====== HIQ Configurator ======

HIQ Configurator is a tool for setting the HIQ system configuration parameters.
This includes device settings, timetable, automation, alarm and more.
Controller  Settings can be saved in a file. Hardware configuration is
automatically detected during the installation.

To check the application without the hardware, run HIQ Simulator (included in HIQ Configurator install directory), keep it running, and click Autodetect.

HIQ Configurator works in a local network, internet access is not supported.

==== RGB dimmer ====

RGB mode is used when red/green/blue/(white) LED stripe is connected to the dimmer. Instead of individual light, total brightness, saturation and hue are controlled.

|< 100% >|
^   Control  |
| Sliders on top adjust brightness, saturation and hue of RGB lights. Check boxes on right side toggle RGB and White lamps |
| Color cycling button will start color cycling.| 
| Colors buttons will set RGB lights to match button colour. |
| Off button will turn RGB off. |
| |
^   Settings  |
| Cycle time sets color cycling speed (time for complete cycle in seconds). |
| Evo light check box enables white range simulation, from warm to cold white. |

===== Scene editor =====

A Scene is a user defined array, used to set a group of lights and blinds to a predefined state.
Within a scene, each output can be on, off, or not affected.
Dimmer and blinds can be set from 0 to 100% in 10% increments.

^   Settings  |
| Click on matrix to toggle between allowed options. Hold and drag to set multiple fields. |
| If scene controller (SC-4x-IQ) is connected, click Read before and Write after editing.  |
| Use Clear all to erase the whole matrix.                                                 |

===== Ready light =====

Ready Light is a light automation system.
Unlike common presence detectors, its design ensures almost perfect operation.
The system is based on two sensors, passive infrared (PIR) for presence, and magnetic reed switch for door open/close. 
System can be used with a single sensor (PIR or reed), but is also limited to common functionality.

===== Timetable =====

Timetable defines periods in which the heating/cooling system is active, when output (0-55) and/or scene is active.
Tables are independent, and may be used to handle separate zones, e.g. living area or sleeping area.
Manual override is possible at any time, timetable will catch on with the next transition.

===== Alarm =====

Alarm is based on 4 zones, each with up to 3 sensors. Alarm states are:
  * **OFF**: protection is off.
  * **Arming**: protection is switching on, active timeout for leaving protected area.
  * **Armed**: protection enabled.
  * **Activating**: protection is on and movement detected - timeout allows to disengage alarm.
  * **Alarm active**: intrusion detected, siren output active.
  * **Expired**: delay time expired, siren is turned off (default 120s).

^  Settings  || 
| **Reset**  | Reset energy consumption, to measure the amount of electricity something is using:\\ 1. Turn the output off.\\ 2. Reset relative power.\\ 3. Turn the output on.\\  A few seconds later, measured relative power is displayed. If the reading is not stable, temporary turn off any load which may consume variable amount of power.\\ Measured rating may be used to set the nominal power on ‘Energy by output’ page. |
