send a test email or you can select “send email” in the “system” tab in a scene “if …” statement. Then all you need to do is enter the sender, recipient, subject and text.

If you wish to register with your Gmail account, then you must allow “less secure apps” in your Gmail account. Simply open the link to the Google Config and click “activate”.

You can edit the pre-defined names in the dictionary. These names will be suggested to you when you wish to name a light, a blind, etc. However, you can even select a different name when naming your elements. The names in the dictionary are only a guide.

The “devices” app is under “all apps” – “settings” – “devices”.

If you open the line, the first thing you will see at the top is general information about the line. The item “cycle time” lets you define the cycle time for your bus line (standard is 200 ms). “Required cycle time” shows the time that is required for the operations. “Total cycle time” is the time required by the bus for a cycle. “Peak” is the peak value of the cycle time. This can be reset using the button “reset peak”.

By opening a module (click on the right-hand area), you will see all necessary information pertaining to this module. The button “display channels” displays the available channels in this module. The button “reset” resets a module, meaning that this module is reset to factors settings.

Click on the left-hand are of the object panel or on the button “displays channels) in the operator panel to see a list of module channels. Taking a light module as an example, you will be able to see the four channels with their corresponding button/movement detector and a light. This is the exact order that the button/movement detector and light are connected to the module, i.e. channel 1 is the light that is connected on the far left of the module.

To add a trigger condition, click in the area “IF” on the button “add” and a window will open where you can add a trigger condition.
For example, if you add a button then you have three options:

• Pressed
• More press
• Double press

Click on the button “add” in the area “THEN” to select the action you wish to be invoked from the window that opens. For example, you have the possibility to switch lights on or off, to close shading elements or to move them to a specific position, etc.

For example, if you wish to move the blinds to a specific position, then you are offered the opportunity to define the exact position of this blind and the angle of the slats.

The first thing you need is a weekly programme. Create the weekly programme in the app “clock” and select “add clock”, then “weekly programme”. Next, name your weekly programme in the operator panel (e.g. garden irrigation).

Now select the day the irrigation system should be active via the “+” button. In the window that opens, define the two times “from “ and “to”. This means the irrigation system should be active between these times (e.g. Monday from 8 am to 10 am). When you have done this, you can see the time until the next switch point at the top of the operator panel.

Once you have entered all the times when you want the irrigation system to be active, you can change to the parameter panel. If you wish the irrigation system to be active outside of the defined times, you can select under “additional trigger” the trigger that you want to also activate the irrigation system (e.g. a switch is pressed). In the item “runtime for additional trigger”, you need to define how long the irrigation system should be active if you activate it via a switch.

Now all you need to do is link the digital output with the weekly programme. You do this via a scene.

Create a scene, select “add” in the IF section and select your weekly programme, then click on “activate”. Select the digital output under “THEN” and select “ON”. Then create another scene and select the weekly programme for “IF” and select “OFF”
Now your garden irrigation system is ready. Make further adjustments to the weekly programme as required.

If you want to activate a status via the visualization, you can do this either in the left-hand area of the corresponding object panel or via the operator panel using the button “execute”.

The status that is currently active is displayed both in the object panel and in the house status panel. If you drag the house status to your favourites, then the current active status is displayed there too.

The house status panel not only displays the current status of your house, but also if dawn/dusk, rain or wind are active. You can configure where this information comes from in the “global settings”.

You can easily add a new status for your evonHOME. To add a new house status, click on the element “create status”. The operator panel opens and lets you first allocate a name to your house status. Once named, you can then continue with the configuration (described below).

Each status can be given a name and an icon that is displayed in your evonHOME.

Button to activate this status
Select the button here that allows you to activate the corresponding status

Action when activated
Select here the action that is to be invoked when the corresponding house status is activated.

Action when de-activated
Select here the action that is to be invoked when the corresponding house status is de-activated

Mounting
Mount the weather station following the documentation (follow the instructions concerning the direction and distances carefully)

Connecting
Connect the evonHOME weather station 2-wire bus cable to the evonHOME CPU iX800 – ensure the polarity is correct (A-B) (recommended cable J-Y(ST)Y 2 x 2 x 0,8).

Power supply
Supply the evonHOME weather station with power (see documentation).

Add
Add a new weather station. If you have done everything correctly, a connection is established and your weather data are updated every second.

