Overview
For your information
Technical terms are explained in the Appendix on Page 35 of these
instructions. They are identified in the text by an *.
Application
The Hometronic Voice & Web Interface HCI 300 enables you to
remotely poll and regulate the Lifestyles* of your Hometronic Manager
via a telephone line. This can be done with a telephone or via the
Internet. In addition, the HCI 300 outputs telephone messages
automatically. For this purpose, the Hometronic Voice & Web Interface
is connected before the existing communication equipment
(telephone, fax machine, etc.).
Scope of delivery
•Hometronic Voice & Web Interface HCI 300
•Power supply with cable
•Telephone cable with TAE plug* (HTK 200, German connection
variant)
•Telephone cable with RJ11 plug* (HTA 200, international
connection variant for connection to an adapter)

Scope of functions
The Hometronic Voice & Web Interface HCI 300 is a modem with
three basic functions:
1. Dialing into the Hometronic System (poll Lifestyle)
2. Alarm output at any desired telephone
3. Internet access to the Hometronic System
Dialing into the Hometronic System (poll Lifestyle)
Dialing into the Hometronic System is established via the standard
telephone line (TAE connection). When dialing in, the HCI 300
responds with "Please enter your PIN". It then provides spoken
information as to which Lifestyle is activated or asks which Lifestyle
you would like to activate. The HCI 300 guides you through the
individual steps via spoken commands. You must confirm each entry
with the pound sign (#).
Alarm output at a telephone
An alarm could be triggered when a smoke detector activates a
Lifestyle and a Lifestyle is assigned to the message text, for example.
The message text is forwarded to the entered telephone numbers.
You can assign a Lifestyle from 1 to 16 to each of the five alarm
messages. An assigned alarm message is deactivated by the Lifestyle
number 0. The HCI 300 says the message text to the receiver,
regardless of whether it’s a person, answering machine or a mailbox.
The voice message of the message texts can be suppressed.

Scope of functions
6
If the first telephone number is busy, an alarm message can be output
to a second telephone number. The first and second telephone
numbers are called three times in an alternating fashion until the call
is confirmed with the pound key (#). An alarm message is not
repeated.
When using the HX 10 expansion module and activated priority
input "1", you must suppress the alarm so that the alarm message is
not repeated (see "Suppressing alarm/message text" on Page 24).
Internet access to the Hometronic System
A Hometronic service provider is required for Internet access. This
provider enables you to communicate with the Hometronic System via
the Internet. To establish the connection to the server, enter a "0"
instead of the telephone number when entering the "alarm telephone
numbers". In addition to the dialing-in and the alarm output (described
above), access to the Hometronic via the Internet offers additional
functions from the provider.

Installation
7
Installation
A standard telephone cable connected to an N-encoded*
telephone jack is required for the HCI 300 (see "Checking
wiring of telephone jack" on Page 9).
Caution!
The HCI 300 communicates with the Hometronic
Manager via a wireless connection.
►Install other electronic devices in a distance of at least
30 cm from the HCI 300.
►Do not wind the power cable around the HCI 300.
►When selecting the operating site, ensure that there is
sufficient distance to metallic objects such as steel
reinforcements, metallic wallpapers, etc.
►The distance between the HCI 300 and the HCM 200
and other wireless components may not exceed 30 m.

Preparation
The HCI 300 must be connected to the leftmost N-encoded
connection of the telephone jack.
►Remove the front cover of the
HCI 300.
The jacks and terminals can
now be seen.
Securing Hometronic Voice & Web Interface
►Mark the holes for mounting the
HCI 300.
►Secure the HCI 300 with three
screws.
Do not reattach the front cover of the HCI 300 until startup is
complete.

If the HCI 300 is connected to the voltage supply (e.g. at first
startup or after a power failure), both LEDs go on and off
repeatedly.

Startup
15
Startup
The HCI 300 can only be used via a telephone with DTMF
dialing*.
►To start up the HCI 300, you must remove the front cover (see
"Installing Hometronic Voice & Web Interface" on Page 10).
►Connect the HCI 300 to the voltage supply by plugging the power
supply into an electrical outlet.
Both LEDs on the HCI 300 go on and off repeatedly. Both LEDs go
out after a short time.
If one of the LEDs does not go out, the cabling is not correct
(see "Connecting Hometronic Voice & Web Interface" on
Page 11).
►Pick up the receiver of the telephone attached to the connection jack
of the HCI 300.
A dial tone can be heard.
If a dial tone cannot be heard, the cabling is not correct (see
"Help with problems" on Page 37).
►Perform binding.

Startup
16
If other communication devices (fax machine, additional telephone,
etc.) are used in addition to the telephone:
►Check to make sure that the other devices function properly.

Performing binding
17
Performing binding
The HCI 300 must be assigned to the Hometronic Manager before
they can exchange data. This process is called "binding".
Two steps must be carried out to perform binding:
•Activating binding at Hometronic Voice & Web Interface
•Activating binding at Hometronic Manager
To perform binding, the front cover must be removed (see
"Installing Hometronic Voice & Web Interface" on Page 10).
Activating binding at Hometronic Voice & Web Interface
►Press the Binding button at least 5 times within 10 seconds.
The red LED in the HCI 300 flashes. The HCI 300 is now in
Binding mode.
Binding mode remains active for a maximum of 3 minutes.
After this period, the HCI 300 returns to normal operation. The
previous settings remain unchanged.
