   Figure 1

2. Next, you need to add the device to the controller, to do this, go to your controller tab devices and click add Figure 2.

   

   Figure 2

   Press the system key several times to put the device in add mode. After successful addition, two widgets will appear in the room you specified for the device

3. After removing the plug from the socket 220V, connect the device to the computer with the data cable USB-microUSB, connect the IR command transmitter Figure 1.
4. Click on the link (Windows, Linux, Driver) to download Constructor Virtual Device , click download then direct download.

6. Run the downloaded Virtual Panel Consrtuctor Setup 0.1.1-b.exe

   The program will be installed automatically. Make sure that the USB cable leading to the device is not accidentally touched during setup to avoid accidental disconnection. Run the program, the device will be searched.

   • If the search is successful, the image will appear as shown in Figure 3. If you are setting up your device for the first time or have decided to overwrite it completely, click Clear Data. If you decide to reconfigure your device, click Read Data.

     1. Make sure that the connection is intact.
     2. Make sure that your USB-microUSB cable is dated.
     3. Register and download the official Silicon Labs driver depending on your systemDriver. Unzip the driver to a separate folder, run the installer depending on the size of your system CP210xVCPInstaller_x64/x86. Repeat the device search.
     4. In case the above steps did not help or if the problem occurs again. Go to Device Manager Figure 7, ports, Silicon Labs, properties, driver and remove the driver. Remove the USB cable from the device and put it back, search again, in case of failure reinstall the driver manually as described above.

 Working with the Virtual Panel Consrtuctor

1. To configure the Virtual Panel Consrtuctor language, go to menu, languages and change it Figure 8

   

   Figure 8

2. The front panel of Figure 9 contains:

   

   Figure 9

   • Elements seven types of elements to fill in their commands;
   • Device ID;
   • The Panel contains panels that are filled with elements to simulate a control panel;
   • Modes in which an element is selected to teach a command or give a command to an element;
   • Settings, in which the elements are filled with commands.

3. To get started, add the ID of your device from the controller (figure 10) to the appropriate field in the program

   

   Figure 10

4. Drag and drop items into the panel to form the panel you want Figure 11.
   

   Figure 11

5. To fill an item, click on it Figure 12.

   

   Figure 12

   In the settings, enter the name of the item (hereinafter the button) or the icon with which it will be displayed. You can hide the button if you don't like its current location by checking the Hide box.

6. To teach the button, take the remote control from the device you need and point it at the IR command receiver figure 1, press teach IR command and the button you need from the remote control of your device. If successful, the image will appear Figure 13.

   After that you can save the configuration (point 12)

   

   Figure 13

7. Button can be taught commands "Promto", if you have the code of the command press add, the window will appear Figure 14. Copy the code into the field and click add.

   

   Figure 14

8. It is possible to assign the execution of the script from the controller to the button in the created console, to do this, go to the controller and hover over the script setup widget

9.  At the bottom of the screen you will see a line with the ID in this example ID 19.

10. Enter the resulting ID in the scene ID field and click add.

11. It is possible to create a second panel .

    To do this, click on the image of Pencil 1 then Two Tab 2. After that, the second panel will appear.

 Connecting CONNECTHOME ConnectHome sensors.

The CH-501 IR model is a micromodule that has the ability to connect one of ConnectHome's various sensors. There are two types of sensors: binary (e.g. motion sensor, which has only two values: motion/no motion) and multi-level (e.g. temperature sensor). Sensors are not included in the kit and can be purchased separately if needed.

List of ConnectHome sensors that can be connected to the CH-501*:

Binary sensors	Multi-level sensors
CH-S04.10 motion sensor - illumination (10m radius)	CH-S01 temperature sensor
	CH-S02 temperature and humidity sensor
	CH-S06 power sensor

All sensors are connected to a special S-Bus connector located on the body of the device.Sensors are used to assess the environment in your home:

• temperature measurements;
• measurement of the relative humidity of the air;
• lighting level;
• the presence of movement.

In the network, sensors are displayed as structural units (endpoints) of the CH-501 module. The data are transmitted to the controlling controller via radio commands

Important: Only one ConnectHome sensor can be connected to the special S-Bus connector on the CH-501. The sensor must be connected before connecting the module to the network.

If you need to connect a sensor after connecting the module to the network, you must first remove it and then add it again after connecting the sensor.

Choosing a place to install the IR module

You can place the CH-501 module in any convenient location, but note that the IR transmitter must be fixed so that it faces the direction of the IR receiver of the device you want to control.
