Smart Automation

PROGRAM YOUR HOME

 

Houseper Notifications

 

Houseper has a specially designed module with which you can create algorithms. These are automatic processes that manage your smart home according to rules set by you. Algorithms will help you “adjust” your home, according to your daily routine. For example, on a weekday you can wake up with a ready-to-use hot coffee machine, have security automatically activated while you are at work, and in the evening enjoy dimly relaxing lighting, switch to romance mode or start a light show. You can leave the care of the heating entirely in the hands of Houseper. In doing so, it will strictly follow your instructions for the desired temperature on different days of the week and in different time ranges. It will reduce the waste of electricity and can stop the air conditioning / heating when you ventilate and then restore it. With the help of automatic processes, owners of a Houseper controller with a built-in 4G LTE modem will be able to take advantage of SMS notification in the event of various events, including critical and life-threatening. SMS is the second independent information channel that will give you security in case the internet channel drops out. The algorithms provide automatic:

  • Device control
  • Arm/Disarm device
  • Arm/Disarm IAS Zone
  • Activate scene
  • Smartphone notification
  • E-mail notification
  • SMS notification( *4G LTE controller)

CONDITIONS

Each algorithm can be unconditional or contain one or more conditions. Conditions are logical operations, including the parameters of the devices in your smart home and the set values. For example, if we want the heating to turn on when the temperature drops below 22 degrees, then we should create a condition where the current temperature is less than 22 degrees. So, when the temperature drops below 22 degrees, the corresponding actions will be executed.

TRUE

or

FALSE

EVENTS

Each change in a condition parameter generates an event. Events can be used to run an algorithm. If we continue the example by turning on the heating at a temperature below 22 degrees, then in this case, we can define the change of temperature as an event that will run the algorithm every time we have a change in temperature. If the measured value is below 22 degrees, then the heating will turn on.

EXECUTION OF AN ACTION

For example, when the heating is switched on at a temperature lower than 22 degrees, we can add another condition: “The window should be closed” so that we do not waste electricity. Then, when all the conditions are met, we must create an action that turns on the electrical appliance . When performing the algorithm, Houseper will check if the temperature is below 22 degrees and the window is closed. The heating will be turned on only if both conditions are true, i.e. the temperature is below 22 degrees and the window is closed.

ACTIONS

 

The actions that can be performed are control of one or all devices, activation of scenes, arming and disarming security in one or more zones, sending notifications – email, SMS, notifications to a smartphone.

Each algorithm may contain one or more actions. Each one can be executed when:

  • all conditions are true
  • at least one condition is true
  • all conditions are false
  • at least one condition is false
Device control
Activate scene
Smartphone notification
E-mail & SMS
Arm/Disarm alarm

SCHEDULES

Schedules are the time schemes according to which the algorithm will be executed. We could set a one-time run or a periodic one, with the repetition period set in minutes or each day at a specific time and even on specific days of the week. So, in our example with heating control, we could create a schedule to run every 30 minutes if the days of the week are Saturday or Sunday and another schedule for working days, referring to the period in which we are at home.

DESCRIPTION

Algorithm for automatic sending of informational SMS in case of floods.

DEVICES REQUIRED

Houseper Water Leak Sensor

Installed in a place with a high risk of water leakage. For example, under the kitchen sink.

Optionally, use one or more to extend the Houseper Water Leak Sensor range.

ALGORITHM WALKTHROUGH

  1. Select “Add algorithm”
    • Enter an appropriate name and optional description.
    • Select “Next”
  2. Select “Create new condition”
    • For the device, select the “Houseper Water Leak Sensor” that you have placed under the kitchen sink.
    • For a condition, choose “Alarm (IAS Zone)” = “Water overflow indication”
    • Select the “Event” option (by selecting this option, you program Houseper to execute the algorithm each time the device changes its “Water overflow indication” status, regardless of whether the device is armed)
    • Select “Next”

    • Select “At least one condition is true” for the criterion.
  4. Select “Next”
    • Finish the creation of the algorithm with “Finish” without selecting “Create new schedule”. This algorithm does not require the creation of a “Schedule”, as it will only be performed at an event (flood / drainage – after the sensor dries).
  5. Once the algorithm is created, it appears at the top of the list. Using the info button, go to the detailed overview of the algorithm to view it.
  6. *If you have other Houseper Water Leak Sensors, you can add them. Consider, for example, another Houseper Water Leak Sensor located in a laundry room. To include it in the algorithm, you should create a second condition by pushing the add condition button.
    • Choose the “Houseper Water Leak Sensor”, which is located in the laundry room, as a device.
    • As a condition, choose “Alarm (IAS Zone)” = “Water overflow indication”
    • Select the “Event” option (by selecting this option, you program Houseper to execute the algorithm each time the device changes its “Water overflow indication” status, regardless of whether the device is armed)
    • Push “Add” to finish

* Whenever one of these devices changes its “Water overflow indication” status, Houseper will execute the algorithm and if one of all devices detects a flood, it will send the entered text as an SMS to the listed phones.

If we want the lighting in the corridor to light up when there is movement and to turn off automatically if there is no movement for 3 minutes.

DEVICES REQUIRED

Motion Sensor

Installed in the corridor, where we want automatic lighting

Wall Switch 1 Button

Installed in the corridor for lighting control

    • Enter an appropriate name and optional description.
    • Select “Next”
  2. Select “Create new condition”
    • For a device, select the “Motion Sensor” that you have mounted.
    • For a condition, choose “Alarm (IAS Zone)” = “Intrusion indication”
    • Select the “Event” option. (By selecting this option, you program Houseper to execute the algorithm each time the device changes its “Intrusion indication” status, regardless of whether the device is armed.)
