1 INTRODUCTION
Iddero touch panels are advanced systems that let users monitor and control home and building
automation installations based on KNX technology.
Besides allowing for local monitoring and control from the touch panel itself, Iddero touch panels
feature an integrated web server for access to the system from a smart phone, tablet, PC, or any other
device equipped with a standard web browser. Additionally, the HC2-KNX and HC2L-KNX models can
be used as indoor terminals for compatible video door phones, and for IP camera monitoring.
This manual is intended for installers and system integrators, and provides technical information about
the operation and configuration of Iddero touch panels.
2 OVERVIEW
2.1 System Components
Iddero touch panels are wall-mounted units that can be conveniently and intuitively controlled through
their colour touch screen (1).
The unit features a LED status indicator (2) which provides immediate visual feedback of the system
overall status, according to the following colour coding:
Colour Meaning
Red There is an active or pending alarm, or the bypass function has been enabled
Yellow Presence simulation in progress
Green Normal operation
The HC2-KNX and HC2L-KNX models also feature a built-in microphone (3) and stereo speakers
(hidden behind the display) for the video door phone function.

2.2 Basic Operation
Touch Panel Operation
The user interface of Iddero touch panels is designed to be conveniently operated without the need of
external devices such as a stylus. Simply touch with your finger on the graphical representation of
buttons, icons, or any other element you want to activate.
User Interface Elements
The following screenshot shows the main elements of the user interface.

At the top of the screen, the status bar (1) shows the current date and time, as well as the name of the
page or function currently shown. This area may also include different icons that provide additional
information about the system status.
Icon Meaning
KNX communication error
TCP/IP communication error
Error sending e-mail notifications
Problem with GSM module
Active or pending alarms
Bypass function enabled
Presence simulation in progress
Internal thermostat operating in cool / heat mode
Internal thermostat not operating: An error occurred while reading the probe temperature
Internal thermostat not operating: Internal temperature is stabilizing
Incoming video door phone call
Video door phone call in progress
The central area of the screen (2) shows different icons, buttons and additional items that you can use
control the system.
At the bottom of the screen, the navigation bar (3) allows you to move quickly between different pages
linked to a particular zone (see Chapter 3, User Interface).
The “Back” icon (4) allows you to return to the previous page or section at any time.
2.3 Install Mode
Entering Install Mode
Certain operations, such as uploading a new project to the touch panel or updating the firmware, can
only be accomplished if the system is in a special mode named install mode.
In order to enter install mode, reboot the system and touch on the lower right corner on the screen for
at least three seconds during the loading process. The touch panel will beep three times to
acknowledge the request and will enter install mode (the unit also enters install mode automatically
the first time it boots, or when no valid project data is found.)

Network configuration
In order to access the touch panel from your PC, both devices must be in the same TCP/IP subnet.
For example, if the touch panel’s IP address is 192.168.0.200, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
(default values), the IP address of the PC should also be in the 192.168.0.x range (for example,
192.168.0.201), with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
The current IP address and subnet mask of the touch panel are shown on the installation screen.
Please refer to your operating system’s documentation for detailed help on configuring the network
settings on your PC.

3.1 General Navigation Structure
Iddero touch panels’ user interface is organized into “pages”. The following figure shows the general
navigation structure graphically.

Touch
Once the system starts up, the home page is automatically shown. This page can display a
configurable logo (if not customized, the Iddero logo is shown by default).
Control pages are configurable pages that allow for control and monitoring of the devices and
appliances in the home or building.
Predefined pages or specific function pages are non-configurable pages that provide access to
specific system functions, such as time schedules, scenes, etc.

3.2 Control Pages
Overview
Conceptually, the installation is considered to be divided into zones. Zones are arbitrary groups of
elements and devices (“components”) within the installation. A zone may represent, for example, a
room in a house, an office, a specific department in a services building, or just a group of devices that
may not actually share a physical location.
Devices associated with a zone are, in turn, arranged in one or more control pages. Grouping of
devices into pages can be done according to different criteria: function, frequency of use of the
devices, etc.
Each zone can consist of up to eight control pages, and each control page can group up to eight
devices. Therefore, up to 64 devices are allowed per zone.
Zone Selection
Zone selection can be done through maps, which are often used to graphically represent the home or
building plan. A series of “active areas” or touch areas is defined in each map. Each touch area can
lead to a zone, or to another map. It is therefore possible to establish a hierarchy of maps for more
complex installations, or just use one single map for simpler installations.
Map definition is entirely optional. If maps have not been defined in the project configuration, the
system will just display a list of zones, allowing the user to select zones by name.

Page Layout
The number of devices that can be displayed on a control page depends on the layout that was
configured for that page. The following figure shows the available layouts. There are eight generic
layouts, plus one specific layout for HVAC control pages.

Component Types
The different types of components that can be used in control pages are briefly described below.
Some components are “generic” and can be used with arbitrary KNX communication objects, whereas
other components are specifically designed to control certain types of actuators.
The following generic component types can be used:
-Indicator: A generic “read-only” component that displays the current state of the associated KNX
communication object. The state of the communication object can be displayed as text, using
icons, or –for numeric data types– with a level bar.
-Universal push button: A generic component that displays the state of a communication object and
can also send values to the communication object when the component is pressed. The value to
be sent depends on the configuration of the push button:
Send a single value on press
Send different values on press and release
Send different values on short press and long press
Send a user-selected value out of several available options (up to four options can be
configured per button)
-Regulation bar: A generic component that displays and sends values to a communication object
through an interactive regulation bar. This component can be used with numeric data types.
-Numeric keypad: A generic component that displays and sends values to a communication object
through an interactive numeric keypad. This component can be used with numeric data types.
-Text keyboard: A generic component that displays and sends values to a communication object of
type Character (DPT 4.x) or String (DPT 16.x), using a full interactive keyboard.
The following table shows compatible KNX data types for each of the above mentioned generic
components:
