OnQ Lighting Control (ALC)
The Lighting Control system (ALC) provides the homeowner the ability to control and program house lighting with more versatility than ever before. Switches and dimmers can be programmed to control more than a single light or outlet. Complete "lighting scenes" can be created and stored for recall at the touch of a switch, time of day or event action. Dimming levels can be preset or easily changed to new levels by the user. The ALC Interface module, switches and dimmers are an optional add-on to either the HMS 925 or 1050 Home Management Systems. In addition, the ALC can be programmed to work in House Mode scenarios. For example, an "at home" mode would set all indoor and outdoor lighting levels, arm or disarm the security system, set the heating or cooling level and open the drapes. Multiple house mode settings are possible with the HMS system. The HMS/ALC system responds instantly to system commands or a lengthy program macro. System programming (security, energy, appliance, lighting) can be done by the interested home owner using the OnQ HMS Homeowners Software (Part No. 363446-02). 
Although the HMS system also controls lighting using X-10 modules, the ALC system adds enhancements and versatility above what an X-10 system offers. The ALC interface module for the HMS 925 system offers 31 points of lighting/appliance control. The ALC interface module for the HMS 1050 system offers 4 branches of 31 points for a total of 124 lighting/appliance control points. The ALC Interface Module is mounted onto the HMS system controller with a jumper connection for power and communications. Control, status and programming information is entered and displayed on the HMS keypad LCD read-out.

ALC wall switches include four types: Relay Switches (for on-off lighting/power control), Dimmer Switches (for light dimming control), Auxiliary Switches (for "slave" of a relay or dimmer switch) and Program Switches for programmed control of a relay or dimmer switch.
