CONTENTS
The Impresario Chronis io lets you create scenarios to adapt your comfort to suit your lifestyle.
Depending on the time of day, when night falls or based on signicant moments during the day,
these scenarios will automatically control the chosen opening movements, the right light level or
ideal temperature.
The Impresario Chronis io controls the whole house. The Impresario Chronis io can control all
equipment that uses io-homecontrol® radio technology, such as roller shutters, blinds, lights,
heating, skylights, garage doors, etc.

What is io-homecontrol®?1.1.
The Impresario Chronis io uses io-homecontrol®, the new universal and secure wireless
communication protocol, shared by worldwide leaders in the world of home equipment.
io-homecontrol® allows all comfort and security equipment in the home to communicate and be
controlled from a single common control point.
The exibility and perfect compatibility of the io-homecontrol® system provides support for you as
your needs evolve.
With the io-homecontrol® system you can, for example, start by automating your shutters and the
front door, then equip the outside awnings, the gate and garage door or garden lighting.
Even when tted at different times, all of this equipment remains compatible with the existing
installation thanks to the use of io-homecontrol® technology that guarantees interoperability.
For more information please visit the web site at www.io-homecontrol.com
Scenarios for your home1.2.
The Impresario Chronis io brings you a new way of life at home by providing "scenarios" to control
your home. You can create your own scenarios to match your needs, your mood, a time of day
(lighting, temperature level, simulated presence, watching TV, etc.). You can then "run" these
scenarios as you need them, either:
automatically using timed programming (daily or weekly) simply by placing the Impresario•
Chronis io on its wall mount, or
manually, by selecting the scenario appropriate to a situation.•
Examples of a day with the Impresario Chronis io:1.3.
7 a.m. The household wakes up with the "Wake up" scenario.
Up with the shutters. The skylights open halfway. Sun and fresh air come into the rooms.
A new day begins.
10 a.m. Protection from the sun with the "Sun" scenario.
Shutter slats tilt to the slightly open position. The terrace awning comes out. The
skylights close and the heating switches off.
2 p.m. Time to secure the house with the "Closed" scenario before going out.
Ground oor level shutters close. The garage door closes.
5.30 p.m. Time to dim the lights to work on the computer with the "PC" scenario.
Shutters on the south facing side roll down two-thirds, while the Venetian blind adjusts to
dim the outside light.
11 p.m. The household goes to bed with the "Night time" scenario.
All of the house shutters close, along with the gate and the garage door. The terrace
awning retracts. The outside lights are switched off.
The Impresario Chronis is designed to be very simple to use. There are two additional functions
that make using it especially intuitive.
The Snapshot function1.4.
Makes it very easy for you to create your own scenarios.
Programming a scenario is as simple as taking a photo!
The Feedback function1.5.
You always know what is going on at home.
The Impresario Chronis io indicates that motion is in progress and sends back conrmation once it
is nished.
Handy to know that a shutter is closed without the need to run around the house!

1.6. The programming steps you will need to set your Impresario Chronis io
into service
Name your products1.6.1.
To easily identify all of your products, you can assign them
names. Thanks to this function, if a fault occurs you will easily
be able to identify the affected product.
Create your scenarios using the Snapshot1.6.2.
function
- Up to 16 scenarios can be stored by the Impresario Chronis io.
- 3 preset scenarios are available when you set the system into
service:
• "Open-sy": open all applications,
• "Atm.-sy": position applications at their half way point,
• "Close-sy": close all applications.
Create your typical days (daily programming)1.6.3.
Using the scenarios created, you can assign times to some
of them to create typical days. Every typical day can run up to
4 scenarios a day. You can freely create and name up to 10
typical days.
For example: a "Week" day, a "Weekend" day, an
"Absence" day, etc.
A typical preset day is available when you set your system into
service: "Day-sy".
Create your typical weeks (weekly1.7.
programming)
From the typical days programmed, it is possible to make up typical weeks.
This way, for every day of the week, you can assign it a typical day of your choice or none at all.
The Impresario Chronis io lets you create 4 different typical weeks: "Work", "Holiday", etc.
Note: the preset programs in the Impresario Chronis io will automatically integrate each new
motor or receiver paired with the remote control transmitter. These programs can be modied and
deleted. If they are renamed or modied, they lose their capacity to automatically integrate a new
motor.

The clock built into the Impresario Chronis io is used to assign times to the previously created
scenarios so as to make up "Typical days" (daily programming). These "Typical days" can in turn
be used to make up "Typical weeks" (weekly programming).
In automatic mode, once the Impresario Chronis io is placed on its wall mount, it becomes possible
to choose a "Typical day" or a "Typical week". Scenarios will then be "run" automatically at the
programmed times.
Daily programming (Typical days)6.1.
From among the scenarios created, choose up to 4
scenarios by assigning them a time in order to create a
typical day.
10 different "Typical days" can be created this way.
The preset "Day-sy" typical day is available from setting
into service. It comprises:
• 7.30 a.m: "Open-sy"preset scenario
• 1 p.m: "Atm.-sy"preset scenario
• 9.30 p.m: "Close-sy"preset scenario
6.2. Weekly programming (Typical weeks)
From "Typical days", Impresario Chronis io lets you make
up "Typical weeks". For every day of the week, it becomes
possible to assign a "Typical day" from among the 10
previously created days.
For example: Monday to Friday, the "Work" day will run;
whereas on Saturday and Sunday the "Week-end" day will
run.
4 "Typical weeks" can be programmed this way.
