 ====== GenericProntoCommander ======
-This module is a part of the [[NetHomeServer]]. The GenericProntoCommander is not yet documented.
+This module is a part of the [[start|NetHomeServer]]. The GenericProntoCommander is dynamic control Item. You can add the available actions by specifying them in a Configuration File. Each action is defined as a Pronto Command that will be sent when the corresponding action is invoked. The GenericProntoCommander used is when you have a device (for example a radio controlled switch) which is not yet supported by NetHomeServer, but you have the Pronto-codes for the radio signals. Both the [[audioprotocoltransmitter|AudioProtocolTransmitter]] and the [[cultransceiver|CULTransceiver]] supports sending Pronto codes, so this way you may control new devices.
+The Configuration File is a text file with the following format:
+   <Action Name1>,<Pronto Code1>
+   <Action Name2>,<Pronto Code3>
+   ...
+For example:
+  On,0000 0067 0000 0012 0157 00a5 0018 003d 0019 003b 0017 003d 0019 003b 0018 003d 0019 0011...
+  Play,0000 0067 0000 0012 0157 00a5 001a 003b 0018 003d 001a 003b 0017 003d 001a 003b 0018 0013...
+  Stop,0000 0067 0000 0010 0018 003e 000d 0048 0009 004b 000d 0048 0008 004d 000a 0021 0005 0079...
+  Next,0000 0067 0000 0012 0155 00a8 0018 003d 0017 003e 0017 003d 0017 003e 0017 003e 0017 0013...
+Pronto-codes may be found on the net, but may also be found using the [[analyzer:start|Protocol Analyzer]] if you have a compatible radio/IR receiver.
+With the the [[cultransceiver|CULTransceiver]] you can also send the messages as IR if you have a [[powermid|PowerMid]]
