2	Getting to Know the RIOT SYSTEM APP

RIoT System Operation

• This App provides a ready-to-go handset as below;
• Pressing the buttons operates the Receiver output relays.

Create Custom Buttons / Monitor / Control
Customize your App to create custom remote control

• Add custom Button Names
• Set as On/Off, All On/Off, Timed or Mood Outputs
• Change Screen Layout from Preset Buttons
• Monitor all outputs Status

Control Type Description

• On/Off: The receiver output circuit will switch on/off
• All On/Off: All Receiver output circuits will switch on/off
• Timed: The receiver output circuit will switch on for a preset time, then switch off.
• Mood: Turns on/off a selected combination of output circuits.

3	Event Timers

• RIoT System can be programmed to automatically switch its output circuits based on an event. Up to 16 Timers can be set based on the following:

Time Events	Dusk Events	Dawn Events
Time ON to Time OFF	Dusk to Dawn	Dawn to Dusk
ON for a set Time	Dusk to Time OFF	Dawn to Time OFF
	Dusk Timer	Dawn Timer

Note: Your smart device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi as RIoT–RX.

1. Goto Menu, then Timers.
2. Click on a Timer.
3. Follow the procedure on the screen to setup the Event Timer type, circuit, days, output channel etc…
4. When completed Click “OK“.
5. Repeat for your chosen Events.
6. “Finish” to Save to the RIoT Receiver.

Dusk / Dawn Offset (Advanced Option)

• This optional feature adds a time offset to an Event timer so that it operates before, or after, the actual time of Dawn or Dusk
• You can enter a positive or negative offset number. (In minutes)
• The effect is shown below

Examples,

• Adding an offset of +10 causes:
• “Dusk” events to trigger 10 mins before the actual time of Dusk
• “Dawn” events to trigger 10 mins after the actual time of Dawn

Adding an offset of -10 causes:

• “Dusk” events to trigger 10 mins after the actual time of Dusk
• “Dawn” events to trigger 10 mins before the actual time of Dawn.

Control Many RIoT Systems from one App

• RIoT System App can control Multiple RIOT-RX Receivers.
• Each RIOT-RX is set as a “System”.
• For Example, the user may have;
• A RIoT–RX in multiple locations, with each RIoT-RX named as a separate “Profile”:
  • System Chelsea
  • System Knightsbridge
  • System Wembley
• Systems can be can managed under the App Menu, then “Systems”.

App Setup Menu Descriptions

• There are various user setting from the Menu/App Setup which are described below:

Keep App Awake

• This keeps the app displayed on your screen at all times. Any changes to the output circuits (from other transmitters) are shown in real-time.

Disable Lock Screen

• The App screen auto locks after 1 min, requiring the user to “swipe to unlock”
• This prevents the App from auto-locking the screen locking

Double Click Buttons

• Requires the user to double-click when pressing a button, to help prevent accidental touch operation

Local Mode

• This restricts the operation of the RIoT Receiver to smart devices that are connected to the same local Wi-Fi as the RIoT Receiver.

Configuring Encryption

• Data sent between a smart device and the RIoT-RX uses an Encryption key.
• Default key is: 0123456789ABCDEF
• This can be customised in the RIOT-RX and the RIoT System APP to any 16 digit string.
• The encryption keys must match for the system to work!

To Set the Encryption Key within the RIoT Receiver
Firstly ensure your smart device is on the same Wi-Fi as the RIoT Receiver.

1. Goto Menu \ Systems
2. Click on the Settings icon
3. On the RIoT System, press and hold the LEARN button until the red LEARN LED stays ON. (takes ~5 sec-onds),
