Using PowerTouch

How Do I Control Home Automation Equipment?

How Do I Control Home Automation Equipment? (for U.K. only)

Your new PowerTouch comes pre-programmed with codes to control home automation products manufactured by X-10, Lutron, and Makita. These products enable you to use PowerTouch to dim lights, close or open drapes, and operate non-audio/video equipment. You can even control home automation equipment as part of a macro. See “Creating Macros” on page 77 for more information.

PowerTouch’s control feature works using built-in screens specially designed to emulate the operation of X-10, Lutron, or Makita equipment remotes. These features require no setup to work with the compatible products listed.

Simply aim PowerTouch at the device you want to control, then touch the icon buttons and settings for the tasks you want to perform. Do not aim PowerTouch at your Kenwood receiver—none of the home automation devices are connected to it.

The devices connected to the RELAY CONTROL jacks on the rear of the receiver can be switched ON/OFF directly from PowerTouch.
