Installation Manual for the Application iHC-SMTV
1. Introduction
The iHC-SMTV applications are designed for Samsung TVs with the Tizen operating system, enabling convenient control of smart electro-installations within the iNELS RF Control or BUS system directly from the TV screen. Any SMART TV with an integrated web browser is compatible. The user-friendly interface provides central control from a single location, operated with a standard TV remote control. The application allows for switching electrical appliances, dimming lights, regulating temperature, controlling blinds, managing scenes, displaying cameras, checking weather, and monitoring energy consumption. The menu is organized into clear sections for easy navigation.
To run iHC-SMTV, one of the following system components must be installed:
Wireless Wiring RF Control
- eLAN-RF-003 (eLAN-RF): https://www.elkoep.com/smart-rf-box-elan-rf-003
The RF Control system offers gradual expansion and integration of individual components into the electrical installation. It supports control of lighting, heating, appliances, and shading, with options ranging from key fobs and wall controls to smartphone applications.
BUS Electrical Installation INELS BUS
- Connection Server (CS): https://www.elkoep.com/connection-server-inels
The iNELS BUS system is highly expandable and adaptable to user requirements, allowing integration of multimedia extensions or third-party devices like home appliances, cameras, and HVAC systems. Control and supervision can be managed via smartphone, tablet, or PC, with parameter settings configured through a computer interface.
To monitor energy consumption (electricity, water, gas), use the RFPM-2M gateway (RFPM): https://www.elkoep.com/energy-gateway---rfpm-2m. The Energy Gateway is compatible with both RF Control and iNELS BUS wiring.
2. Configuration of Individual Devices Connectable to iHC - SMTV
Configure eLAN-RF using the iHC-MAIRF mobile application, including assigning and setting RF components. Configure CS via the web interface. Refer to the respective device manuals for detailed settings. The RFPM Energy Gateway is pre-set upon connection to your electrical installation. For all devices, their IP address is required to add them to your network. This information will be provided by the company that installed the electrical system, or you can contact technical support at https://www.elkoep.com/tech-support.
3. Install the Application on Your TV