Wind alarm settings
The wind alarm settings let you define a wind speed above which an alarm is triggered. You can also define hysteresis so that the wind alarm does not trigger and end continuously should the wind speed oscillate around the alarm value. If you want that the wind alarm is active only after a certain time, then you need to enter a delay. This means that this time must be longer than the time set for “wind speed alarm”, so that a wind alarm is triggered.

Dawn/dusk settings
These settings let you define the light levels when dusk/dawn is active and inactive. Hysteresis and delay have the same functions as described previously.

In the Operatorpanel of the Weather Station, you will find several statistics and charts, which provide you with an insight on the measured values.

Click on the element “add weather station” to add a new weather station. This opens the operator panel where you need to define a name for your weather station. Enter the API key and your location in the item “weather underground API key”. This is provided by WeatherUnderground (http://www.wunderground.com) once you have registered there. Once you have done this successfully, you will receive weather data for the specified location.

If you want the use this weather station for your evonHOME, then drag this weather station to the first position for wind, rain, outside temperature and daylight in the app “global priorities”. (For example, if you only want to use the outside temperature of this station, then only drag the weather station to the first position for the outside temperature).

Wind alarm settings
This is where you define the wind speed that you wish to trigger an alarm. If you also wish to define hysteresis and a delay, then activate the option “extended settings” and select hysteresis and delay. If the wind speed exceeds the value defined for wind alarm, then the alarm is triggered. Now the wind speed must fall below the defined hysteresis value (below the wind speed alarm value) for the alarm to be reset. The delay defines how the wind speed must be above the defined limit for the alarm to be triggered.

Offset
If you are not satisfied with the time for sunset and sunrise, you can change then by activating the option “change sunrise and sunset times” and changing the times accordingly.

Camera
This field lets you select a camera for this door. The camera image is then always displayed on the operator panel.

Bellpush
Use the button “add” to add one or more buttons you wish to use to ring the doorbell.

Doorbell
Select the digital output that is connected with the doorbell.

Door opener
Select the digital output connected to the door opener using the button “add”.

Signal light
If you in a room where it is not possible to hear the doorbell, you can select a light in this room that will flash when someone rings the doorbell

Number of flashes
Define the number of times the signal light is to flash when someone rings the doorbell.

Signal light on time
Defines how long the signal flash is to be.

Door open time
Defines how long the door remains open, if you open it via the app.

Doorbell time
Defines how long the digital output for the doorbell is to remain active.

Melody
If you want a melody to play on your smartphone, or tablet etc. when someone rings the doorbell, then you can choose here between two melodies.

Simulate
You can simulate the doorbell button press using the button “ring” to test whether you have satisfactorily configured all options according to your requirements. This has the same effect as if someone had really pressed the doorbell.

Notifications of open windows and rain/wind
If you wish to receive a notification if a window is open and it is raining or is windy, then you must activate this option.

The item “open windows” shows you a list of all open windows. The button “update” reloads the list of all open windows.

If the alarm system or one or more alarm groups have been activated, the defined activation delay for each alarm group must first expire before the alarm can be triggered. Once the activation delay has expired, if a movement detector is triggered then a trigger delay is activated. During this time, the alarm system can be de-activated without an alarm being triggered. Once the trigger delay has expired, the silent alarm is triggered and a notification is sent. Once the silent alarm time has expired, the actual alarm is triggered and a further notification is sent and the outputs linked to the alarm system are switched.

If you want to activate the alarm system, you can either do this via the app by opening the alarm system (“all apps” –“alarm system”) and select the button “activate” in the operator panel for the alarm system, or you define a button to activate the alarm and you use this button (how you do this is described in the chapter configuration). Deactivating the alarm is done the same way via the app, only that you have to enter a password. Deactivation via a button works identically to activation.

Duration of silent alarm
Enter the time for silent alarm here.

Automatically deactivate alarm after
Automatically deactivates the alarm after expiration of this time. This is important if you are holiday and something triggers the alarm. If this option was not available, the alarm would never switch off and your neighbours would not be too pleased with you.

Duration of patrol
This is the time the alarm should be deactivated for while you make a patrol.

Button to activate the alarm system
Select a button to activate the alarm system.

Button to deactivate the alarm system
Use the button “add” to select a button to deactivate the alarm system. Warning! This button can deactivate the alarm system without a password. Consider the use of such a button carefully.

Button to end patrol
Select a button to tell the system you have completed your patrol.

Status light
Select a light that will flash twice when the alarm system has been activated and once when deactivated.

Actions when alarm triggers
Use the button “add” to select all the actions you wish to happen when an alarm is triggered (e.g. switch lights on, activate siren, etc.).

