HCCPG-1TW - The DHC Toscana™ Deluxe Programmer with 2-Way Communication is a simple
central access control station that expands DHC control capability to give
your home a variety of moods, with easy one-touch access to up to 64
whole-house lighting scenes. Created scenes can be accessed by IR remote
as well as from remote scene lighting control keypads. Toscana permits
direct remote control of up to 256 devices as well as complex date/time
and macro automated programming of appliances and lights via send/receive
DHC power line carrier signals from RS-232 PC, HVAC and security system
enabled devices. Individual timed events or up to 8 groups of timed events
can be selected and run on a recurring basis using a highly accurate
internal astronomical clock. The unit registers status changes when
Receivers with 2-Way Communication (HCM06-1TW, HCM10-1TW, HCS08-1TW) are
manually changed.
Application:
By allowing users to automatically turn appliances On/Off and lights
On/Off/Dim/Bright individually or in groups, the DHC Toscana Deluxe
