3 Function and device overview

With the Homematic IP Wiegand interface, you can integrate devices that have a Wiegand interface (e.g. a code lock, fingerprint or card/transponder reader) into your Homematic IP smart home system. You then have the option of combining Wiegand devices with Homematic IP devices via the free WebUI user interface.

Any 20 Wiegand codes can be transmitted to the Wiegand interface.

The Wiegand interface has 8 virtual input channels that can be individually linked to the Wiegand codes. A Wiegand code can then control one or more virtual input channels and thus trigger one or more actions (e.g. switching a switch actuator, opening a door via a door lock drive or activating/deactivating alarm functions).

In addition to the Wiegand inputs, the device also features an input for connecting a doorbell button, an input for connecting a tamper contact and an open-collector switching output.

6 Troubleshooting

6.1 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (A) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see see “9 General information about radio operation” on page 31). This may be caused by the following:

Receiver cannot be reached.
Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
Receiver is faulty.

6.2 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 comes to an end. 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 one long flash of the device LED (A) , and may manifest itself in the device temporarily not working. The device will start working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

6.3 Error codes and flashing sequences

Flashing code	Meaning	Solution
Short orange flashing	Radio transmission/ attempting to transmit/ data
transmission	Wait until the transmission is completed.
1x long green lighting	Transmission confirmed	You can continue operation.
1x long red flash	Transmission failed or duty cycle limit reached	Please try

again (see “6.1 Command not confirmed” on page 28 or see “6.2 Duty cycle” on page 28).
Short orange flashing (every 10 s)| Pairing mode active| Enter the last four numbers of the device serial number to confirm (see see “5.4 Pairing” on page 26).
6x long red flashes| Device defective| Please see your app for error message or contact your retailer.
1x orange and 1x green flash (after connecting the power supply)| Test display| You can continue once the test display has stopped.

7 Restoring factory settings

The device’s factory settings can be restored. If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings of the device, please proceed as follows:

Press and hold down the system button (A) using a pen for 4 seconds until the LED (A) quickly starts flashing orange (see figure 7).
Release the system button.
Press and hold down the system button again for 4 seconds, until the LED lights up green (see figure 8).
Release the system button again to conclude the procedure. The device will perform a restart. After the restart, you can again integrate your device into your Homematic IP system.

8 Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs.

Clean the device using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

9 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 transmission range 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 onsite structural/screening conditions.
