Initial commissioning of sun sensor 9478-1 (logging on to HomePilot)

General:

• The sensor is supplied with a CR 2450 battery inserted. Carefully pull the separating foil out of the device. It is not necessary to open the device. After that, all LEDs light up once briefly.
• The sun sensor has the function sun and vibration in connection with the HomePilot, both functions can be used as event in triggers.
• The sensitivities are set exclusively on the sun sensor.

Registration on the HomePilot:

The sun sensor can either be registered directly to the 5 receivers for sun protection or also registered to the HomePilot.

• • Start the registration mode on the HomePilot.
  • Then press the menu button on the side of the sun sensor until the menu LED lights up blue.
  • Tap the + button once, the status LED will flash green and turn solid green for a few seconds if the login is successful.
  • In HomePilot, the device appears as DuoFern sun sensor and can be configured directly. Assign a name and optionally a description.
  • If you want to receive push messages via the HomePilot for certain actions, you can activate this in the "Notifications" area here.

Mounting the sensor on the window:

• • The sensor is stuck to the window pane relatively far down. The sensor must not be covered later when a blind moves to the sun position. (if sun function is used)
  • The sensor can be mounted high or across.
  • The operating buttons should be on the left or on top

Use sun function via HomePilot:

• • Set limit value

    • You have two options to set the sun sensitivity. The easiest way is to attach the sensor to the window pane and then, at the desired sun, accept the currently measured value as the limit value. To do this, press the menu button until the LED lights up yellow. Then press the Menu and Plus keys simultaneously.
      Alternatively, you can set the sensitivity manually in the sun menu. To do this, simply tap the Plus or Minus key until the desired value is displayed via the LEDs. The LEDs show 10 steps with 5 LEDs. If the LED flashes, it is a half step, if the LED is on, it is a whole step.
    • A green status LED is used for control. If the set limit value is below the actual measured value, the LED is green.

• • Prepare devices

    • Before creating the scene, please check the configuration of the devices you want to control via the sun
    • Open the configuration of the respective device and check the set total runtime in the device setting.
    • Check in the area Automatics if the sun function and a suitable sun position are set.
    • For some devices, the suitable sun mode must still be set. Troll Comfort DuoFern and RolloTron Comfort DuoFern (set menu 9-9-3 to 3)

• • Creating a scene

    • Create a scene in which you add all devices that are to react to this sun sensor
    • Target of each device is "direct

• • Create trigger

    • Create a new trigger
    • Event Sun
    • selected device = DuoFern sun sensor
    • Select reaction to exceeded and fallen short of
    • one-time event
    • Link trigger to previously created scene
    • Exit view and perform "Automatic adjustment" (target state is set to "Direct" and sun automatic is activated at the receivers.

• • Test function

    • Open all sun shades completely
    • Tap the menu button on the sun sensor until the LED lights up yellow
    • Press the plus and minus keys simultaneously
    • All shutters move to the set sun positions

Use the vibration function via the HomePilot:

• • Set limit value

    • You can set the sensitivity manually in the vibration menu of the sensor. Tap the menu button until the LED lights up RED. Then simply tap the plus or minus button until the desired value is displayed via the LEDs. The LEDs show 10 steps with 5 LEDs. When the LED flashes it is a half step, when the LED is lit it is a full step.

• • Create a scene

    • Create a scene in which you add all the devices that should react in case of vibration
    • Set the target of each device in this scene, for example: turn on siren, turn on lights in the garden, shutters to 100%, etc.

• • Create a trigger

    • Create a new trigger
    • Event "Shock
    • selected device = DuoFern sun sensor
    • Reaction to vibration detected
    • one-time event
    • optionally a condition can be added. For example, a period from 10 pm to 6 am. This way you make sure that the alarm will not be triggered if someone simply uses the window during the day.

• • • Link the trigger to the previously created scene
    • Exit view and perform "Automatic adjustment
