Global settings let you define what is responsible in your evonHOME for activating wind, rain, frost, dusk states. For example, if you have connected a rain sensor, this is where you would find the settings for your system to display whether it is raining or not. The global settings can be found under “all apps” – “settings”.
You can connect the rain sensor to the appropriate input of the iX800 controller. IF you also have a weather station or Internet weather, then you need to select which element invokes “rain” in the system. Simply drag the box with the text “iX800” in the item rain to the first place (if more than one box is available) to be able to use the controller’s rain sensor input.
If you have connected your rain sensor to a digital input, then you can select it using the button “add” and drag it to the first position.
The dusk sensor can be connected to the dusk input on the iX800 controller. If you also have a weather station or Internet weather, then you need to select which element invokes “dawn/dusk” in the system. Simply drag the box with the text “iX800” in the item dusk to the first position (if more than one box is available) to use the dusk input on the controller.
If you have connected your dusk sensor to a digital input, then you can select it via the button “add” and drag it to the first position.
Connect your wind contact to the wind input on the iX800 controller. If you also have a weather station or Internet weather, then select which element invokes “wind alarm” in your system. Drag the box with the text “iX800” in the item wind to the first position (if more than one box is available) to use the wind contact on the controller.
If you have connected your wind contact to a digital input, then select it using the button “add” and drag it to the first position.
You can select the value you wish to use for the outside temperature by dragging the element to the first position in the item outside temperature.
If you wish to measure the outside temperature using a sensor, you can do this by clicking the button “add”.
In addition, you can define a value for the frost and heat warning (in the parameter panel). As soon as the outside temperature rises above or below this value, a scene or a notification will be invoked.
The sunrise and sunset times can be calculated using the geo-coordinates. These times are then used for the dawn/dusk calculations. To make sure that the dawn/dusk calculation is performed using the geo-coordinates, drag it to the first position in the item dawn/dusk.
The geo-coordinates can be entered using the decimal point format. To find out which geo-coordinates your house has, simply go to www.maps.google.at and search for your house. Right-mouse click on your location and select “what is here?” to display your geo-coordinates (the first value is north and the second east).
If you wish to change the calculated times then activate the option “adjust time for dawn/dusk”. This will let you adjust how many minutes earlier or later you wish dawn and dusk to be.
If you wish to simulate what happens if it rains, for example, then you can simply simulate the occurrence of rain by activating the option “simulate rain” in the item “rain” and then activate the option “rain on”. This is also true for wind, outside temperature and daylight. Warning, do not forget to end the simulation when you no longer need it (e.g. deactivate “rain simulation”).
You can define which events for you would like to receive notification of in the parameter panel.
