15 Frequently asked questions
15.1 Why adding a room?
If you want to add devices to your HOME Easy Box, you first have to add a room. But why?
The reason for adding a room first, is it makes it easy for you to categorize and find back your devices.
When you are physically in a room (for example in your living) and you want to control a device, it’s far
more easy for you to find the right one. Just select your living and then choose the device you want to
control. That easy!
15.2 What is a scene?
A scene is a selection of actions to control devices. A scene makes it for example possible to switch off all
the lights at the same time. Very convenient, when you leave your house.
Another example is switching on the lights in the bathroom and bedroom, switch off all the other lights
and roll down all the curtains. This can be convenient when you are preparing for sleep.
It’s basically up to your own fantasy what kind of scenes you configure. Just be creative!
15.3 What is a task?
A task is a programmed action to control a device. A task makes it for example possible to close the
curtains everyday at 8:00 PM. You can program another task to open the curtains at 7:00 AM.
15.4 What is a device?
In this manual the word ‘device’ means a product that can be wireless controlled by the HOME Easy Box.
This can be motorized curtains, 220V switches, thermostats and so on.
