My Scenarios
A scenario allows you to define a special atmosphere for your home by combining the movement
of various products independently of each other. In one scenario, some products will open, others
will clsoe, some will be positioned at the favourite position – My (favorite position must be pre-
defined by installer) and others will not be affected.
For example, to preserve the coolness inside the after-summer afternoons, the blind of the rooms
facing south will bring in favorite position, the shade of the terrace will go down to protect the
furniture from direct sunlight in the living room.
Note: To update a scenario, for instance changing the command of an item, adding or removing
an item from a scenario, please follow the instruction explained in <Set My Scenario> section.
