Advanced modules and smart hosts feature built-in logic engines. Installers can create simple conditional rules using standard binary criteria:
Instead of addressing channels individually, program directly into your dimming and relay modules.

Click the connection search or check button. The software will ping the network to locate the active IP Gateway. Once found, match the target IP and port matching your hardware specifications (default port is typically 6000 ). Click . A green connection status indicator in the software interface confirms a successful link. Navigating the User Interface
Program a timed sequence of scenes (e.g., outdoor security lights stepping up sequentially) via the sequence setup window. 7. Advanced Configuration: Sensors, HVAC, and Logic Sensor Automation
Open the software and use the "Scan Device" function. The software will ping the bus and identify all connected devices. In Setup Tool 2, this process is faster and will often automatically populate the device list with the correct model numbers.
Maintain an accurate spreadsheet detailing the physical location, serial numbers, Subnet IDs, and Device IDs of every component installed across the property.
Configure : Define whether a channel turns ON, OFF, or reverts to its last state after a power outage. 2. Programming Wall Panels and Switches
Use the system's clock or sensor modules to automate daily tasks. You can program conditional logic, such as: If Motion is detected AND the time is between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM, turn on the hallway light at a soft 10% brightness. Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues Potential Cause Resolution Wrong Network Interface Card selected in software.
You need a gateway device to bridge your PC to the Buspro network. Common interfaces include: (via local network/Ethernet) HDL USB Interface (via direct physical connection) Step-by-Step Configuration Workflow Step 1: Establish the Connection
The is the primary Windows-based software used for configuring and commissioning HDL Buspro smart home and building automation systems.
While the original Setup Tool was reliable, Setup Tool 2 was introduced to modernize the user interface, improve stability, and accommodate the growing complexity of modern smart home devices.
As HDL has expanded its product line to include newer touch screens (like the Metal Touch Panel series) and advanced sensors, the software needed to keep up. Setup Tool 2 includes updated drivers and configuration windows for these newer devices, ensuring that legacy hardware and brand-new tech can coexist on the same network without compatibility headaches.
