lares AND HOME AUTOMATIONS
The lares control panel is unique in this concern, too. Its own platform integrates itself with extreme ease in any
Home Integration & Automation logics. It takes an absolutely leading role, as it is perfectly capable of managing
autonomously the domotic applications you always dreamt of for your house – without any help from a PC or the use
of any complicated programs.
A list of home automation appliances (regardless of burglar systems) follow:
• Lighting
• Heating / conditioning systems
• Irrigation systems
• Automations and control of loads
• Fire detection and extinguishing system
• Audio / video entertainment
• Audio / video surveillance
• Accesses control
The I/O modules that can be used for programming and managing the various loads are the same auxi modules
used for expanding the control zones or the programmable inputs of gemino communicator and, thanks to their
miniaturisation level and the brand-new self-learning system with serial code, they can easily be hidden in any pre-
existing small wall-mounting enclosures (i.e. junction boxes or switch/socket boxes).
Management of the domotic system is tightly related to the concept of scenario (macro function): every time an
event occurs on the system (which can be a button stroke, entering of a code upon the keypad, the breach of a
zone, the combination of more events that can be tailored, etc.), the system affords the possibility of programming
through the following parameters the desired macro function:
• Turning partitions on / off
• Activating or deactivating outputs (up to 8 for each macro function)
• Reproducing a vocal message
• Activating the vocal communicator
• Sending an E-mail
• Sending an SMS
• Activating a timer
The system can be managed very simply through the ergo keypad: up to 10 macro functions can be associated
to each keyboard, every macro related to the stroke of a numeric key, or after the entering of a valid user-code.
Another important particularity of the lares systems in home-automation environments is the storage into memory
of the repeated macro functions: for example, the system will automatically propose the macro function that you
activate most frequently from a keyboard, allowing you, in each case, to use the circular scroll in order to see the
other macro functions that can be activated

.
All of this to allows the user to interact with interfaces by the least number of key strokes. You just need to enter your
PIN, on the keyboard, through the tag proxy or your NFC mobile phone into the ergo keyboard.

FIRMWARE UPDATING
Both the rmware of the control panel board and the rmware of all peripherals connected via the KS-BUS can be
updated easily in a few seconds. It is not necessary to make any special connection, or to insert jumpers or to switch
off the system or the peripherals: the rmware can be uploaded directly to the control panel through its USB port
(either from PC or uploaded from a USB key), or remotely via Ethernet communication (if enabled by the user).
The update occurs automatically and is absolutely safe, all Ksenia Security devices have a unique technology for
updating the rmware: the dual-rmware-mode. A copy of the new rmware is saved in the control panel that must
be updated. Once copying (which can be done during normal working of the system) is completed, the control
panel checks the new rmware by means of a CRC sequence (cyclic redundancy check). If the operation is found
to be correct, the system will commence using the new rmware; if not, it will keep using the old code; this guarantees
the maximum of reliability even in case of breaking of transmission.
Essentially, all Ksenia Security systems are backwards-compliant: new features and functions that will become
available in future will be integrated to pre-existing systems without any need to modify or replace the existing
peripherals.
