and off electrical appliances or the irrigation
system.
Every alarm and timer status is presented on
a summary page; a detail window is
displayed when each timer or alarm icon is
pressed.
Alarms/timers can be activated (On) or
deactivated (Off); activation timing and the
weekly schedule can be easily set up or
modified at any time.
Timers and Alarms can be combined to
create sophisticated automation logic. For
example, a multiple zones irrigation set up
can be configured to alternatively activate
different pumps and valves, and will be
automatically disabled in case of rain or
strong wind, thus reducing water waste.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION AND SCENARIOS
A scenario is a combination of settings,
such as room temperature, lighting and
appliances status (like the multi-room music
system and home theatre system, or even
the coffee machine), working together to
create an overall living experience tailored
to the requirements of the users.
HSYCO is key to make different systems
functioning smoothly and efficiently in an
integrated way, overcoming potential issues
created by the diverse protocols and
standards used by each one of them.
For example, according to the status of the
security system, lights can be turned on or
off, shutters can be open or closed, video
recording from the surveillance camera can
be started or stopped.
Complex scenarios can be defined in
HSYCO, where actions depend on
sophisticated programming logic and
special conditions, combining events from
different field systems.
HSYCO can activate the scenarios that have
been configured within each of the
controlled field systems.
Chains of events for separate systems can be
triggered simultaneously.
All scenarios can be activated manually, at
a predefined time or when a specific event
is detected.
IRRIGATION, TIMERS, ALARM CLOCKS
HSYCO provides a very simple interface for
alarm clocks as well as for timers turning on

!
!
When local weather data - such as rain and
wind conditions - are available on the
Internet or when a weather station is
installed, HSYCO uses these information to
control the irrigation system, eliminating the
installation and maintenance costs of rain
detection sensors.
For business installations, HSYCO provides
a powerful scheduling module, designed for
coordinating the functionalities of many
different systems.
Complex scheduling rules are supported,
together with calendars, interval operations,
daily programs. Each timer is assigned a
priority, so there’s no need to change the
main schedule to cover for exceptions.
enabling the set up of cleverly customised
energy management solutions.
!
!
!

The efficient use of energy requires an
accurate knowledge on how and where it is
used in the first place. HSYCO offers an
intuitive yet complete representation of the
statistical data on resource usage: electricity,
water, temperature readings, HVAC system
power on time, lighting usage and intensity
for any designated room or area of the
building.
All these data are collected and presented
with real-time hourly, daily and monthly
charts, with no preset time limit, and are
also available for download.
!
Timer configuration and management is a
guided, user friendly process.
!
!
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
When an integrated control system is
installed, all energy resources in a building
are automatically used in a more efficient
way.
Even in simple implementations, the
possibility of differentiated control of the
heating and cooling systems by room or
area, windows and blinds automatic closing
while leaving or at night, accurate shading
of all rooms and a precise and powerful
lighting control are key to generating
remarkable savings.
HSYCO supports all these functionalities
with unparalleled flexibility and simplicity,
!
!
Data trends can also be displayed.
HSYCO supports the Modbus TCP Client/
Server and Modbus RTU Master protocols.
This makes it easy to interface controllers,
!10
sensors, metering devices and PLC based
systems in order to collect information
about data readings and operational
parameters. Again, this data can be
presented in aggregated or detailed form on
the control interface and also used to
implement energy efficiency scenarios.
The scheduling functionality embedded into
HSYCO enables a very refined control of
the operating parameters and of the power
on time of all the energy usages in a
household or a building.
!
MULTI-ROOM MUSIC
A multi-room music system is a
combination of connected devices that
distribute music from several sources to
different areas of a house or a building.
Local zones can
be controlled
independently
one from each
other. Multi-room
music players can
be connected
either through a
dedicated bus
cabling system or
via standard LAN. HSYCO integrates
systems of both types. The user interface
replicates the control keypads, while also
allowing full customisation of the control
logic. The multi-room music system can
thus be managed from portable devices,
locally and remotely.
Common functionalities include: music
source selection, music library browsing,
multiple zones synchronisation and desynchronisation.
!
!11
!
!
Thanks to the HSYCO configuration center,
the HSYCO MANAGER, any multi room
system with a serial or IP control protocol
can be easily integrated in the HSYCO
control interface. For selected systems, a
dedicated graphical object is already
included in the standard HSYCO interface.
The list of these devices is continuously
updated and can be found at
www.hsyco.com.
With HSYCO, the multi-room music is
integrated with all other automation
systems. For example, music can be played
when presence is detected in a room, or
when the light is turned on, and turned off
when the exit or night scenario is activated.

