====== 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 color. |
| Off button will turn RGB off. |
| |
^   Settings  |
| White temperature mode check box enables white range simulation, from warm to cold white. |
| Cycle time sets color cycling speed (time for complete cycle in seconds). |

==== Input setup ====

Set mode of operation for each [[:hiq_home:hw:lc-10-iq|Light controller (LC)]] input.\\
Default is to toggle the corresponding output on and off with each keypress.\\
Timer extend is used to extend the time when output is configured as timer.
Typical usage is for a staircase light.\\
Direct mode turns output on when button is pressed, off when released.
Typical usage is for a door bell.\\
Scene button enables selected scene. Scene number is altered with a long press on scene number.\\
Timer extend mode extends timer with every press. Typical use is motion (PIR) sensor.\\
Timer extend/night only - the same as above, works only al low light conditions.\\
Motions sensor for ready light.\\
Inverse door (window) sensor – inverse function of “direct” (doorbell) button.
Inverse door sensor/night only – the same as above, works only al low light conditions.\\

==== IR remote ====

HIQ scenes can be set from an IR remote controller. Any Philips (RC5) compatible remote controller can be used. Receiver is any scene controller or thermostat ([[:hiq_home:hw:sc-4t-iq| SC-4T-IQ]], [[:hiq_home:hw:sc-40-iq| SC-40-IQ]], [[:hiq_home:hw:th-1m-iq| TH-1M-IQ]], [[:hiq_home:hw:th-1t-iq| TH-1T-IQ]] and [[:hiq_home:hw:th-3-iq| TH-3-IQ]]).

|< 100% >|
^   Settings  |
| Press remote controller button until the code is recognized, then assign it to a scene. |
|Enable or disable IR receiver in each scene controller and/or thermostat.|
|Enable or disable beep when valid IR code is received.|

===== 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).
