Once programming is completed using a PC and the included IES Configuration Software, the touch screen will operate without the use of a computer. Programming is safe from power outages by way of an internal back-up battery.
USB Programming
The EasyTouch controller is managed and configured by connecting the mini USB jack located at the top of the unit to a computer or laptop. The included IES software allows you to set up, manage, delete, and edit groups, scenes and indivual INSTEON devices easily.
INSTEON 2412S PLM
The INSTEON Compatible In-Wall Touch-Screen Controller communicates to all of the devices on an INSTEON network through the INSTEON PowerLinc Modem (sold separately). By simply connecting the back of the INSTEON touch-screen controller to an INSTEON PLM via a single cat. 5 cable, bi-directional information can be sent for communication and status. The 2412S also supplies power to the touch panel, so no additional power supply is required.
Configuration Software Package
IES Configuration Software comes included with each INSTEON-compatible touch-screen display. This PC-based SW package allows the user or installer to easily configure the touch panel. Utilizing the software, users and installers can define and customize buttons and labels for individual INSTEON devices as well as groups, scenes and schedules. Programming and configuration of the touch panel is broken up into five sections, including Modules, Scenes, Schedules, Location and Reports:
- The Modules section allows the user to assign names and INSTEON addresses to each individual Switch as well as define whether the switch is a dimmer or relay.
- The Scenes section allows the user or installer to create and assign scene names by simply dragging and dropping selected switches from the defined list into the scene.
- The Schedules section allows the user or installer to create and assign names to schedules by dragging and dropping either individual INSTEON devices or whole scenes. The scheduler contains several useful time delineations, including dawn and dusk triggers as well as daily, weekday, and weekend settings. Multiple schedules can be downloaded and enabled individually via the Touch Screen.
- Location allows the user or installer to define the home's time zone via a list of cities or latitude and longitude measurements, which aids in calculating dawn and dusk settings for scheduled events.
- The Report function allows the user or installer to print reports of the defined Modules, Scenes and Schedules stored in the touch screen's memory.
The In-Wall Touch Screen is also available in a table-top version.
