Send Message (Pro-Link)

The 6 (SEND) key allows you to send any of the text messages through the Pro-Link serial port. You are first prompted to specify the desired serial port.

SERIAL PORT: 1-4

The built-in serial ports (J1-J3) on the controller are assigned to Serial Port 1 - Serial Port 3, respectively. Serial port 4 is a Serial Interface Module connected to the Expansion port on the controller.

Next, select the message to be sent. You may enter the message number followed by the ' # ' key to send that message, or simply press the down arrow key to scroll through a list of messages. Press the ' # ' key to send the selected message:

MSGNAME

 

ENTER MESSAGE:

↓

The message is sent out through the specified Pro-Link port exactly as the message was entered in Setup Names Message.

Carriage returns and line feed characters are not automatically appended to the end. To send ASCII control as part of the message, use the caret "^" character in the message. This character specifics that the next character is to be interpreted as an ASCII control character, such as "^M" to represent a carriage return.

Other useful sequences would be "^J" for a line feed character and "^G" for a bell character. To include an actual "^" character in the message, enter it twice as in "^^".

Each message can be up to 15 characters long. To send a longer message, simply program two messages to be sent one after the other.

Pro-Link also has the capability to monitor the serial port for incoming text messages. When a text message is received, Pro-Link searches through all 128 messages for a matching message. If one is found, the Program Command (macro) corresponding to the matching message is activated.

When receiving an ASCII message that is over 15 characters, OmniPro II only processes the last 15 characters of the message.

Pro-Link determines that a message has been received when:

•One or more characters have been received followed by 100 ms of silence

•One or more characters followed by a carriage return character are received

•One or more characters followed by a line feed character are received

It is not necessary to enter the terminating carriage return or line feed character as part of the message name.

II specifications

Home Automation II represents the next evolution in smart home technology, providing users with greater flexibility, convenience, and security through advanced features and integrated systems. This smart home revolution focuses on the seamless interaction of devices and the automation of daily tasks, ultimately enhancing the overall living experience.

One of the key features of Home Automation II is interoperability among a wide range of devices. This enables homeowners to control lights, thermostats, security cameras, and other appliances from a single platform. Whether through smartphones, tablets, or voice-activated assistants, users can easily manage their home environment, monitor energy consumption, and receive real-time notifications. This level of integration not only simplifies operation but also creates a more cohesive smart home ecosystem.

Another significant aspect of Home Automation II is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies learn a homeowner’s habits and preferences, allowing the system to adapt automatically. For example, the thermostat can adjust temperatures based on the time of day and occupancy patterns, while lighting systems can simulate human presence when residents are away. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings in utility bills.

Home Automation II offers enhanced security features as well. Smart locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can all be integrated into the home’s network. This allows homeowners to monitor their property remotely, receive security alerts, and even grant access to visitors through mobile apps. Biometric security options, such as facial recognition, are also becoming more common, adding an extra layer of protection.

Furthermore, energy management technologies are a hallmark of Home Automation II. Smart plugs and sensors monitor energy use, providing insights to homeowners about how to reduce consumption. Advanced systems can even automate energy distribution, shifting usage to off-peak hours to alleviate strain on local grids and maximize efficiency.

Finally, voice control has become a prominent feature in Home Automation II, allowing users to operate devices hands-free. Integration with voice-activated platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri adds another layer of convenience, making it easy to control multiple aspects of the home with simple voice commands.

In conclusion, Home Automation II represents a significant step forward in creating intelligent spaces that are responsive to the needs of their users. Through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, enhanced security measures, energy management, and intuitive control options, the concept of a smart home is evolving into a more accessible and efficient reality.
