8 Troubleshooting
8.1 Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not confirm
a command, the device LED lights
up red at the end of the failed transmission
process. The reason for the failed
transmission may be radio interference.
This may be caused by the following: see
(General information about wireless operation),
page 11
- Receiver cannot be reached.
- Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockage, etc.) or
- Receiver is faulty.
8.2 Duty cycle
The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit
of the transmission time of devices in the
868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation
is to safeguard the operation of all
devices working in the 868 MHz range.
In the 868 MHz frequency range we use,
the maximum transmission time of any
device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in
an hour). Devices must cease transmission
when they reach the 1% limit until
this time restriction ends. Homematic;IP
devices are designed and produced with
100% conformity to this regulation.
During normal operation, the duty cycle
is not usually reached. However, repeated
and radio-intensive pairing processes
mean that it may be reached in isolated
instances during start-up or initial installation
of a system. If the duty cycle is
exceeded, this is indicated by three slow
red flashes of the device LED, and may
manifest itself in the device temporarily
working incorrectly. The device will start
working correctly again after a short period
(max. 1 hour).
Troubleshooting

restoring the factory settings.
The device will perform a restart.
If the device LED lights up red
to, please try again (Flash codes), page 10.
10 Maintenance and cleaning
The device is maintenance-free for you.
Leave any maintenance or repair to a specialist.
Clean the device using a soft, clean, dry
and lint-free cloth. The cloth can be
slightly dampened with lukewarm water
to remove more stubborn marks. Do not
use any detergents containing solvents
for cleaning purposes. They could corrode
the plastic housing and label.
11 General information about
wireless operation
Radio transmission is performed on a
non-exclusive transmission path, which
means that there is a possibility of interference
occurring. Interference can also
be caused by switching operations, electrical
motors or defective electrical devices.
The range inside buildings can differ
greatly from that in open air. Besides
the transmitting power and
the reception characteristics of the
receiver, environmental factors such
as humidity in the vicinity play an
important role, as do on-site structural/
screening conditions.
