18 HouseControl User’s Manual version 4.8
a = 1 - Feature is on
0 - Feature is off
b = Message contents:
4 = temperatures
c = Interval between messages in minutes
d = Offset (the time after which the first message is sent) in minutes.
yy = free form message given by the user, the contents of the parameter b are appended
at the end of this text.
If you ask the settings of this channel with command #I13?, the return message contains the
programmed information except for variable d which tells you the time after which the next report will be
sent out (this is true only for M- and L-model HouseControls).
For example, the following command will instruct your HouseControl to send the first report after 60
minutes from the current moment. Messages are then sent once a week at the same time.

2.7 Temperatures
Your HouseControl has one internal (device) temperature sensor T1, but it can be furnished with
additional four external temperature sensors (T2– T5). The S-model HouseControl can be furnished with
three external temperature sensors (T2– T4).
Temperature sensors have a fixed hysteresis of two degrees that effectively prevents redundant alarm
messages from being sent when the temperature fluctuates around the set alarm limit. This means that if
the lower temperature alarm limit is set to +10 degrees of Celsius, the temperature must rise at least up
to +12 before new temperature alarms are at all possible.
Table 4. Alarm channels for measuring temperature.
Sensor Alarm Channel Location
T1 9 Internal (device) temperature
T2 16 Indoor 1 (room 1) temperature
T3 17 Indoor 2 (room 2) temperature
T4 18 Garage temperature
T5 19 Outdoor temperature
You can ask the temperature values with command #T? or if you want to ask a particular temperature
value from a particular sensor, you can use the sensor number in the command (#Tx?, where x is a
number between 1 and 5).
