devolo Home Control
Home Control (also known as home automation) refers to the specific control of electrically operated indoor
household devices. The Home Control system by devolo uses the Z-WaveTM wireless standard.
A Home Control system requires a Z-WaveTM-compatible control unit such as the Home Control Central Unit
from devolo. Use its Home Control portal to coordinate the Home Control Door/Window Contact and all other
Home Control devices. You can access the Home Control Central Unit through the my devolo app and at
www.mydevolo.com in a browser.
For more information about setting up the Home Control Central Unit, please refer to the instal-
lation guide and/or Home Control online help.
Accessing the Home Control Central Unit via the my devolo app (for smartphone/tablet)
Open the my devolo app Home Control and select your Home Control Central Unit.

The Home Control Door/Window Contact
The Home Control Door/Window Contact consists of a contact and a magnet. It sends information on the open
or closed state of a door or window. It also cooperates with other Home Control devices. For example, an open
window can automatically shut off the heat radiator in the same room. In addition, the integrated light and
temperature sensors can act as initiators for the light controls. Furthermore, the Home Control Door/Window
Contact is equipped with an integrated LED and a release button.
For more detailed descriptions of the Home Control Door/Window Contact functions, refer to the
Home Control online help.

Installing the Home Control Door/Window Contact
When installing the Home Control Door/Window Contact (sensor and magnet), one component is mounted to
the moving part (window or door) and the other to the stationary part (frame). The magnet can be installed
on the right or left, vertically with respect to the sensor. Determine the best installation position for your case.
Install the Home Control Door/Window Contact on a flat and level surface so that the
black release button on the rear of the sensor is depressed when the device is in-
stalled.
Before permanently fastening the Home Control Door/Window Contact at the desired location, test vari-
ous positions to ensure that the magnet triggers the sensor. The distance between the sensor and mag-
net must be < 2 cm.
If the LED flashes red when the window or door is opened or closed, the position of the sensor is opti-
mal.

If using the double-sided tape to fasten the Home Control Door/Window Contact, adhere the
wider tape strip to the back of the sensor in the middle (below the release button) and attach the
sensor to the desired location, for example, on the window or door.
Then adhere the narrow tape strip to the back of the magnet in the middle and fasten this at a dis-
tance of < 2 cm from and centred with respect to the sensor, e.g. on the window frame or door
frame.
The notches on the magnet and of the sensor should line up with one another.

If you use screws to attach the Home Control Door/Window Contact, take apart the upper and
lower housing components of the sensor by pressing the tab down in order to release the housing
components (from top to bottom, and ).
쑗Take apart the upper and lower housing parts of the magnet, starting at the groove provided for this
purpose at the lower end of the magnet.
If installing to a wall using screws, make sure that no gas, water or power lines in
the wall get damaged. There is a danger of electric shock!
쑗Based on the template on the lower housing component of the sensor, drill holes at the
desired installation location on the window or door, and then attach the lower component using
screws.

쑗Based on the template on the lower housing component of the magnet, drill holes into the
window frame or door frame and then attach the lower component of the magnet using screws.
Position the magnet in the middle, at a distance < 2 cm from the sensor.
The notches on the magnet and of the sensor should line up with one another.
쑗To close the sensor housing, first insert the lower end of the upper housing component of the
sensor into the corresponding groove  in the lower housing component of the sensor and
then press the entire upper housing component, (from bottom to top, and ) onto the
lower component until it clicks into place.
쑗To close the magnet housing, insert the upper housing component of the magnet until it clicks
into place onto the lower housing component of the magnet. This completes the installation of
the Home Control Door/Window Contact.
From now on, you can take electronic control conveniently using the Home Control portal of the
Home Control Central Unit.
