Commands

commands for use in timers and routines. Each card inside this menu is representing a command. The menu is divided into three different containers for [RF], [IR], and [WiFi], which can be accessed using the tabs at the top of each view.
In the [IR] commands section, you can train and store commands from e.g. the infrared remote control of your TV or set-top box, so the Gateway device can send  ommands in lieu of these remote controls. In addition, you may use IR commands from one of your RCUs to trigger actions on the Gateway V1.
In the WiFi commands section, you have access to all compatible WiFi power sockets that are present in your home network. Only a single scan operation is needed, there is no need to train individual commands in this section.
8.4 Routines menu
This page allows to connect some RF / IR / WiFi switching actions to a timer event, or to some incoming RF/IR/WiFi signal event that the Gateway V1 has been trained before. To do this, it will use the information of the RF / IR / WiFi cards that have been saved before in the Commands menu.
8.4.1 Timer Routines
You may assign up to five switching actions to a timer event. Your timer event will describe a unique or a regularly recurring moment and a duration. You may temporarily disable a timer routine, in order to pause its use without deleting it.

(a) Take the power socket and press down the LED/button unit at the side of the socket while plugging it to mains power. Keep the button pressed for three seconds.

(b) If you release the button now, the LED will blink.
(c) Take the RF wall switch and press down the “on” (“1”) side. If the power socket recognized this signal successfully, the LED will stop blinking, learning is complete.
To delete all learned commands from the power socket, use the following procedure:
(a) Take the power socket and press down the LED/button unit at the side of the socket while plugging it to mains power. Keep the button pressed for three seconds.
(b) If you release the button now, the LED will blink.
(c) Send an “off” (“0”) command, the LED will start to blink faster.
(d) Wait 20 seconds until the LED of the power socket completely stops blinking.

Learning and saving commands

10.1 RF commands
Before you can receive or transmit an RF command, you need to assign one of the pull-down cards to this command name [Type].
The Gateway V1 must be trained for this command in the following way:

  • Open one of the cards by clicking on the down-arrow.
  • Select the device type in the drop-down menu.
    ◦ Select a [Switch] option if you want to be able to receive and process a specific RF command from a switch.
    ◦ Select a [Socket static] option if you want to be able to send a specific RF command (that needs to be learned from an RF switch) to a power socket.
    ◦ Select a [Socket learnable] option for pairing a power socket to the Gateway, using a generic RF code that has not been learned from an RF switch.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-Socket
static

If you selected a [Switch] or a [Socket static] option, proceed as follows:

  • Press [LEARN], the Gateway will respond with a beep.

  • Now press [OFF] (0) on the RF power switch; if the signal is recognized by the Gateway, it will respond with another beep; the [SAVE] and [SEND] buttons will be activated.

  • If learning is not successful, an error message in red will be shown; try again.

  • For some types of RF devices, the Gateway will automatically generate a complementary pair of [OFF] and [ON] commands, otherwise the learning procedure must be repeated for the [ON] (I) command.

  • Click on the [SEND] button for testing the function of the newly learned command; if the new command does not work, press [CLEAR] and try to learn again.

  • Click on the text input line and type in a useful name for this command, then press [SAVE].
    ◦ Hint: The [SAVE] button refers only to the individually entered card name. No need to use [SAVE] if you prefer to use the automatically generated default names.

  • If you need to delete one of the learned commands, use the corresponding [CLEAR] button.
    If you selected a [Socket learnable] option, use the following steps:

  • Press the [GENERATE] button, the Gateway will respond with a beep.

  • Take the power socket and press down the combined LED/button unit at the side of the socket while plugging it to mains power. Keep the button pressed for three seconds.

  • If you release the button now, the LED will blink.

  • Press the [SEND] button of the freshly generated “On” command. If the power socket recognized this signal successfully, the LED will stop blinking, learning is complete.
    In case you need to unlearn a command on a power socket, please refer to chapter 4.2.

10.2 IR commands
The Infrared commands will be trained in a similar way, except there is no need to choose between a switch or a socket before learning.

