devolo Home Control

Home Control (also known as home automation) refers to the specific control of electrically operated indoor
household devices. The Home Control system from devolo uses the Z-WaveTM wireless standard.

A Home Control system requires a Z-WaveTM-compatible control unit such as the Home Control Central Unit
from devolo. Use its Home Control Portal to co-ordinate the Home Control Humidity Sensor and all other
Home Control devices. You can access the Home Control Central Unit through the my devolo app and at

www.mydevolo.com

in a browser.

For more information about setting up the Home Control Central Unit, please refer to the instal­lation guide and/or Home Control online help. You can find the product's installation video online
at www.devolo.eu/home-control

The Home Control Humidity Sensor

The Home Control Humidity Sensor measures temperature and humidity. It records their changes and thereby
helps maintain optimum humidity in living spaces. The optimal value ranges from 40 to 60 percent. The
Home Control Humidity Sensor is equipped with an integrated LED and a release button.

The Home Control Humidity Sensor can be used in various ways. Depending on the use, position the
Home Control Humidity Sensor as follows:

쑗 To determine your comfortable climate, position the Home Control Humidity Sensor in your com-

fort zone, for example, in your living room near the couch.

6

쑗 To determine the dew point and prevent mould growth, position the Home Control Humidity Sen-

sor in a corner of the room.

쑗 To control the ventilation, position the Home Control Humidity Sensor in the bathroom.

For more detailed descriptions and application scenarios for Home Control Humidity Sensor func­tions, refer to the Home Control online help.

Batteries

Always keep batteries away from open flame and high temperatures. Avoid direct
sunlight and radiated heat!

Always remove all batteries from battery-operated devices that are only in storage
and are not in use. Old batteries can leak and damage the device!

Do not use rechargeable batteries!

When inserting the battery, make sure the polarity is correct. Using the battery in­correctly can damage the device!

The Home Control Humidity Sensor requires a commercially available CR123(A) lithium battery.
For information on replacing the battery, please refer to the Home Control online help.

Registering the Home Control Humidity Sensor on the control unit (e.g. devolo Home Control Central
Unit)

Only use the Home Control Humidity Sensor indoors.

Avoid placing the Home Control Humidity Sensor in direct sunlight or radiated heat!

To ensure the best possible wireless range for the Home Control Humidity Sensor, avoid po-
sitioning it behind objects that block the signal (attenuation) and avoid interference
sources. Weak signals due to attenuation can result from furniture, plants and especially metal

objects which are located between the devices. Possible sources of interference include electrical
devices such as a microwave or computer. In such instances, keep your device at least around 50
cm away from the source.

 Place the Home Control Humidity Sensor close to the desired location of use.

Installing the Home Control Humidity Sensor

 Before you attach the Home Control Humidity Sensor, first check whether the sensor is displayed in the

Home Control Portal. Then test whether the values for humidity, temperature and dew point are also dis­played on the element (widget). If they are, you can proceed with the installation.

Install the Home Control Humidity Sensor on a flat and level surface so that the black
release button on the rear of the sensor is depressed when the device is installed.

 If using double-sided tape to fasten the Home Control Humidity Sensor, adhere the tape to the

centre (below the release button) on the rear of the sensor and attach the Home Control Humidity
Sensor to the desired location.

If installing on a wall using screws, make sure that no gas, water or power lines in
the wall get damaged. There is a danger of electric shock!

9

 If you use screws to attach the Home Control Humidity Sensor, take apart the upper and lower

housing component of the sensor by pressing the tab down
nents (from top to bottom,  and ).

 in order to release the housing compo-

쑗 Based on the drill template on the lower housing component, drill holes into the desired location

and attach the lower component of the sensor using screws.

쑗 Insert the bottom end of the upper housing component into the groove  provided for this purpose

in the lower component.

쑗 Then push the entire upper housing component (from bottom to top,  and ) onto the lower

component as far as it will go. This completes the installation of the Home Control Humidity Sensor.

From now on, you can take electronic control conveniently using the Home Control Portal of the
Home Control Central Unit. For more information on the control and configuration of all devolo
