Chapter 17—Restart
The Home Control Assistant 5
 When HCA is restoring from a power failure, every device in your home is sent either an
On, Off, or Dim command. If your home contains modules like the SC546 remote chime
or the UM506 universal module, you may not want them to activate during recovery. In
the power failure recovery options for the corresponding HCA devices, select
Make sure
the device is OFF.
These types of devices don’t activate when they receive an OFF
command.
 If you want to have a specific program run when a power outage is detected (of course,
the computer must be powered by a UPS) or when power is restored, there are triggers for
this. Add a trigger of the
Special Trigger type and choose the trigger type you want.
 For restart to happen after a power failure your computer must boot, log in, and start
HCA. For more information in having HCA automatically login, see the technical notes
section on the support web site.