  • Open one of the cards by clicking on the down-arrow.
  • Press the [Learn] button on the card.
  • Now take your RCU and point with it to the top of the Gateway housing, then press the RCU button that you want to be learned; If the command is recognized by the Gateway device, the [SAVE] and [SEND] buttons will be activated.
  • If learning is not successful, an error message in red will be shown; try again.
  • Click on the [SEND] button for testing the function of the newly learned command.
  • Click on the text input line and type in a useful name for this command, then press [SAVE].
  • If you need to delete one of the learned commands, use the corresponding [CLEAR] button.

10.3 WiFi commands
If you open this tab for the first time, no cards are shown that correspond with available WiFi power sockets.
This is how to find available WiFi power sockets:

  • Press the [SCAN] button; the scanning process will take some minutes.
  • For each detected power socket on [WIFI], a new card will be automatically generated on the screen. For easier identification, this default name contains the last byte of the socket ‘s IP address.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-SCAN

You may use the switch symbol on the card to switch this socket on or off.
In case the power socket is compatible to power measurement commands, the power consumption on this socket will automatically be shown below the switch symbol; Sockets of this type can be monitored in detail using the [ENERGY] page. Use the down-arrow symbol to open the card for renaming or deleting. Click on the text input line and type in a useful name for each power socket, then press [SAVE].
If you need to delete a single card, use the corresponding [DELETE] button; For deleting all WiFi cards, use the [CLEAR ALL] button on the top card.

Routines

11.1 Programming a timer

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-
Routines

  • Open one of the timer cards by clicking on the down-arrow.

  • Select day/date, time and duration of the event.
    Note: Configure either a single date or a weekly/daily event!

  • Assign actions to beginning and end of the specified time range.

  • You can also configure the timer to be triggered by sunrise or sunset, if the temperature or humidity is outside of the range.

  • When opening the corresponding pulldown menus, all available actions are listed.

  •  You may add up to 5 actions to each event start/end by using the [+] buttons, remove them by using the [x] buttons.

  • Enter a useful name for this timer.

  • Click the switch at the upper right of the card to enable/disable this timer.

  • Click the [SAVE] button.

11.2 Programming externally triggered routine
Depending on the type of signal that you want to use as trigger, you need to select one of the tabs [RF], [IR], or [WIFI] first. All known input signals (that have been successfully trained to the Gateway V1) will be shown assigned to a card.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-
Routines1

  • Open one of the cards by clicking on the down-arrow.
  • Use the pulldown menu to connect the signal source to an action.
  • You may add up to 5 actions to this card by using the ”+” buttons, remove them using the ”x” buttons.
  • If you want this routine to appear in the Scenes menu, select a location from the “locations” pulldown selector.
  • Click the switch at the upper right of the card to enable/disable this routine.
  • Click the [SAVE] button.

11.3 Configuring externally triggered routines to scenes
RF or IR routines will become visible in the [SCENES] view as soon as a location is selected, and the routine is switched to active state.
Using the respective “location” entry of each routine correctly, the [SCENES] structure represents the distribution of Smart Home switches and actuators inside your home, and becomes clear for easier use like this:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-triggered
routines

Since the name of an entry inside a Scene represents the initial command’s name, it is sometimes recommendable to rename the command again to get an entry name with a more obvious purpose.

Application examples

12.1 Timer example
Use case: Automatically switch on the lights in your living room and at the front door in the evening; automatically switch them off when it’s bedtime. We can use two RF power sockets that we learn in the [CommandsRF] section. If we assign appropriate names to these sockets,  it might lookas follows:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-RF

Now we can program a timer to handle these sockets: In this example, the timer will work daily, switching the light on at [18:30] and switching it off at [22:30].

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-RF1

Did we forget anything? Oh, the enabling switch at the top of the card is still in “Off” position! To get the timer into armed state, we need to click on like this: , , and then press [SAVE].
Note: make sure you always enable the switch to be active!

