User Manual

Device description

The WiFi/BT Controller and WiFi/BT Controller PRO modules are designed to control electrical gates and barriers, but can also be used to control other devices whose inputs or outputs match the connection configuration of our product.

The parameters of the module can be set via the Cloud Manager mobile application with Bluetooth connection or in case of WIFI network access at www.ascloudmanager.com. After setting up properly in the Cloud Manager application, you can also control your devices with a Bluetooth or Cloud (connected to a WIFI or Internet network) icon. For individual icons, grouping them in different colors can make output control even easier.
The parameters of the module can be seen in the Cloud Manager application, and we can customize our control icons.

in Cloud Manager application

• unique module name or site name
• module connection path selection (Bluetooth/Cloud)
• Create control icons by selecting custom icons and colors
• WIFI network setting required to connect the module to the cloud
• status query (basic data, version number, WIFI settings)

When creating a control icon, you can select the control connection (Bluetooth or Cloud). For type, select the “Timing (monostable)” control. The output timing option has been increased to 18 hours 12 minutes and 15 seconds, so
You can select the output control time from 0-65535s.
Press the control icon created on the Control Manager tab of the Cloud Manager application to activate the device output. In case of successful control, a pop-up window indicates the execution of the control. In the event of an error, a dialog box opens. When connected to the Internet, the server sends a push message to the module.

Indications and functions of the module
Push-button:

• short pressure – module connection mode selection (1x Bluetooth pair, 2x WPS)
• long push – deleting the settings (PIN code, Bluetooth connections, WiFi connection

LED’s:
Blue – Bluetooth connection/operation
Green – Wifi connection/operation
Red – Push connection/operation
When the module is switched on, the blue, green and red LEDs flash simultaneously and then as a running light. If WIFI is not set, the light bar will run 4 times and then blue will remain lit. If the blue flashes, the module is available via Bluetooth. This takes 15 minutes, after which only paired devices can access the module.

Within 15 minutes, the Cloud Manager application must be started and then the module must be paired with a Bluetooth connection. After setting up Bluetooth, you can connect your module to the local WIFI network. At the end of the WIFI setup, it will automatically restart and connect to the configured WIFI network. When connected successfully, you will see a green LED. It will try up to 20 times if the connection fails.
Then the “push” system is connected, if it is successful, the red LED will also light up. After a power failure, the module will automatically turn on the Bluetooth synchronization option, in which case the blue LED will flash. Then, after 15 minutes, each LED will turn off and flash only for the duration of the communication. The blue LED lights up continuously when a Bluetooth connection is active.
If you are not able to log in to the WIFI network, the module will restart as if no WIFI connection was set up. This allows you to change the settings.

Add WiFi/BT Controller to ASCloud Manager (WEB)
There are two ways to assign a WiFi/BT Controller to your account on the ASCloud Manager website:

1. if you add your account to the module in the user settings of a device already registered in the cloud. You can only assign a cloud-registered device directly to your account that is not already assigned to a user. In the case of a WiFi/BT Controller already registered in the cloud, you can easily and quickly add the module you want to use to your user account with a few clicks by modifying the users assigned to the device.
2. for our new device, we have set up a local WIFI network with a WPS connection, through which the device can access the ASCloud Manager server. After WPS connection, the module is immediately available in the cloud and is programmable. Once the device is available in the cloud, you can assign it to your own account and change access permissions.
   It is easy to use so that we can program the module anytime and anywhere after registration.

Add registered devices
By clicking the „Add a registered device to a user” button, you can enter a name for the new device, which can be a location or a special name, and then associate it with an existing installation location if you use multiple devices in the same location. Entering the MAC number on the box will save the device to the cloud.

Device operations
You can access the device settings by selecting them from the list and clicking on the module row.
Device setup (rename)
You can give your device a unique name of your choice for easier identification.
Device replacement
We use this feature if we want to completely replace our device with a new module. In this case, the data and settings of the old device saved in ASCloud Manager will be copied in their entirety, the new module will be the same as the old one in practically everything, only the ID number will change.
NOTICE!
After copying (cloning) the old device will be replaced in the cloud, so the old module will no longer be usable !!!
Delete device
Hold down the small black button on the module panel for 5 seconds, then delete the WiFi/BT Controller or WiFi/BT Controller PRO from the cloud, using the trash button on the same row. The order is important because otherwise the device will automatically write itself back into the cloud.
Device status

You can view the current status of the outputs or inputs of your device.
Green indicates the cloud connection status of our registered device.

Notifications

There are two types of notifications:

• system notifications, which usually contain important messages about the server, development, or any system
• status notifications, where we receive e-mail notifications about the controls and conditions we have selected to the e-mail address we have also chosen.

Add Notifications

Push the „Add notification” button
Local signal
You can select the output or input of the WiFi/BT Controller or WiFi/BT Controller PRO module depending on which one changes you want to be notified about.
Types you can specify the direction of the output change

Notified e-mail address
Select the e-mail address to which you want to send the notification. You can also personalize the message and subject field.
NOTE!
Depending on the user and e-mail address with which the module is registered, you may not see an e-mail address or the e-mail address to which you want to be notified. In this case, select the desired e-mail address from the Users menu and add the one to be notified for e-mail setup. After saving, log out and log back in at www.ascloudmanager.com. Continue setting the notification to the desired email address.
Add and managing users
You can assign users to your device with users email and password, we can give them personal permission to output control.
The WiFi/BT Controller has one output, while the WiFi/BT Controller PRO module can handle two outputs and two inputs by specifying any user rights.
User access
We can edit the access of our users and grant individual permissions. You can change it, change your password, and if you no longer want to use it, simply delete it with the appropriate symbol.
Admin: Administrator access
You have all permissions except to delete the user who created the permission.
Service: Reading permission, allows access to service data related to the operation of the module.

WIFI control: Here we can define what area of use we provide to our user. If selected, the user can only control the output within the local WIFI network.
Note!
For such use, the WiFi/BT Controller must always be connected to a local WIFI network with the appropriate strength!
It is important to mention that, for example, near a gate, our mobile device automatically searches for WiFi/BT Controller device, so we can control the WiFi/BT Controller with a Bluetooth connection. In this case, as a user on site, it is difficult to determine with which connection we were able to activate the output. This is important if the gate can be opened in the immediate vicinity of the gate but we can no longer control the device.
If we leave the WIFI limit field blank, we can control our output from anywhere with any mobile Internet connection outside the WIFI network.
The WiFi/BT Controller can be accessed from anywhere in the world with a suitable WIFI connection.
