Overview
Overview
For your information
Technical terms are explained in the Appendix on Page 35 of these
instructions. They are identified in the text by an *.
Application
The Hometronic Voice & Web Interface HCI 300 enables you to
remotely poll and regulate the Lifestyles* of your Hometronic Manager
via a telephone line. This can be done with a telephone or via the
Internet. In addition, the HCI 300 outputs telephone messages
automatically. For this purpose, the Hometronic Voice & Web Interface
is connected before the existing communication equipment
(telephone, fax machine, etc.).
Scope of delivery
• Hometronic Voice & Web Interface HCI 300
• Power supply with cable
• Telephone cable with TAE plug* (HTK 200, German connection
variant)
• Telephone cable with RJ11 plug* (HTA 200, international
connection variant for connection to an adapter)

Scope of functions
Scope of functions
The Hometronic Voice & Web Interface HCI 300 is a modem with
three basic functions:
1. Dialing into the Hometronic System (poll Lifestyle)
2. Alarm output at any desired telephone
3. Internet access to the Hometronic System
Dialing into the Hometronic System (poll Lifestyle)
Dialing into the Hometronic System is established via the standard
telephone line (TAE connection). When dialing in, the HCI 300
responds with "Please enter your PIN". It then provides spoken
information as to which Lifestyle is activated or asks which Lifestyle
you would like to activate. The HCI 300 guides you through the
individual steps via spoken commands. You must confirm each entry
with the pound sign (#).
Alarm output at a telephone
An alarm could be triggered when a smoke detector activates a
Lifestyle and a Lifestyle is assigned to the message text, for example.
The message text is forwarded to the entered telephone numbers.
You can assign a Lifestyle from 1 to 16 to each of the five alarm
messages. An assigned alarm message is deactivated by the Lifestyle
number 0. The HCI 300 says the message text to the receiver,
regardless of whether it’s a person, answering machine or a mailbox.
The voice message of the message texts can be suppressed.
5
Scope of functions
If the first telephone number is busy, an alarm message can be output
to a second telephone number. The first and second telephone
numbers are called three times in an alternating fashion until the call
is confirmed with the pound key (#). An alarm message is not
repeated.
When using the HX 10 expansion module and activated priority
input "1", you must suppress the alarm so that the alarm message is
not repeated (see "Suppressing alarm/message text" on Page 24).
Internet access to the Hometronic System
A Hometronic service provider is required for Internet access. This
provider enables you to communicate with the Hometronic System via
the Internet. To establish the connection to the server, enter a "0"
instead of the telephone number when entering the "alarm telephone
numbers". In addition to the dialing-in and the alarm output (described
above), access to the Hometronic via the Internet offers additional
functions from the provider.
6
Installation
A standard telephone cable connected to an N-encoded*
telephone jack is required for the HCI 300 (see "Checking
wiring of telephone jack" on Page 9).
The HCI 300 communicates with the Hometronic
Manager via a wireless connection.
Caution!
►Install other electronic devices in a distance of at least
30 cm from the HCI 300.
► Do not wind the power cable around the HCI 300.
► When selecting the operating site, ensure that there is
sufficient distance to metallic objects such as steel
reinforcements, metallic wallpapers, etc.
►The distance between the HCI 300 and the HCM 200
and other wireless components may not exceed 30 m.