12.2 RF routine example
Use case: In the late evening. When the RF wall switch for the living room light is switched off manually, this means that I am now leaving the living room. Automatically switch on the light in the corridor (so I will not stumble) and switch off the TV. Furthermore, switch off the electrical heating in the living room (since I am interested in its total power consumption, the heating is connected to a WiFi power socket that can be monitored via the “Energy” page).

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-RF2

We need to learn the RF commands for the socket at the corridor light:
We give a suitable name to our WiFi Socket in the [Commands-WiFi] Section:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-WiFi

In the [Commands-IR] section, we learned the command of the TV remote control’s “Power” button.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-
Power

Now we can open the [Routines-RF] section and program an RF routine for our use case. We select the RF routine card that corresponds with the [OFF] state of the living room’s light switch and enter our configuration there:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-
Power1

12.3 One more RF routine
use case: I am in the need of a second remote control for my set-top box, but I only need to switch channels up or down with this second RCU.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-RF
routine

I can use an RF switch for this and “translate” this command to IR with the Gateway device. Let’s learn the commands from our RF switch in the first step:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-RF
routine1

Now learning the commands that we need from the infrared RCU:
Finally, we use two RF routines to connect the incoming RF switch signals to the IR commands that we need to send.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-RF
routine4

12.4 WiFi routine example
Use case: “Mirroring” the state of a WiFi power socket with some RF power sockets. Imagine a WiFi socket that is controlled either via another routine, or via pressing the hardware switch on the device, or even by using an “Alexa” skill. We have two RF sockets that we want to always follow the WiFi socket’s state. Say we have three lights in our living room, one equipped with the WiFi socket, the other ones with RF sockets.
In the [Commands-WiFi] Section we have identified the power socket that is connected to our first living room light:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-Commands
rf

In the [Commands-RF] Section, we learned the commands to control our two RF sockets.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller- RF
sockets

Now we need to configure two WiFi routines in the [Routines-WiFi] section, one each for the [OFF] state and the [ON] state of the WiFi socket.
Do not forget to check the state of the enable switches on each card before pressing [SAVE].

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller- RF
sockets1

12.5 IR routine example
By involving the Gateway V1 device, we can use any kind of IR remote control to perform a switching routine for RF or WiFi sockets.
Use case: I found that I have some unused buttons on the remote control of my TV. Say, now I want to use the red RCU button to switch the living room light next to our TV on, and the green RCU button to switch it off. This living room light is connected to a WiFi power socket.
In the [Commands-WiFi] Section we already have the needed commands available from example 7.4:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller- RF
sockets2

In the [Commands-IR] Section, we learn and save the commands that we need from the IR remote control:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller- RF
sockets3

We need to assign two IR routines in the [Routines-IR] section, one each for the [OFF] state and the [ON] state of the WiFi socket.

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller- RF
sockets4

Well, what about the card in the [Scenes] menu that we automatically created by generating this routine? We can already use it instead of the IR remote control:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller- RF
sockets5

If we prefer to use our smartphone instead of the RCU, we may go back to the [Commands – IR] menu and rename these IR commands to some names that are easier to understand, so the result on our smartphone browser will look like this:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-home

Now we have the option to switch the lights in our living room with the IR remote control (in the living room) or with our smartphone (from any location within the signal range of our WiFi home router).

Using the settings menu

13.1 Change the password / PIN
Changing the password requires to type the old password once, and then type the new password twice in two consecutive lines. The change will take effect when you press the [SAVE] button. Please note that a password does not allow language-specific Latin characters like e.g., “ä ö ü ß é ñ ó”, or Chinese characters.
13.2 Change the clock settings

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-

13.4 Change the language
Currently the user interface of the Gateway V1 supports six menu languages: English, German, Spanish, Chinese, French and Italian. Choose your language and press the [SAVE] button. The menu will reload with the new menu language.
13.5 Change the user profile
This menu item offers to change the amount of menu items:

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-
profile

  • “Expert” mode: Complete set of menus.
  • “Easy” mode: Removes all configuration menus that are not needed for simply using the Gateway V1.
  • “Island” mode: Reduced set of configurations that are needed for an isolated operation mode without router access. (Please note: The internal Access Point (AP) does not allow to connect to more than 4 client devices at the same time. Compared to a normal home WiFi router, the internal AP is likely to be inferior in terms of signal strength and range.)

