System Function Test

After configuring the system, use Home + Project to test it without additional tools. Follow these steps:

1. Test each device to ensure proper configuration and functionality.
2. Identify and resolve any configuration errors highlighted during testing.

Exporting of Device Addresses

In specific scenarios requiring SCS addresses export, follow these steps:

1. Use Home + Project to export SCS addresses of configured devices to a file.

A tool just for you

The Home + Project application, developed by BTicino, is a dedicated working tool for installers, which they can use to design and configure MyHOME home automation systems on site using iOS and Android smartphones or tablets. This document explains the new functions introduced to make it even easier and more intuitive to use.

Home + Project main features:

• Tool for the configuration and testing of all system devices;
• Copy and Paste function to replicate projects and save time;
• Share projects with colleagues;
• Archiving of all projects for future use or maintenance.

Requirements for using Home + Project

A server, selected according to the type of system, must be installed in the MyHOME system:

• Item F460 or MyHomeserver1 with updated firmware (version 2.32.9 or later): MyHOME servers for DIN switchboards that enables remote configuration and management of the system. Choose it in case of new installations without video door entry function or where it is used with a HOMETOUCH touch screen.
• Classe 300EOS with Netatmo: the first video internal unit with built-in Alexa assistant that also functions as a server for the MyHome system. Choose it in the case of new installations where the integration of the video door entry system is also required: easy, flexible and savings!

Configuration backup and restore Backup

The system backup and restore function allows to replacement of the system server without having to completely restore the configuration of all devices All data on rooms, objects, groups, scenarios and gateway settings configured with Home + Project will be automatically transferred to the new server.

Note: backup only possible for systems configured with Home + Project. For the other systems, it will be necessary to first carry out the configuration with the application and then proceed with the respective backup. Customisations made by the user, such as temperature programming, new scenarios, smart notifications and scheduled automation will not be saved in the backup.

System function test

After completing the configuration of the system, Home + Project can be used to test the system, without the need for other tools or the Home+Control application intended for your customer. During the test, it will be possible to check that each device has been configured and is working correctly. Any configuration errors will be highlighted so that they can be resolved. Exporting of device addresses

In special situations, such as the configuration of advanced applications via Driver Manager F459 or the definition of complex scenarios, the export of certain configuration details of the SCS addresses of the devices in the system may be required. This operation is now possible using the Home + Project app, which allows all SCS addresses of configured devices updated at the last connection to the system to be exported to a file.

System configuration even when the Internet is not available

Thanks to the “local” connection of the Smartphone with the web server, it is now possible to configure a new MyHOME system on-site even if the Internet network is not available. When the Internet network then becomes available, all configuration data stored in the Smartphone will be transferred to the Legrand Cloud for archiving.

Firmware update from Home + Project

The availability of new firmware is notified by a “popup” message in the application, through which it will be possible to update the web server in two steps:

1. Downloading the firmware to the Smartphone from the Legrand Cloud.
2. Uploading the firmware to the web server; can also be done in the absence of the Internet network.

“Identify” test for the recognition of the loads

During the system configuration, with this function, the installer will be able to configure an actuator that may not be easily accessible. Thanks to the “Identify Test” in the system, the loads connected to the actuators are activated in sequence, allowing, for each actuator, the identification of the channel number to be associated with the respective control device and graphic icon.

Calibration of the temperature probe

If the MyHOME thermostat is installed near a window or a hot water pipe, the measured temperature may differ from the actual temperature. This could cause unexpected behaviour in the temperature control system. To solve this issue, Home + Project offers a special calibration function to be used during installation, with the object of directly setting the measured temperature.

Association of several control devices with one actuator

This new function allows, with one operation, to associate several control devices with a single actuator (light or shutter). This will simplify and speed up the putting into service of the system, as there will be no need to repeat the pairing procedure for each control device with the same actuator if required. Automatic association of controls with actuators

With this new function, after selecting an actuator to be configured, Home + Project will automatically suggest the respective control device to be associated. This will allow to reduce the time for putting into operation the system by eliminating possible configuration errors. However, it will still be possible to select a different control device, if preferred. Even more stable connection to the system

In addition to the introduction of new functions, Home + Project has been improved to make the system configuration safer and more reliable. The occasional interruption or disconnection of the app from the system when the smartphone receives a phone call or a message, starts another app or accidentally crashes, will no longer occur.

Compatibility with Tablet devices

If you are already using an iOS or Android Tablet for your work, you can also use it to configure MyHOME. Home + Project is officially compatible with this device, which, thanks to its large screen, offers a more comfortable user experience.

Replacement of a device without reconfiguring the system.

With this function, replacing a device in the system for maintenance does not require reconfiguring all other devices. Depending on the model, the new device inherits the complete configuration of the previous one, including scenarios, groups, and temperature control profiles. The function is guaranteed only if the replacement device has the same article code.