!
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
!
HSYCO integrates with modern networkbased digital video cameras to provide live
and recorded images.
All the key features of a complete video
surveillance system are already in HSYCO.
This comes with the additional benefits and
flexibility of a fully integrated system.
The HSYCO Web based user interface for
video cameras visualisation and control is
highly configurable, very effective and easy
to use from any device running a Web
browser, such as PCs, smartphones, tablets,
iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
The video streams are optimised to
g u a ra n t e e p e r f o r m a n c e e ve n wh e n
connected through a basic 3G network.
This way a single device such as a tablet, a
smartphone or an iPod touch can replace
many traditional remote controls, in any
location in the building, locally and
remotely.
HSYCO is flexible and expandable, so it
can be configured to match the very
specific integration needs, both in terms of
products and functionalities, that are typical
of the elaborated world of high-end video
distribution.
For example, using both serial and LAN
protocols, HSYCO can control HDMI video
matrix switches and modern home theater
devices, forging a system very simple to use
out of a complex maze of different
products.
!
!
!
!
!
!
Last but not least, the functionalities of the
distributed video system can be coordinated
Video recording can be triggered by
camera-detected motion events as well as
by any other event in the connected
systems, including the anti intrusion, fire/gas
detection and access control systems or
door locks.
Recordings can be conveniently browsed
using a scrollable pull down list in the video
surveillance page.
!12
HSYCO can automatically send e-mails
with live or recorded video frames.
HSYCO supports PTZ video cameras (i.e.,
with Pan - Tilt - Zoom functionality). The
control of orientation, zoom and focus can
be smoothly performed by clicking on
specific areas inside the camera image. PTZ
cameras pre-set positions can be controlled
as well.
Different combinations of video cameras,
even installed in multiple locations, can be
defined to create matrix pages (grids).
HSYCO can present the camera images’
grids on the display of Snom VoIP phones.
!
!
!
!
ANTI INTRUSION
Thanks to the HSYCO integration engine,
complex and sophisticated security systems
can be implemented by combining the
functionalities of state-of-the-art anti
intrusion, access control, fire/gas/water
alarms, localisation and video surveillance
systems with field automation, networking
and telephony.
For example, lights and camera recording
can be turned on when a sensor detects a
presence in a room, or the armoured
shutters can be automatically closed when
perimeter sensors are triggered.
!
In order to comply with privacy regulations,
HSYCO can be configured to automatically
delete all recorded videos after a predefined
amount of time which can be different for
each camera.
The recording function can be disabled for
one or more video cameras.
Users can access the cameras images
according to their specific profile; access
can be completely or partially restricted.
Thanks to the text-to-speech functionality,
HSYCO can route information and alarm
messages through the cameras’
microphones.
This features leads the way to the design of
innovative applications where field systems
and camera motions’ events trigger text-to!13
speech messages. These applications have a
wide range of implementations, spanning
from security and safety, to comfort and
ease of usability and to solutions aimed at
increasing the independence of disabled or
elderly people.
!
!
!
!
Thanks to the text-tospeech functionality, voice alert messages
can be broadcasted through the multi-room
speaker system, via the speaker on Axis
digital cameras or sent to the VoIP
telephones from Snom.
HSYCO integrates with many leading anti
intrusion systems, reading and displaying
the real-time status of the main unit and of
all sensors, both locally and from remote
access.
All events can be permanently saved in
HSYCO log files. A complete log is visible
on the control page. The standard user
interface replicates the graphics and the
look and feel of the anti intrusion system
control panel.
The HSYCO integration with the anti
intrusion systems is performed through
manufactures’ supplied protocols. The
security and data encryption of the anti
intrusion set up is preserved completely.
There’s no need for third party gateways.
The control is smooth, flexible and secure.
Also, we support each system through its
evolution over time.
HSYCO supports full bi-directional
communication with a GSM modem,
implementing IVR (interactive voice
response) features on incoming and
outgoing calls, for phone messaging with
text-to-speech. Full VoIP telephony and
Intercom features can be extended to the
VoIP Touch by HSYCO touch PC.
On large projects, HSYCO can
simultaneously control and integrate
multiple anti intrusion systems, creating a
full featured customised security control
interface for professional installations.

