For example:

Entry

Lights

For 2H

0=OFF

1=ON

2=DIM 3=BRT↓

Status of a Unit

To see the status of an X-10 or ALC unit, from the control menu, press the ' # ' key. The last command along with any time (hh:mm:ss) remaining on a timed command will be displayed.

Entry Lights

1:22:10

STATUS ON

 

At this point, one of the menu choices may be entered or the ' * ' or ' # ' key may be pressed to redisplay the menu.

Note: When an X-10 signal is received over the powerline, OmniPro II will automatically update the status of the unit number.

Internal Flags

The easiest way to define a flag it to refer to it as a "virtual relay". A flag can be in one of three separate states: On, Off, or set to a value between 0 and 255. If a flag has a value of 1-255, it is considered "On". If a flag has a value of 0 it is considered "Off". Flags are a powerful programming tool that can be used in several ways to accomplish advanced programming routines. Any Flag can also be used as a counter. Counters can be incremented, decremented, or set to a specific value (0 to 255).

When a counter is decremented to zero, the "When Unit Off" macro is executed. A counter will not decrement below zero. The counter will, however, roll over from 255 to 0 when incremented. The "When Unit Off" macro will be executed when the counter rolls over. This allows two counters to be cascaded to form a larger counter.

When the counter is incremented from 0 to 1, the "When Unit On" macro will now execute. This will allow you to execute a command when the Flag is incremented (counting up) from zero.

The Set command is used to set the counter to a value from 0 to 255. No macros are executed when the counter is set to zero or when the counter is changed from zero using the set command. This allows a counter to be reset without executing macros or programs associated with the counter counting to zero. Turn the Flag On or Off to have the associated macro execute. When the Flag is turned Off, its value is set to zero (0). When the Flag is turned On, its value is set to one (1). The counter is considered On for program conditions if it is nonzero (1-255).

Flags can be turned Off, On, Decremented (DEC), Incremented (INC), Set, and Timed ON/OFF.

Controlling Outputs

The OmniPro II has eight outputs that can be used to switch relays. Outputs 1-8 are controlled as Unit Numbers 385-392, respectively. If the Interior Horn is configured as a "General Purpose" output, Unit Number 393 is used to control the output. If the Exterior Horn is configured as a "General Purpose" output, Unit Number 394 is used to control the output. In this configuration, Unit Numbers 393 and 394 should not be used as "Flags".

These 12 VDC voltage outputs are connected directly to the OmniPro II and not through a module. If you have something connected to these outputs, such as a sprinkler system, your dealer will explain its operation.

Outputs cannot be brightened or dimmed and are not affected by All ON or All Off commands.

All On / Off

The All On/Off menu is used to turn all lights on (X-10), all units on (ALC), and all units off (X-10 & ALC). It is also used to set Scenes, issue a Scene On command, and issue a Scene Off command to switches that support Leviton Scene Control. From the top-level display or from the main menu, press the 4 (ALL) key on the console keypad.

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.
