Automation Control
Your Abbra system is compatible with the X-10 home automation platform. With the addition
of the X-10 Interface PSC04 which plugs directly into the back of your Abbra control panel in
the X-10 jack, you're on your way to making your home the smart home of the future.
Examples of how your Abbra
system can make your life simpler
Automatic lighting control can greatly
improve
security, economy and
convenience in your home.
With automatic lighting control, you can
have Abbra switch lights on and off
automatically when people enter an area
and off when they exit. There are benefits
both to safety and convenience in using
this feature. For example, a sleepy child
or an elderly person might stumble on
unlit stairs. Coming home to a well lit
house can greatly enhance security and
safety.
1. As you come close to a motion
detector, it switches on a light to guide
you safely.
2. Lights will also go on if you open a
door.
3. In a large building a whole area will
light up if someone comes in.
4. If no one is in the area for a time, the
lights will go off to save money.
5. Lights can turn on and off according to
a predetermined schedule to make your
home look occupied while away on
vacation.
6. Turn lights on or off while away from
your home using your cell phone.
With the addition of X-10 lamp modules,
appliance modules, electrical outlets and
light switches you will be able to control
most of the day to day events from the
convenience of your cell phone.
A day in the life of an Abbra
customer….
The Morning Rush
Each working day, it was always the
same process to be ready for work: Bill
turned on the lamp next to his bed,
opened the bedroom drapes, switched on
the bathroom lights and turned on the
heat lamp so it would be comfortable
after he took his morning shower, then
went to the kitchen for breakfast. One
day, Bill discovered a wonderful way to
get rid of these redundant tasks, easily
and reliably: the Abbra Home control
system
Thanks to Abbra, Bill could set all
these actions just as he needed:

At 6.55 am, the alarm rings,

5 minutes later, the bathroom
heat lamp is switched on, as well as
the lights in his bedroom, in the
kitchen, in the bathroom, and the
drapes open.

10 minutes after leaving for
work, the heat lamp and all the lights
are turned off automatically.
Now Bill's "waking up" is more peaceful.
Thanks to Abbra, he even gets to lay in
bed 10 minutes longer.
Taking advantage of off-peak hours
electricity is quite difficult in our busy
lives, because the lowest rate always
applies during unpractical periods of time
at night, when the whole family is
sleeping.
Avoiding energy waste is also a hard
discipline; all the members of the family
must remember to turn off certain electric
appliances and lights before leaving a
room for a long period!
Thanks to Abbra, a lot of domestic tasks
are automatically realized when the
energy cost is at its lowest. No need to
remember, as Abbra will remember for
you!