Actions when alarm stops
Select what should happen when the alarm is deactivated. Caution! Do not forget to deactivate the actions started when the alarm was triggered.

Change password
Change the password to deactivate your alarm system.

To add a new bathroom heater, click on the element “add”. First allocate a name to your bathroom heater in the parameter panel, then you can continue with the configuration (described below).

Additional trigger
Select the trigger and the duration for which the bathroom heater should additionally be activated for a short period of time.

Select socket
This lets you define which socket your bathroom heater is connected to.

Maintenance mode
This lets you permanently switch the maintenance mode for the bathroom heater on or off.

To add a new circulation pump, click on the element “add circulation pump”. The next step is to allocate a name for your circulation pump in the parameter panel. Then you can continue with the configuration (described below).

Active interval during operating time
Define the intervals within the operating time you wish to circulation pump to be active.

Additional trigger
Select the trigger and the duration for which the circulation pump should be additional active for a short period of time.

Select socket
Define which socket the circulation pump is connected to.

Maintenance
Switch the circulation pump permanently on or off for maintenance purposes.

Click on the element “add mixer control” to create a new mixer circuit controller. The next step is to give your mixer circuit control a name, and then you can continue with the configuration.

The operator panel displays a schematic of the control. This diagram shows you whether the pump is on (screw in the pump is green and rotates) or off. Displayed adjacently is the current temperature of the feed line and to the right the current position of the mixer valve and whether it is open or closed.

All relevant values pertaining to your mixer circuit control are displayed below this.

If your mixer valve is unreferenced, i.e. the current position of the valve is unknown, then the button “execute reference” is displayed. Clicking on it closes the valve completely; hence the current position is known. The mixer circuit control must be fully configured before a reference can be executed.

The heating curve allows you to adjust the desired temperature of the feed line as a function of the outside temperature.

There are pre-defined curves you can select from using “select curve type”. If there is no pre-defined curve that entirely suits your needs, then you can edit the pre-defined curves by clicking on “edit”. The selection then jumps to “user-defined”. If you wish to save your curve, click on “save”. Saved curves can be deleted using “delete”. When selecting points, you are limited on the one hand by the minimum and maximum feed line temperature, and on the other by the previous and subsequent point. For example, the point at 10 °C outside temperature cannot have a lower feed line temperature than the point at 15°C and a higher temperature than the point at 5°C.

If the outside temperature reaches a value outside of the curve, then the curve is continued horizontally. This means if the curve were to end on the left-hand side at an outside temperature of +20°C with a corresponding feed line temperature of +22°C, then the feed line temperature for outside temperatures higher than +20°C will remain +22°C.

To be able to process outside temperatures higher than +20°C, the cooling operation must be activated under “all apps” – “settings” – “room climate”. Warning! Cooling operation may only be activated if the heating is really able to cool, since in cooling mode, the mixer outputs are switched exactly the opposite way.

Enter the runtime for the mixer valve in seconds according to the manufacturer in “manufacturer mixer valve runtime [s]”. If the value you entered was correct, then you must now click on the button “execute reference run”. Please note that you must have previously correctly set the inputs and outputs.

The field “overrun time” lets you how much longer in percent the mixer output remains switched on when completely open or closed. This guarantees that the mixer is subsequently really completely open or closed.

Since a mixer valve normally requires longer to close than to open, you can use the “multiplier mixer closed” to define how much longer the valve needs to close than open.

Since there is always a certain error when opening and closing the valve, a calibration run must be run daily. All you have to do is set the desired time for this to occur and the rest is done automatically.

Feed line actual temperature
Select the input here that measures the actual temperature of the feed line.

Outside temperature
Select here the input used to measure the outside temperature. The standard setting is located in “system” – “house status” – “outside temperature”.

Select an output to be switched if there is a fault.

Sample time
This is the time period when a new position of the valve is calculated (standard 10s).

Minimum error
The position of the valve is only adjusted if there is a difference between desired and actual temperature of the feed line. If the difference (error) is larger than this value, then the position of the valve is changed.

Activate notification
If you wish to receive a notification of a fault condition, then activate this option.

In order to create a camera, click on the box “add new evonCAM” inside the app.

All found evonCams including a preview image will now be listed in the popup which appears. Once your camera shows up on this list you can select it and it will be added to your system and is ready to be used.

If your camera ist not immediately found in your network, you have the option to restart the search or to configure it yourself. In this case a camera will be added for which you have to add the required settings (IP address, username, password).

If you followed the steps to integrate your evonCAM and the camera was found and added to your system, no further configuration is required.