13.6 Calibrate the sensors
The factory settings of the Gateway V1 do not contain calibration values for the internal environment sensors, so the results of the measurements may derive from the actual values. You can perform your own calibration, in order to adjust the measurement results to the devices that are already present in your household. After pressing the [SAVE] button, the calibration values will be saved. (Hint: It is recommended to boot up the Gateway device at least 60 minutes before calibrating, so the sensors have already normal operation temperature.)

IDS CORE Gateway V1 Digital Smart Home Controller-profile

13.7 Connect to a new network
The “WLAN” tile allows to scan for networks in your area and choose one to connect to it. Alternatively, you may as well type the SSID of the network manually. Now type the password of the new network in the next line. After pressing the [SAVE] button, the Gateway V1 will automatically reboot and connect to the new network.

13.8 Change the configuration of the access point (AP)
Normally there is no need of changing the AP configuration. When the Gateway V1 has connected to your home router and no device is connected to the AP anymore, the AP will be switched off automatically.
In case you intend to use the Gateway V1 without connection to an external router, you may change the settings on the “Access Point” tile and then press the [SAVE] button to confirm. (Please note: The internal AP does not allow to connect to more than 4 client devices at the same time. Compared to a normal home WiFi router, the internal AP is likely to be inferior in terms of signal strength and range.)
13.9 Reset all user settings to factory values
Only use this menu if you are sure that you want to really delete all user settings and configurations. There will be no way available to recover the deleted settings from any backup data.

Troubleshooting

– I tried to skip the changing of the default password at the beginning of the installation procedure, but now I cannot use the Gateway V1 device.
For security reasons, the device does not allow connecting to a home router or using the RF/IR/WiFi controlling features if the default password “admin” is still valid. Please change the password and choose an own one. This is meant as a security measure for your home network, to prevent unauthorized users from entering this
device’s menu too easily.
– The Gateway V1 did not connect to my home router, I cannot find it using the URL “http://Gateway-V1” in my browser. Please check if the AP of the Gateway V1 is still active. If connection to the specified home router is not possible, the AP will remain active, so you can still log in via the AP and repeat the procedure of scanning and trying to connect to the external WiFi router. Maybe it was just a typo in the password that you entered.
You may also use the configuration pages of your home router, to check if a device named “Gateway_V1” has been granted connection on your router. If this is the case, you have the additional option to use the IP address that the router assigned to the Gateway V1, in order to call it on the URL line of your browser.
– The reception of RF signals is unreliable.
The range of good RF reception is strongly influenced by the installation site of your Gateway V1 device. Do not place it too close to other objects. An ideal place would be the top of a shelf or cabinet (rather than in a corner, between other electronic devices, or on the floor).
– I have reset my password with the button on the login page, and now I cannot connect to the Gateway anymore.
When you reset your password, the Gateway V1 automatically disconnects from your home router for security reasons, so you have to login via the Gateway’s Access Point (AP) on 192.168.55.1 to change the password (Remember, the default password will be “admin” again). If you do not remember how to use the AP, please refer to chapter earlier in the manual. As soon as your new password is set, you may change to the “Settings → Presets” menu and press the “Boot now” button. The Gateway will reboot, and you can access it via your home router again.

Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require you to carry out any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any maintenance or repairs. Clean the device using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. You may dampen the cloth a little with lukewarm water in order to remove more stubborn marks. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

General information about radio 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 of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions. Hereby, Intelligent Digital Services GmbH, Maria-Goeppert-Strasse 5, 23562 Lübeck, Germany declares that the radio equipment type Gateway V1 follows Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.ids- digital.de
