Setting up "If-Then-Else" scenarios, such as "If motion is detected AND brightness is low, THEN turn on the lights."

Enter a project name to save all configuration data.

Click the "Search" button. The software will broadcast a signal to find all connected HDL modules. Core Programming Workflow

Download the latest build from the HDL official partner portal. Run the setup as an administrator to ensure all drivers for the USB interface are correctly installed. Initial Connection and Network Settings

is the primary software application designed by ⁠HDL Automation to manage Buspro-compatible devices. It serves as the interface between the installer's computer and the HDL bus cable, allowing for:

In the Setup Tool 2, you can create scenes within your relay or dimming modules. For example, a "Movie Night" scene sets Channel 1 to 20%, Channel 2 to 0%, and triggers a motorized curtain module to close.

Once your device tree shows all installed hardware with unique addresses, you can begin functional programming. Double-clicking any device in the tree opens its specific parameter window. Relay and Dimmer Channels

Users can save device configurations as templates, which can be modified, imported, or exported for use across multiple projects or similar installations. This significantly reduces configuration time for repetitive setups.

HBST2 is one of two primary tools for Buspro Gateway configuration, alongside the more advanced Buspro Studio. While Buspro Studio offers additional features such as cloud-based project management and offline editing, HBST2 provides essential configuration capabilities for most installations.

Sequences string multiple scenes together with timed intervals. This is ideal for security simulations (making a house look occupied while away) or dynamic outdoor landscape lighting effects.

: Allows users to update the firmware of individual modules to add new features or fix bugs. Essential Setup Workflow

The HDL Buspro Setup Tool 2 is the dedicated configuration software used to program HDL Buspro home automation systems. Unlike its predecessors, version 2 offers a more streamlined interface and better stability for modern Windows environments. It allows users to search for devices on the network, modify their parameters, and create logic links between inputs (like switches) and outputs (like lights). System Requirements and Installation