In case you chose the manual configuration (e.g. because the camera was not automatically found in your network), you can change or adapt the required settings at any time in the ParameterPanel of the camera.

This can also be necessary, when you make changes to the standard username/password or the IP address.

The camera panel supports two different sizes. If you hold down your finger (cursor+left mouse button) on the panel for some seconds a bar will appear on the bottom of your screen, which gives you the ability to change the size from small to large.

The large size supports displaying the current camera video inside the panel. Like most other panels, you can add this to your favorites on the start screen which will allow you to always see the current camera image.

With the icon located on the top right corner of the camera image, you can open a popup with bigger view of the video stream, which is well suited for bigger screen sizes like tablets.

The camera OperatorPanel displays the current video/image if the correct credentials are added in the settings. You can also open a popup containing a bigger sized version of the camera image by clicking the icon in the top right corner of the image.

If you did not enter a name for the camera yet, the associated input field will also appear here.

Open the Fronius app an choose 'add'.

Enter the IP address of your PV system in the now appearing popup.
Confirm it with the button 'add'.

Once entered successfully, all installed elements of your PV system will be shown.

Once a PV system is integrated, you can choose to add additional panels by using the 'add' button.

You can choose between 'My Fronius', an overview about the current energy flow in your system, "Efficiency" (of the inverter), “Energy“, "Supply" and "Phase Distribution".

There is also a dynamic diagram available, which can be customized by the user. It allows you to choose between different values and diagram types.

All panels can be added to the home screen by selecting them with a long click/press.

To create a new TCP Client, navigate to the app and choose 'add TCP client'.

On every TCP Client, there is a symbol which shows you if there ist a working connection to the desired device. As you have to configure every new TCP Client first, the symbol will display a red X.

Before the TCP Client can communicate, you have to enter a valid IP address in the settings. To do so, open the Parameter panel of your newly created TCP Clients and enter the IP address and the port of the desired device.

If the IP address and port are correct and a successful connection could be established, you will see a green checkmark in the display of the TCP Client after some seconds.

State
The current status of the TCP Client will be shown here.In case there are any problems with the connection to the desired device or you haven't entered a correct IP address yet, a red X will be displayed.

Events
Every TCP Client allows you to create 3 events, which are triggered when the conditions meets. You can then link to those events in created scenes (inside the Scene app) and use them as triggers. Configured events will be displayed in this list.

Commands
All commands you have created are listed here. You can trigger or delete each one.

Last received data
This list will display recently received data. You can switch between a 'text' or 'hex' view.

IP configuration
The IP address and port of the device for which you want your TCP Client to establish a connection to should be entered here. This settings should be the first configuration you make after creating a new TCP Client. The Operator Panel will then tell you if your connection is working.

Commands
If you want to create a new command, you can do this here by using the 'new command' button. Choose a name and the data which should be send. You can decide between simple text or hex values. Additionally, you can also decide whether you expect a specific answer and choose between text or hex values.

Test command
If you just want to test a command, you can do this here. The result will then be displayed beneath the 'test command' button.

Events
There are some devices, which may frequently send data, without the need for a explicit request (e.g. via a command). For such use cases, every TCP Client has 3 events. For each event, you can set what data you are expecting and their type (text or hex). If an expected event occurs this event will be triggered and can be linked to when creating a Scene.

Navigate to the app 'Digital Inputs', which you can find under 'All Apps'.

Select the desired digital input, which you want to use as a Detector.

Navigate to the settings of the chosen digital input and change its mode to 'Detector'.

The Digital Input changed into a Detector and can now be found in the 'Detector' app.

After you changed a Digital Input into a Detector, it will react to incoming signals and trigger an alarm, depending on its configuration.

A detector will display if his input is currently active and if it is triggering an alarm.

Type
This are pre configured settings for different use cases. Each one comes with a predefined notification text, settings and specific icon.

Alarm after
Defines the timespan for which a signal has to be active on the digital input to trigger an alarm.

Notification
Here you can choose to receive a notification once an alarm gets triggered.

Notification text
Set the text you want to see in the notification.

Alarm must be acknowledged
If this option is active, an active alarm has to be manually terminated instead of ending once the input signal stops.

Reserve (hide in visualization)
Once active, the Detector will be hidden in the visualization.

Icon
Defines which image should be used for this Detector.

Alarm Output
You can choose a digital output, which will be triggered in case of an alarm, here.

Mode
Here, the Digital Input which is used for this Detector can be switched back to another mode.
