Configuration
Before configuring ONYX.SWITCH, download HELLA's free "ONYX" app from the App store / Google Play to your smart phone. Bluetooth must be activated at your smart phone to configure the wall-mounted radio transmitter ONYX.SWITCH. Bluetooth is not necessary for the later operation of the wall-mounted radio transmitter.
Configuration of ONYX.SWITCH without ONYX.CENTER
Open the "ONYX" app. Now press the group button (3) and the heart button (4) together on the wall-mounted radio transmitter for 3 seconds. The wall-mounted radio transmitter appears in the app and can be selected. Then follow the instructions on the screen. "Settings for motor and pushbuttons" can usually be adopted. When using a weather sensor, you should activate the respective sensor for each taught-in control unit.
As soon as the first control device/the first weather sensor has been taught in, you can add additional control devices with "+". Only after the connection of all control devices/ sensors, go to "←" on the top left. Now tap on one of the 5 groups and assign the devices as you like. The configuration is completed with "Done". You can close the app now.
If, after the configuration of the ONYX.SWITCH, your shading elements move into the wrong direction, connect the wall-mounted radio transmitter with the app "ONYX" as described above. Under "Configure devices" you now can tap on the pencil symbol of the respective device (top right). Under the menu item "Advanced settings" tap now on "Reverse direction of rotation". By tapping on "Done" these settings are adopted.
To actuate your shading unit brightness dependent, tap under "Configure devices" on the pencil symbol of the respective device (top right). Under the menu item "Advanced settings" you find the item "Brightness range". Here two ranges can be adjusted via the two scroll bars. Both ranges can be assigned the action "Extend" or "Retract". These settings can only be made, if a weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER is available.
You can find additional information regarding the adjusting possibilities at the control device in the respective "Instructions for use".
Configuration of ONYX.SWITCH with ONYX.CENTER
First of all, ONYX.CENTER must be configured completely according to the "Instructions for use" enclosed. As described in the respective instructions for use, all control devices and sensors must also be connected to ONYX.CENTER. Now connect with ONYX.CENTER. The "Configuration mode" in the app must be activated. You find it under "Settings". ONYX.SWITCH can be taught in under "Devices" and "+". Then follow the instructions on the screen. The configuration is completed with "Done".
Wall-mounted radio transmitters ONYX.SWITCH are only visible in the app "ONYX", when the "Configuration mode" is active. If you want to adjust the configuration at the wall-mounted radio transmitter, activate the "Configuration mode". You find it under "Settings". Then tap on the respective ONYX.SWITCH. The groups can be adjusted under "Advanced settings".
Operation
With the two pushbuttons UP (1) and DOWN (2) you can extend or retract your shading element with a click on the relevant latching pushbutton. Outdoor blinds are tilted with a brief click. If the respective latching pushbutton is pressed for 2 seconds, the outdoor blind raises or lowers. With a brief click on the respective pushbutton the lighting is switched off or on. By pressing the respective pushbutton for 2 seconds, the lighting is dimmable, if it is combined with the matching ONYX control device.
Successfully transmitted control commands are displayed by a backlight in the status/channel bar in the corresponding channel colour.
With the group pushbutton (3) you can change over to other channels, which you configured earlier in the app "ONYX" (see chapter Configuration). The fixed assigned channel colour is displayed in the status / channel bar (5).
With the pushbutton with heart symbol (4), one favourite position per channel can be saved, which is then ready for later use. Press this pushbutton for 3 seconds to save the selected position. With a brief click on this pushbutton, the position saved before can be accessed again. Successfully transmitted control commands are displayed by a backlight in the status/channel bar in the corresponding channel colour.
Replacing the battery
To replace the CR2032 button cell, remove the battery from the battery slot (6) on the back of ONYX.SWITCH.
Use a pointed object (e.g. pencil) to remove the button cell from the battery slot. When replacing the battery, please observe the correct alignment of the battery in the battery slot (6) (when inserting the button cell, the + pole must be aligned towards the top).
Battery Replacement Diagram Description: The diagram shows the back of the ONYX.SWITCH device with the battery compartment (6) open. A CR2032 battery is depicted being removed or inserted. An arrow indicates that the '+' pole of the battery must be aligned upwards when inserting it.
Ideal use of the radio signal
