4 HomeRunner RBI User Manual –Rev 3.4/May 10, 2016

Welcome to HomeRunner RBI!

HomeRunner RBI is a stand-alone home automation controller consisting of both hardware and software.

Once programmed, your HomeRunner RBI runs on its own processor (no computer is required) and serves

(broadcasts) your control screens to the internet as a Remote Browser Interface for control from your phone,

tablet, computer or any web-enabled device (no “app” is required –just log on).

The controller connects to one of your network router ports and to the included plug-in power line modem

with the provided cables. The HomeRunner RBI software is a Windows-based application for programming

and advanced control of your HomeRunner RBI system and will run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating

systems (XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8). It provides a platform for configuring the controller, creating and

publishing control screens (for your iPhone, iPad, etc.), defining connected devices, programming if-then

conditional and time-based events and much more. The HomeRunner RBI software also offers advanced

graphical and control functions when used as a Graphical User Interface.

HomeRunner RBI supports both Insteon and X-10 technologies and has an RS-232 serial port for connecting a

compatible serial device. A variety of Insteon and X-10 devices are available to enable control of lighting,

heating/cooling, audio/video, irrigation, and other household functions without the need for additional wiring.

For a list of supported devices, see “Supported Devices.” Free software and firmware updates are posted

online periodically at http://updates.homerunner.me/updates/ with added features and improvements. It is

recommended that you download and install the most recent versions to insure optimum performance.

HomeRunner RBI also includes a “Stargate Link” for interfacing with legacy Stargate-IP or CommStar-IP

controllers and all connected peripherals (thermostats, security, IR-Xpander, etc.) via the Web Xpander.

HomeRunner RBI can be controlled from any computer, (pc or Mac, desktop, laptop, tablet, netbook, etc.),

smartphone (iPhone, Droid, etc.), web-enabled or wi-fi device (iPad, iTouch) as well as from any Insteon or

X-10 controller, wired and wireless.

With HomeRunner RBI, you can transform any picture into a Graphical User Interface in minutes! You can

create any number of control screens using image files (jpg, gif, bmp, etc.) for the “backgrounds” and

“buttons.” Individual objects within each picture (lights, appliances, etc.) can be defined as “virtual buttons”

to control the selected object when pressed. (You can also simply select a background color for each screen

and select from the library of preset button images.)

You can use any photos, download pictures from the internet, scan pictures from magazines or draw your own.

Buttons will reduce in size slightly when clicked or touched using the HomeRunner RBI application, giving the

appearance of a button being pressed. You can change the background and button images at any time. Once

you have created your control screens, you save them all as a “layout” in the HomeRunner RBI “Layouts”

folder (C:\HomeRunnerRBI\Layouts) and publish (upload) the layout to the HomeRunner RBI controller.

(Launching the HomeRunner RBI application will recall the last layout that was running.)

5 HomeRunner RBI User Manual –Rev 3.4/May 10, 2016

Initial Set Up and Configuration

The following steps will guide you through the installation and initial configuration:

1. Connect the HomeRunner RBI’s “Network” jack to one of your router ports with the supplied

network cable.

2. Connect the HomeRunner RBI’s “PLM” jack to the Insteon Power Line Modem with the other

network cable and plug the PLM into a nearby electrical outlet. For optimum X-10 performance,

locate the PLM close to your main electrical panel (use a longer network cable if necessary). (Do

NOT plug the PLM directly into an XTB Booster. Use a nearby outlet instead.)

3. Wait approximately 10 seconds for the HomeRunner RBI’s green and yellow “SEND” and “RECV”

LEDs to turn on. (The red “RUN” LED remains off unless a schedule is running.)

4. For applications that don’t require the PLM (no Insteon or X-10 are used), plug a 12 VDC @ 300mA

power adapter into the “Power In” jack (either polarity will work but it must be DC).

5. Download and install the latest version HomeRunner RBI application setup files from our website at

http://updates.homerunner.me/updates/ to the default folder (C:\HomeRunnerRBI) or select a different

location if you prefer.

6. Double-click the HomeRunner RBI icon on your desktop or select it from the Start Menu to launch the

HomeRunner RBI application.

7. Press “Ctrl+T” on your keyboard (or double-click the bottom edge of the HomeRunner RBI screen) to

display the HomeRunner RBI toolbar.

8. Click the Network button on the toolbar or press “Ctrl+K” on your keyboard to access the Network

Settings window.

9. Select Network 1 then click “Search for Controllers” to identify the IP address of your HomeRunner

RBI. Enter a Name/I.D. (i.e. Home) for reference. You can also manually enter your HomeRunner

RBI controller’s IP Address, Web port (default = 80), and User Name / Password (default = Home /

Runner) if you already know them.

10. Click "Test Connection" to confirm that you have entered the correct information and to verify a

successful connection.

11. If you cannot obtain your HomeRunner RBI controller’s IP Address using the Search method above,

log onto your router and view the DHCP Client List to determine the IP Address. Enter the IP address

in the Network Settings #1 position. Click "Test Connection" to confirm then click “Save.”

12. Click the toolbar “Controller” button to log onto the Served Controller Page then click the

“Firmware” tab. The green banner on top displays the current installed firmware version with the

date and time it was created. If the version listed is older than the posted update, install the latest

version from http://updates.homerunner.me/updates/.