In addition to the integrated web based
control interface, that can be accessed by
any PC or mobile device running a modern
web browser, HSYCO, thanks to its digital
signage functionality, can display a
combined overview of the status of all the
security systems, for example of the anti
intrusion, the access control and the fire
detection, on dedicated control room
monitors.
!
FIRE DETECTION
HSYCO integrates with fire detection
systems from leading manufacturers.
The complete control panel can be
replicated on the HSYCO interface.
The status of all sensors and alarms can be
displayed in a comprehensive view on a
graphical map, combined with the
information from other security systems,
such as anti intrusion, access control, video
surveillance, localisation, gas and water
leak detection.
HSYCO is the ideal supervision tool for
large scale projects, thanks to its
unparalleled capability to simultaneously
!
!
SAFETY AND SECURITY
HSYCO can integrate with many different
sensors to enhance the safety and the
security of the environment.
E-mail, SMS and telephone alerts can be
sent out when a safety alarm is detected.
!14
Text-to-speech notification messages can be
broadcasted to specific areas or throughout
the entire building.
Reactive scenarios can be configured.
For example, when a gas leak is detected,
HSYCO can automatically shut off the main
inflow, thus avoid potentially dangerous
situations.
HSYCO has a sophisticated leak detection
functionality, which adds flow analysis to
sensors readings, extending the protection
beyond bathroom and kitchens and to the
whole building.
This feature is the key for water leaks early
detection and for damage avoidance. While
a sensor can only detect a water leak after
the spill has already happened, HSYCO
flow analysis can alert of unusual, small and
continuous flows within the pipes, well
b e f o r e wa l l s , fl o o r s , f u r n i t u r e a n d
equipment are soaked.
HSYCO can also interface traditional water
leak sensors.
Many safety scenarios can be configured in
HSYCO for the protection of elderly or
disabled people.
Text-to-speech announcements can notify
people with vision impairment or mobility
limitations on any event occurring on the
automation and security systems or on any
scenario activated by HSYCO.
Lights turning on automatically on specific
events can also avoid dangerous accidents.
VoIP telephony systems, the VoIP touch by
HSYCO or portable devices can be used to
send alarms and requests for help or
assistance.
!
LOCATION SERVICES
Real time location systems can identify
people and objects and determine their
position inside and outside a building or a
pre-defined area even in large facilities,
where GPS-based technologies are not
applicable.
HSYCO integrates with the Wi-Fi based
location systems and enables the
!15
development of sophisticated breakthrough
applications by using the position
information for field systems control and to
enhance the effectiveness of the safety and
security systems.
Some of these applications can be very
simple and inexpensive, such as those
based on the identification of the access
point to which each controlling device is
connected. They can be easily implemented
through the HSYCO configuration center,
the HSYCO MANAGER.
Sophisticated implementations are made
possible by the integration between HSYCO
and the highly innovative technology of
Ekahau, a leading provider of RTLS (Real
Time Location Services) solutions.
!
!
!
HSYCO provides a complete and
customisable graphical user interface
granting full integration between the
location services and all other field systems,
such as video cameras, automations, audio
devices, lighting, anti intrusion, VoIP
telephony and many more.
While carrying a tag
(i.e., a portable device
similar to magnetic
cards) a person or an
object can be clearly
detected in real time
on a site map on the
HSYCO user interface with precise position
and movement information.
Thanks to HSYCO, the Ekahau tags can be
dynamically configured to open doors, turn
on lights or activate music depending on
each tag position.
The security, safety and video surveillance
systems can be fully coordinated with the
localisation services.
In addition, HSYCO secure remote access
functionality makes all these information
available just everywhere on any Tablet,
Smartphone or PC.
Traditional location systems often require a

lighting and automation systems
!16
• phones can be used to interact with the
VoIP door entry system. Scenarios can be
configured for routing calls to different
phones depending on the date/time.
Multiple gates can be managed, and a
specific logic can be defined, if required,
for each one of them
• on advanced IP phones with integrated
color display and browser, HSYCO can
visualise individual video cameras images
or camera grids, including those from IP
intercom systems, permanently or in case
of any event, such as a motion detection,
or a call from the entry station of the VoIP
intercom system
• high quality, multi language text-to-speech
messages or pre recorded audio files can
be sent to a specific phone or broadcasted
to a group of telephones. The messages
will be aired though each phone’s speaker
• push text messages can be shown on the
phone’s display even when they are in
stand-by mode
HSYCO detects in real time any calling
activity on the telephony system and
triggers actions based on custom

Some examples:
• the energy production data for a
photovoltaic inverter can be presented
together with the actual hours of sunshine
• the energy consumption data can be
displayed together with the expected cost
• the temperature trend of a designated
room can be coupled with the power on
time of the heating or cooling system
• the operational data of an industrial
automation plants can be associated with
the image of a surveillance camera.
CHARTS AND DIAGRAMS
The HSYCO DATA LOGGER includes many
useful tools for data presentation and
analysis:

corporate information panels showing, for
example, an appealing graphical
representation of the key environmental
data in a business establishment or the
energy consumption statistics for a
sustainable building.
