This instruction assumes that devices are already connected to the controller according to the instruction
Recommendations for controlling different types of loads

1

Go to the controller settings

To configure the output ports, you must first go to the controller settings:
● Go to Menu - Device Manager● Select the desired controller from the list and click Setup

Important! The list of peripherals that can be connected to this output port will depend on the type of port.

4

Advanced settings

● Select the "gear" icon (advanced settings)-invert - change the polarity of the signal- activate the energy consumption meter at the port - switch on the load control sensor- toggle value - the default value that is set when switching the device, used if the previous value of the output state is unknown- startup value - the default value that will be set after a reboot or port configuration- frequency - signal modulation frequency- number of color gradations - number of brightness levels (0-255)- fade - time of smooth fade / illumination of a tape at switching off / switching on
● Save the settings by clicking on the icon and return to the settings window of the selected output port.

Important! The DC dimmer can be used in relay mode to turn on load devices. In this case, for the correct operation of the load, it is necessary to set the value of the fade parameter equal to 0.

Note: Advanced settings always contain default data. Changing the values in the advanced settings is an optional step if necessary.

Choosing a room

● In the "Where the device is located" field, you can specify the location of the connected device.● If you need to add a new room, click on the "+" icon located in the upper right corner of the screen, assign a name to the new room, set its type and click on the Save icon.

Note: If you leave this field blank, the location of the peripheral device will be displayed as "not specified", and the Dashboard window will indicate that it is located in the room "----------".

6

Name of the device

● We return to the settings window of the selected output port● In the name field, for convenience, you should specify the name of the device by which you can uniquely identify it● Click the Save icon

Illustration

Note: If you do not specify a device name, the system will assign a default name.

The result of the described steps:

Create a device connected to a specific output, with a user-specified name and basic settings. You can see this device by going to the Dashboard tab. It will also be available in the section What to manage when creating or editing automations.
