How Do I Control Home Automation Equipment?
How Do I Control Home Automation Equipment?
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 66 for more information.
PowerTouch’s control feature works using built-in screens specially de-
signed 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 automa-
tion devices are connected to it.
Relay control
The devices connected to the RELAY CONTROL connectors on the rear
of the receiver can be switched ON/OFF directly from PowerTouch.
To switch on or switch off the RELAY CONTROL output using
PowerTouch
1. Access either the Home1 or Home2 menu and touch to open
the Home Automation menu:
2. Touch to relay on or touch to relay off.
