====== HIQ FAQ ======


=?=== Features =====


??? Can I connect a water detector for leakages?
A water detector features digital output and can be connected to a free input on [[en:hiq_hw:lc-10-iq|LC-10-IQ light controller]]. \\
Indication may be transmitted on one (or all) of the following ways:
  * The appropriate output can be connected to actuator which closes the water in the whole house/apartment.
  * Indication with a horn/light  (or a scene) which is linked to an appropriate output.
  * Connection with home alarm.
  * Connection with [[en:hiq_hw:gsm-sa|GSM modem]] that sends SMS and/or make a telephone call

??? What if the sensor has an analogue output 0-10V?
Analogue sensors are not supported as standard and you need a custom programming.\\
[[en:hiq_hw:hc-iq|Home controller]] already includes 4 8-bit analogue inputs and if you need a higher accuracy AD module can be added to the system.


=?=== Hardware =====

??? I would like to check and set the temperature of hot domestic water with my smartphone. How can I do that and what type of equipment do I need? 
You need one of thermostats to which you connect additional external sensor ([[en:hiq_hw:es-iq|ES-IQ]] or [[en:hiq_hw:es-a-iq|ES-A-IQ]])  which is installed in/on the water heater.  Combination is then configured in HIQ Configurator and water temperature is controlled in the same way as the temperature in a room.



=?=== Software =====

??? I have an oil heater. During the transitional period (in spring and autumn) I would like that it operates only for one hour in the morning and for two hours in the evening. What kind of custom programming do I need? 
No additional programming is needed. You should connect the oil heater power supply to one of free outputs on [[en:hiq_hw:lc-10-iq|LC-10-IQ light controller]]. Then you use a free timetable in [[en:hiq_home:applications:configurator|HIQ configurator]] and set appropriate output (or you combine it with a scene and/or thermostat-s).
