HIQ is a home automation system, including
lights, blinds, heating and cooling; temperature
monitoring, energy management, timetable,
evant-based automation and security alarm.
HIQ consists both of hardware and software.
Although basically simple, expansion
capabilities are virtually unlimited. System is
configurable, programmable, and allow
integration of multiple HIQ installations into a
single functional unit.
HIQ can be used for both a new project and
renovation. Most of the work is done by a
electrician, no specialized expert is needed.
Configuration can be done by end-user.
System design is straight forward, there are no
complicated compatibility or dependency rules.
HIQ is open to other home devices, either by
integrating them in the system (e.g. touchless
buttons), or cooperate on the signal level (e.g.
professional alarm).

channels.
White temperature mode goes between different
shades of white, from cool daylight to warm
incandescent tone.
Evo light synchronize light temperature with time of
the day. At the evening, lights will smoothly slide into
a warmer, cosy tone.

out-of-the-box vs project-based features
HIQ system offer many out-of-the-box functions. However, modern home automation is
all about integration, and that is where the HIQ excels. HIQ is capable of connecting
various devices into a functional system. Integration is project-based, each building is
attuned to investor requirements.

- wide temperature range
Power consumption
HIQ take a great care to use
as little electricity as possible.
Firmware
All devices are build to implement
firmware upgrade, so the future for
your investment is assured.
CAN bus is a multi-master,
deterministic bus which offer
optimum between performance,
network architecture and cost.
Autorange inputs always
ensure a full scale motion.
No batteries
The whole system is operated

RGB dimmer
hue, saturation and brightness
12
Features
In RGB mode, dimmer channels are connected to red,
green, blue and white lights. White channel is
optional. Instead of individual channels, user controls
total brightness, hue and saturation.
In RGB mode, saturation goes from white to selected
color (0..100%). In white temperature mode,
saturation goes from natural white (white strip) to
selected white (0..100%).
RGB dimmer may be used in white temperature
mode. Here, user controls brightness and white
temperature. White light is obtained by mixing all four
channels. For best result, use
(warm white) and RGB strip 5600K (cool white).

15
Features
Smart light is based on presence and low light signal. It is
used for living room and it can be combined with evo light.
Ready light take advantage of motion and door sensors. It
is suitable for occasionally used spaces, such as bathroom.
Motion sensor automation cover hallway, stairs and porch.
Light goes off after timeout.
Door sensor cover small rooms used temporary, like a
closet, cloak or wardrobe.
Other areas, like a bedroom, can't be automated and must
be handled manually.
HIQ system offers several ways to automate lights. The
appropriate configuration is selected based on the way
how the space is intended to be used.

Input setup
Sensors are connected to

Input must be configured to

Sensor placement
For a best result, sensor must
be activated just after person
closes the door.
Short timeout
Time from closing the door to
light off. If time is too short,
light may turn off after
entering the room.
Long timeout
Time from leaving the room to
light off, without closing the
door.
How does it work
When door begins to open, reed sensor is activated and the light turns on. When a person enters the room and
closes the door, PIR activation means person is surely in the room. As long as door is closed, light will stay on.
When person leaves room and closes door, system will wait for a short time, then turn the light off. If the door is
left open, long timeout is active. If the PIR sensor is not activated during that time, light switches off.
Features:
- instant on as soon as door begins to open
- never turn off while somebody is inside
- quickly turns off when everybody is out
Ready light is an advanced lighting
system, based on motion and door
sensors. It is best suited for closed
spaces that residents don’t occupy
permanently.

Evo light
automatic transition to warm evening lights
18
Features
Evo light is a half-automatic system for controlling light temperature. It uses RGB dimmer in
white temperature mode. Brightness is controlled by user, hue and saturation are controlled
by the system.
During the selected period, lights are going from a cool white to warm white, perfectly
matching our natural daily cycle.
System can be combined with smart lights. In that case, operation is fully automatic, smart
lights control brightness, and evo light control light temperature.

Operation
To configure evo light, first experimentally the best light for
early and late evening. Start hour and transition time should be
configured so the warm light is reached at least one hour before
bedtime.
When dimmer is switched back to RGB mode, evo light will
automatically stop. Enabling again, it will catch on correctly,
recalculating the new parameters.
find
Note: evo light
setup is located
on RGB page.
Term evo is a short for ‘evolution’. During the
most of our evolutionary past, our ancestors
were using no artifical lighting, so daily rhythm
was synchronized by sunlight. Evo light is an
attempt to mimic that natural conditions.
