devices are taught-in to the Central Control Unit via the HomeMatic
„WebUI".
A soon as a component has been taught-in to a Central Control
Unit, it can only be connected to other components via the CCU.
Each component can only be taught-in to one Central Control Unit.
During teach-in, please make sure you maintain a distance of at
least 50 cm between the HomeMatic devices and the Central
Control Unit.
To teach-in your device to the Central Control Unit, proceed as follows:
•
Open the „WebUI" user interface in your browser.
•
Click the „Teach-in devices" button on the right-hand side of the
screen.
•
To activate teach-in mode, click „BidCoS-RF teach-in mode" in the
next window.
•
Teach-in mode remains activated for 60 seconds. An information
box shows how much teach-in time remains.
•
Meanwhile, please activate the teach-in mode of the motion detec-
tor to teach-in as well.
•
Press the teach-in button of the wireless motion detector.
•
After a short time, the newly taught-in device will appear in the
inbox of your software interface. The button „Inbox (x new devices)"
indicates how many new devices have been taught-in successfully.
•
If required, you can teach-in additional devices by repeating the
steps described above for each device.

Now configure the newly taught-in devices in the inbox as described
in the next section.
7.3 Configuring newly taught-in devices
Once you have taught-in your motion detector to the HomeMatic Central
Control Unit, it will be moved to the inbox. Here, you must configure the
device and its associated channels in order to make them available for
operating and configuration tasks. Give the device a name and assign it
to a room. You can also make individual parameter settings.
Now you can use the „WebUI" user interface to control your device,
configure it, link it directly to other devices, or use it in central control unit
programs. Please refer to the „WebUI" operating manual for more details
(available for download in the „Downloads" area of the website
www.homematic.com).
8 Other notes on operation
8.1 Sensitivity
•
If it is operated without the central control unit, every sensor pulse
causes the motion detector to trip.
•
If the central control unit is used, the response according to the
intensity of motion can be set on the unit.
•
Examples of use:
- Alarm: Insensitive, e.g. 3 pulses/period
- Light: Sensitive, e.g. 1 – 2 pulses/period
8.2 Operation with a dimmer as a directly taught-in actuator
•
Direct teaching-in to a HomeMatic dimmer transfers the following
standard profile, which is designed to make lighting control more
user-friendly, to that dimmer:
•
"Switch on for 5 minutes, plus a 20 second switch-off delay with a
gently flickering light acting as an advance switch-off warning".
•
If someone is present in the room for a long time, this serves as a
timely reminder to activate the motion detector again.
