five user interfaces: a computer on the Internet World-Wide Web (Web), a System User
Interface (SUI), and a telephone. Refer to
(VISTA-30PSE, VISTA-10SE)
Microelectronic Communicating Programmable Thermostat Owner’s Guide
thermostat instructions.
The Guide is organized into:
! Overviews of the system and each interface.
! Start-up tasks.
! Tasks for setting, monitoring, and controlling events.
Some features and functions described in this guide may require equipment in addition
to the initial installation.

GETTING STARTED
At installation, the Home Controller Gateway is connected to your PC and powered on.
Software for the Home & Away System is installed in the Home Controller Gateway
using a compact flashcard memory. Thermostats, the Wall Panel System User Interface,
Web cameras and security panels are connected to the Gateway. Light and appliance
modules are connected to their respective devices, plugged in and programmed into the
system.
The installer also will configure, or help you to configure, default settings for some
devices, Lifestyles, Schedules and passwords required to use the interfaces. You can
change the default settings at anytime using the MyHome Portal Web interface;
Configuring Home Controller Default Settings section.
You will be able to use light, appliance, thermostat, and security features immediately.
However, you must define Lifestyles and Schedules, as described in this guide, before
you can take advantage of these features.
Familiarize yourself with each of the components installed as part of your Home & Away
System. Begin by reviewing the documentation provided for each component:

OVERVIEW
The Honeywell Home & Away System gives you a new level of comfort and convenience
by letting you control and monitor security, lighting, Web camera, appliances, and
thermostats from control panels within your home or by several remote methods,
including a personal computer with Internet access and the telephone. With the
Honeywell Home & Away System, you can:
Monitor home security. Home & Away System installation may include an Ademco or
First Alert security system that enables you to monitor motion, window, and door use.
Control lighting and appliances. With Home & Away System, you can schedule lights
and appliances to turn on or off at selected times and you can control them remotely
from the MyHome Portal.
Control home comfort. Home & Away System displays the temperature for each
thermostat in the house and lets you change the thermostat system, temperature, and
fan settings.
Check status and set events remotely. The Home & Away System provides
interactive telephone and Internet access that lets you check the state of lights,
appliances, Web cameras, security, thermostats and set events from outside the house.
The following four subsections briefly describe how to use each interface type. The
remaining sections of this guide are instructions for performing specific tasks using each
interface.
Using the Web Interface
With the World-Wide Web (Web) interface, you can access your Home & Away System
from any computer with Internet access: at home, at the office, and from a modemequipped laptop. When you acquire the System, Honeywell creates a Web page for you
and the installer assigns it an Internet address. The installer will add your MyHome
Portal Web address to the Bookmarks or Favorites list for your browser.
You can use the MyHome Portal Web interface for most Home & Away System setup
tasks. To use this interface, you should:
! Be familiar with the way graphical Web browsers work (such as Microsoft®
Internet Explorer, Netscape® Communicator)
! Have access to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) if
logging in from a computer outside your home.
! Have Netscape Communicator 4.0 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
installed.
Home & Away System interface works similarly to other Web pages. All tasks can be
carried out using a mouse or other pointing device; to begin any task, simply click its
labeled button or control on the MyHome Portal.
Each Web page on the MyHome Portal includes task, support, and navigation controls.
Navigation controls are displayed in the lower-left corner of each page and include:
! Home – returns you to the Home page.
! Device Control – takes you to the light, appliance, and thermostat control
panels.
! House History – takes you to a log that displays the last 1000 events that
have occurred (such as thermostat or security system changes).
! System Configuration – takes you to the system default settings (such as
passwords, date and time).
Task controls are the buttons and lists you use to change Device, Lifestyle, Schedule,
and security settings. They are displayed in the main task area of each page. Examples:
! Details buttons.
! Apply buttons.
! Option buttons.

Support controls are located in the upper-right corner of the page:
! The Honeywell button links you to a Web page to learn more about the
Home & Away System, and receive advice from our home experts.
! The Help button calls-up on-line help files to assist you with task
completion, navigation, or other problems.

Logging On and Off
You can log into your Home & Away System on the Web from any computer that has
Internet access. The method for logging in is slightly different for using the Web interface
from home and using it remotely.
Because all your changes are automatically saved, there is no formal log-off procedure.
When you have completed accessing the MyHome Portal from the Web, you can enter
another URL in the Address box and perform other Internet tasks, or you can close your
Web browser and close your Internet connection as usual.
Be sure that a full time connection to the Internet is established to log in from a computer
outside your home. If it is not, follow instructions from your ISP to establish and maintain
the connection. No connection is needed if logging in from a computer within your home.
Logging in from home: Type your Internet Protocol (IP) address in the Address or Location box at the top
of your browser and press Enter. Your Home page is displayed.
Note: The IP address is a series of four numbers separated by periods; for example,
196.168.8.7. Your installer will give you the IP address and write it into your
installation materials.
After you log in, you can save the address to your Bookmarks or Favorites file.
Logging in remotely: 1. Type myhome.honeywell.com in the Address or Location box at the top of your
browser and press Enter. The public Honeywell Home Controller Gateway page is
displayed.
2. In the Username box, type the ID supplied by your installer.
3. In the Password box, type your password supplied by your installer.
4. Click the Login button. Your MyHome Portal Home page is displayed.
NOTE: If you browse to other sites, and then click the browser Back button to return to
the MyHome Portal site, you may need to log back into the site. You will not be
required to log in again if you return to the site within five minutes.
