Numerous accessories are available to add more capabilities to HomeVision and HomeVision-Pro. Note
that, with the exception of the Port Extender Board, these accessories are not compatible
with HomeVision-PC.
Using these with HomeVision and HomeVision-Pro increases the total number of
hardware interfaces available. See our maximum hardware limits tables (for HomeVision and HomeVision-Pro)
to determine the maximum number of each interface type you can have.
The multifunction expansion board adds numerous capabilities to the HomeVision
and HomeVision-Pro controllers
 | 8 digital inputs identical to HomeVision and HomeVision-Pro Port B (protected to
+/- 30 VDC)
|
| 2 sets of 8 digital inputs similar to the input capability of HomeVision and
HomeVision-Pro Port C (0 to 5 VDC)
|
| NOTE: Any or all of the 3 sets of 8 digital inputs can instead be used as a port
extender for HomeVision ports A, B, or C. Connect a ribbon cable from HomeVision terminal
blocks to expansion board, then wire your I/O to expansion board terminal blocks.
HomeVision can then be easily unplugged from the expansion board and moved
|
| 8 analog inputs (0 to 5 VDC, 8-bit resolution (20mv))
|
| 8 zones of infrared output. 3.5mm jacks directly drive mini-emitters, allowing the
user to select which zone(s) a signal is transmitted to. The outputs can also drive connecting
blocks (although the individual zoning function may be lost for the zones driving the
connecting blocks, resulting in all connected zones driving all connecting block outputs).
If you don't need IR zoning, use the jacks as regular IR outputs and eliminate external connecting
blocks and power supplies
|
| Connects to digital temperature sensors:
|
| Connects HomeVision to input/output boards manufactured
by Sylva Control Systems. These boards provide 8 relays and 8 opto-isolated inputs.

| Uses standard communication settings of 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, and
no parity |
| Does not use flow control |
| Has the same software capabilities as the built-in serial port, with a few minor
exceptions
|
|
General information:
| Connects to HomeVision or HomeVision-Pro through the expansion board connector
(expansion boards can still be used) |
| Powered from HomeVision or HomeVision-Pro; no separate power supply needed |
| Only one HomeVision-Phone/Serial or HomeVision-Phone/CID can be used with
HomeVision or HomeVision-Pro |
| Download the Installation and Operation Manual in Microsoft Word format (Phone_Serial_II.doc) or PDF format (Phone_Serial_II.pdf) |
| This device was designed solely for the United States, and has not been tested to
the CE standards required in Europe. Many European users have successfully used it , but
we cannot guarantee its performance. |
| NOTE: Some phone lines have large
amounts of "common mode" AC noise on them. This noise is caused by
high-voltage AC power lines running near phone lines for long distances.
This noise is not audible, as it occurs equally on both wires, and phones
operate on the voltage differential between wires. However, this noise
can cause problems for HomeVision-Phone/Serial. In such situations,
Version I devices (generally sold before 2001) could have problems detecting
touchtones. The newer Version II devices are less susceptible to the
noise, but about 10% of users have problems where on/off hook status
detection is incorrect (touchtone detection isn't affected).
Unfortunately, we do not have a fix for this and cannot guarantee you won't
experience this problem. If you do have this problem, but aren't using
the touchtone detection feature, we can provide you a Version I device that
should meet your needs. |
Includes:
| Assembled circuit board (2.5" X 4.0") |
| Custom plastic enclosure |
| Ribbon cable to connect to HomeVision or
HomeVision-Pro |

These boards are made by Sylva Control Systems. Sylva Control Systems
manufactures a variety of input/output boards for their own control systems.
Their "8O8I" series of boards provide 8 relays and 8 opto-isolated inputs. You
can connect up to four of these boards to HomeVision or HomeVision-Pro.
Sylva Control Systems can be contacted at:
DIN-8O8I-U (or DIN-8O8IX-U or SC8O8IX-U) board description:
| 8 Single-Pole Double-Throw (Form C) relays (can switch an input to one of two output points) |
| Relays have an "RC snubber" circuit that makes them more immune to switching noise |
| 8 opto-isolated 12-24 VAC/VDC inputs |
| LEDs to indicate relay and input states |
| Pluggable terminal block connectors |
| 4 inches X 12 inches and designed for DIN mounting |
| Requires an external 12VDC or 24VDC transformer (boards
are available in both 12VDC and 24VDC versions). |
| You can read an application note for using this board with HomeVision or
HomeVision-Pro (here). |
| Connects to HomeVision or HomeVision-Pro either with a ribbon cable (using an I2C interface) or
to an RS-232 or RS-485 serial port, as described below:
| 3-foot ribbon cable: When used with HomeVision-Pro, the board connects
directly to it (to header H5 or H6). When used with HomeVision, you must also
have a Multifunction Expansion Board (the Sylva board connects to the Multifunction
Expansion Board). The cable uses the Sylva's I2C interface for communications, and
multiple boards can be connected in a series chain. |
| Serial port: The board connects to a HomeVision or HomeVision-Pro
serial port, as described below:
 | With HomeVision: The serial connection to HomeVision in three different ways: |
- Through a HomeVision-Serial add-on set to the RS-232 or RS-485 mode
(use RS-485 if you want to connect more than one Sylva board).
This is the preferred approach and is easiest to set up.
- Through a HomeVision-Phone/Serial add-on using the Sylva's RS-232 port.
- Through the built-in HomeVision serial port using the Sylva's RS-232 port.
| With HomeVision-Pro: The serial connection can be made in three different ways: |
- Through HomeVision-Pro serial ports 3 or 4 in either the RS-232 or RS-485 mode
(use RS-485 if you want to connect more than one Sylva board).
This is the preferred approach and is easiest to set up.
- Through a HomeVision-Phone/Serial add-on using the Sylva's RS-232 port.
- Through the main HomeVision-Pro serial port (port 1) using the Sylva's RS-232 port.
