The Comelit CB-TLB is the Telephone Interface Module with Input/Output (I/O) for the Ingenium system. Here are the details of what this device does:
Comelit CB-TLB: Ingenium Telephone Interface Feature Details Main Function Acts as a telephone dialing interface within the Ingenium home automation system. Use Allows the user to interact with and control their home automation system (Comelit Ingenium) remotely via a telephone call. Connection Type Connects to an analog telephone line (PSTN). Programming Programmed via the Ingenium system management software
What does it allow you to do?
This module offers crucial functionality for home automation systems from a few years ago (before the widespread adoption of mobile app and Wi-Fi control) and remains useful as a backup:
Remote Telephone Control: The user can call the telephone number connected to the CB-TLB. After authentication (usually a PIN code), you can activate or deactivate home functions using DTMF tones on your phone (dial key presses).
Example: Press *1 to turn on the living room lights, or *5 to arm the alarm system.
Alarm Reporting: The module can be programmed to call predefined numbers (such as the homeowner's mobile phone, a family member's phone, or a security monitoring center) when it detects an alarm or a critical event in the Ingenium system.
Status Monitoring: When called, the system can report the current status of the home verbally or via tones (e.g., "Alarm system disarmed," "Heating on").
Ingenium Context
The Comelit Ingenium line is a wired (bus) home automation management system that integrates:
Security: Alarm systems (intrusion, gas, fire).
Energy Management: Control of lights, motorized blinds, heating, and air conditioning.
Communication: Video intercom and, thanks to the CB-TLB, telephone control.
In short, the Comelit CB-TLB is the "telephone gateway" that allows the Ingenium system to alert the outside world in case of emergency and receive control commands from any phone, making the house accessible even when the user is away.