13. Click the “Network” tab and uncheck “Auto Network Config (DHCP)” then click “Save Changes”

at the bottom to retain the current HomeRunner RBI controller’s IP Address and prevent it from being

reassigned by the router.

6 HomeRunner RBI User Manual –Rev 3.4/May 10, 2016

Network Settings

The first thing you will need to set is the IP address of your HomeRunner RBI controller. The default IP

address setting is 192.168.0.5 with DHCP ON (enabled). Your router will automatically re-assign an available

IP address to your HomeRunner RBI controller and replace the default setting with a valid one within the range

of your network.

14. Click the Network button on the toolbar or press “Ctrl+K” on your keyboard to access the Network

Settings window.

15. Select Network 1 then click “Search for Controllers” to identify the IP address of your HomeRunner

RBI. Enter a Name/I.D. (i.e. Home) for reference. (You can also manually enter your HomeRunner

RBI controller’s IP Address, Web port (default = 80), and User Name / Password (default = Home /

Runner) if you already know them.)

16. Click "Test Connection" to confirm that you have entered the correct information and to verify a

successful connection.

17. If you cannot obtain your HomeRunner RBI controller’s IP Address using the Search method above,

log onto your router and view the DHCP Client List to determine the IP Address.

18. Click the toolbar “Controller” button to log onto the Served Controller Page then click the

“Firmware” tab. The green banner on top displays the current installed firmware version with the

date and time it was created. If the version listed is older than the posted update, install the latest new

version. See “Updating Software and Firmware” for instructions.

HomeRunner RBI can store up to 5 different network settings (plus one “Demo” setting) which can be selected

either through the Network Settings screen or from actions assigned to user created buttons. Each setting can

be given an optional name (i.e. Home, Office, etc.) and must contain the IP address of the HomeRunner RBI,

including the web port (typically port 80) and the User Name and Password. If you are accessing your

HomeRunner RBI from behind a proxy server, check the "Use Proxy Server" box and enter the appropriate

proxy server information. The “Demo” setting can be used to demonstrate the HomeRunner RBI software

application without actually controlling devices or connecting to the HomeRunner RBI controller.

HomeRunner RBI uses standard HTTP requests (the same way a web browser is used to access the

HomeRunner RBI) to perform most functions and any settings required for your web browser to connect to the

HomeRunner RBI would need to be specified here as well.

Toolbar

Shortcuts (^ = Ctrl key)

Pressing the Ctrl key on your keyboard will display the shortcut keys for each button. You can either

click with the mouse or hold the Ctrl key down and type the corresponding letter to select a button.

You can adjust the format of the toolbar by simply stretching it horizontally or vertically (drag from

corner or side) and place it anywhere on your desktop. Placing any part of the toolbar within 5 pixels

of the HomeRunner RBI screen will link the two so the toolbar moves together with the HomeRunner

RBI screen. Double-clicking on the toolbar background returns it to the default setting.

10 HomeRunner RBI User Manual –Rev 3.4/May 10, 2016

Remote Access over the Internet

Accessing HomeRunner RBI from the internet (i.e. outside your home network) requires router

specific settings and configuration.

First you need to port forward incoming connections on port 80 (or your preferred port number) to

the HomeRunner RBI’s local IP address.

Next you need to know the IP address of your cable modem or DSL modem to connect to your

location from the internet. One easy way to determine your modem’s IP address is to start a web

browser on an internet enabled PC within your home network and visit: www.WhatIsMyIP.com. If

your IP address is static (i.e. it never changes) you’ll just use that address to access resources on your

home network. If your IP address is dynamic (i.e. it changes periodically) there are a few options

available for tracking it. One free service available is www.no-ip.com/. No-IP will allow you to

create a domain name (i.e. http://TheSmiths.no-ip.com) which will automatically redirect to your

home IP address. If you have a static IP address, you just register that address with No-IP and choose

a domain name. If your home IP address changes, No-IP offers a free software utility that runs on an

internet connected PC in your home and periodically updates No-IP with your dynamic IP address.

Once this is established, you can use your created domain name to access your home from any

internet connected PC.

Served Controller Pages

You can access the HomeRunner RBI’s built-in Served Controller Pages remotely from any web

browser by simply logging onto your router’s IP address followed by a colon and the port number

you’ve assigned to the HomeRunner RBI controller (i.e. http://100.10.20.30:82). If no port number is

specified (i.e. http://100.10.20.30) it will default to port 80. Enter your User Name and Password

when prompted. For local access to the Served Controller Pages (from within the Local Area

Network) log onto your HomeRunner RBI’s local IP address instead (i.e. 192.168.1.10:82). You can

also click the “Controller” button on the Toolbar to access the Served Controller Pages.

Adding “/A” after the IP address will access the Published GUI (i.e. http://100.10.20.30:82/A).

The served Home screen will appear with a green banner on top displaying the current firmware

version and the date and time it was created. The schedule name, number of events and status is

listed below the banner with “Backup” and “Restore” buttons to save or restore all the Network,

Date/Time and Serial Port settings. The green bar on bottom displays the HomeRunner RBI

Controller’s date and time.
