Shutter FPC

Sat, 16 Jun 2012 04:44:20 -0400

SCENARIO_1:

When AUX_6=ON Only_if LIGHT_15=ON Execute SHUTTER_16=STOP; AUX_6=OFF

DESCRIPTION:

The shutter alarm interface L4612 is configured with the auxiliary channel AUX_6 to go ON after a motion of two bars.
The scenario stops the movement of the shutters only when the room light is ON and when they have moved two bars.

ACTION:

When the light is ON the shutter moves two bars every time the shutter key is pressed.

VARIATIONS:

When closing the house, shutters are raised and closed sequentially to have the shutter closed but in the expanded bars position to avoid the room to be completely dark during the day.

PROBLEMS SOLVED:

At nights and evenings when the lights are ON, it is advisable for privacy not to open the shutters completely.
In the morning, when a person is still in bed, the shutters may be opened slowly by turning a light first.

One of the strong features of MyHome is the automation system with commands for opening and closing the shutters. In my home I have 11 shutters, one for each terrace window and door. Every room has at least one shutter to provide light management, privacy, and security. Each shutter has a motion sensor, Art. 3514, that is coupled to contact interface L4612/12 capable of triggering the alarm system or sending an auxiliary signal when the shutter moves an excess of two bars. One may increase the sensitivity of the motion sensor to one bar by lying out the rope as in a movable pulley, to double the travel distance of the shutter. The shutter switches, Art. F411/2, can be configured in several modalities when a command key L4652/3 is pressed to command Up or Down the shutter. Using the MH200N, I was able to write a program to stop the shutter movement soon after the auxiliary signal is detected only_if a courtesy light is ON.

Automation: To open a shutter automatically using FPC in the morning we have to automate the following events:
