C100 Introduction

Introduction

Your HomeSet C100 Control Hub lets you easily control and

automate electronic components in your home (audio/video and

home entertainment devices such as lights, thermostats, security

systems and more) to make life more enjoyable. The hub does this

by sending coded infrared and Ethernet commands wirelessly or

wired using wires installed by your smart home professional.

In the majority of installations, this hub functions with little or

no interaction from you, the homeowner/system user. Please read

and observe all precautions in this manual.

By using the HomeSet Mobile Android or iOS app on your

smartphone or tablet with the HomeSet hub, you gain two-way

control of your connected devices. “Two-way” means that in

addition to data being sent to an electronic component (such as a

Nest Thermostat), data is also returned to your phone/tablet so

you can see graphical information of current status, including

“What’s Playing,” volume, and more. Adding a handheld R100

Remote Control to the system provides the same two-way feature.

It’s also possible to expand control to other rooms or areas of your

home. Multiple C100 Hubs can be installed in up to eight rooms

using the same local network used for your home’s internet access.

C100 Introduction

HomeSet C100 Control Hub

The C100 Hub is a network-based product that requires use of an

installed local area Wi-Fi network (LAN).

For handy reference, we suggest you record the name and contact

information of the professional who installed your system on the

notes page on the last page of this manual.

C100 Introduction

HomeSet R100 Remote Control (Optional)

Using a HomeSet R100 Remote Control with a C100 Hub allows for

control of smart home products such as lights, thermostats, and

security as well as control of your audio and video (A/V) devices.

The R100 is a Wi-Fi based remote control and does not use “line of

sight” infrared (IR) or low frequency RF. It’s the perfect accessory

companion for your television room or bedroom.

7

C100 Introduction

HomeSet Android and iOS Mobile App (Included)

When used with the C100 Hub, the HomeSet “Entertain” Android

and iOS Mobile Apps provide full control of A/V components,

without need for a "point and shoot" IR remote control. The mobile

app also provides advanced Internet Protocol (IP) command/

control of network-based equipment. Use the HomeSet “Automate”

app to control your Z-Wave® Lights, Thermostats, Door Locks and

IP Cameras if a URC TRF-ZW Z-Wave bridge has been installed

with your system.

Features and Benefits

● Connect with Wi-Fi or Wired Ethernet

Your professional installer/programmer will connect the C100

Hub to a wired or wireless local Ethernet network. The Wi-Fi

capability of the C100 provides installation flexibility.

● Control Smart Home Products with Ease

HomeSet provides an elegant way to control entertainment

products plus smart home devices in and around your home. For

example, you can check on the kids in the back yard and turn on

outside lights at dusk from your smartphone. Or, switch the TV to

your Blu-ray player and start a favorite movie with one press on

your smartphone or optional remote.

● Two-way Meta-data Feedback

Experience two-way feedback on your smartphone, tablet or

optional R100 remote screen when used with compatible home

devices such as entertainment, lights and more. Two-way

control of Nest is available on the R100 Remote Control and via

HomeSet’s mobile apps. Enjoy the same feedback when used in

conjunction with a regularly-expanding line of products made

by other manufacturers.
