DoorBox v2 Wifi Doors Controller User Manual
INSTALLATION – BASICS
-
Disconnect the installation supply voltage before installing the controller.
Remember that any mounting works should be carried out when the mains voltage is disconnected (switch off the mains fuse or disconnect the power cord from the mains socket). -
The controller should be installed in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions, protected from third party access – in the flush box or inside the enclosure of the controlled device. Remember that metallic elements (wires, housing parts) have a negative influence on the range of the device, and consequently the comfort of use. It is recommended that the device be mounted in a stable and fixed position.
-
Read the diagram and then proceed to install the controller. Pay particular attention to the designation of the controller connectors. Start by connecting the power wires.
-
Connect the electric bolt lock / electromagnetic lock circuit, between power supply, relay contacts and ground. The built-in relay has a potential-free normally open contacts, i.e. those in which a pair of contacts is open at rest and closes when the user presses the control button.
-
It is possible to receive a feedback from the controller indicating the door in the positions “closed” or “intermediate position”. To do this, connect the citcuit of the electromechanical limit switch. The polarization of the limit switch inputs does not matter. It is possible to connect also a digital inductive proximity sensor – this sensor must be powered and the output of the sensor should be connected to the input IN1.
-
To open the door with the optional monostable switch (push-button), connect the switch circuit to the IN2 input of the controller. This kind of switch is usually used as a exit button from a building or property.
-
The IN3 input has been designed to allow the extension of product application capabilities and currently is not used.
-
After making sure that the device is connected in accordance with the diagram and that there are no metal components near the controller which may accidentally cause short-circuit, start the device by turning on the power (turning on the mains fuse or connecting the power cord to the power outlet).
CONNECTION DIAGRAM
FIRST START
-
Download the free wBox application. If you have an Android mobile device, you will find the application in the Play Store. For iOS devices the application is in the App Store.
-
By using your mobile phone or tablet, connect it to the device wireless network. To do this, enter to your smartphone or tablet settings, then go to setting of the WiFi network and find the network name “doorBox-xxxxxxxxxx” where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the device. Connect to this network.

You can also set the configuration using the web browser of your phone / tablet. After connecting to the wireless network of the controller, turn on the browser and go website www.blebox.eu -
Test the work of the controller by clicking the door icon – the connected electric lock should activate and the door open.
-
If a wall push-button has been connected, check its operation. By pressing the button, the electric lock should work.
-
If a door position sensor (eg a reed switch or an inductive sensor) has been connected, check the opening / closing status of the door. If the controller incorrectly shows the position, change the detecting method of the limit switches. To do this, go to seting (“Settings” icon at the top-right corner of the screen) and then in the option “Detection method of limit switch” choose another method. Remember to save the setting by clicking on the “Save” button, then go to the main panel by clicking on the arrow in the top-left corner, check again if the status of the door is displayed as expected.
-
Go to “Settings” (icon at the top-right corner of the screen). In the “Gate settings” section, in the field “Address (URL) of the MJPEG stream” you can enter the URL stream of the camera IP which supervise the motor.
-
In case you need to make changes in the advanced controller settings, click on “Show advanced” button. Will appear additional options.
-
In the “Gate output type” field, the output behavior can be changed between the normally open output (NO – when the output is not shorten) or normally closed (NC – in other words at rest state pair of contacts is shorten, opens when the user press the control button). It is also possible to adjust the duration of the impulse in the output – between 0.1 sec. to 15 seconds – after a single press of the control button.
ACCESS POINT AND WIFI NETWORK SETTINGS
- Once you turn on the controller for the first time, you can proceed to its further configuration. Being connected to the WiFi network emitted by the device, in the control panel of the wBox application select the device, then go to “Settings” (icon at the top-right corner of the screen).
- You can change the name of the device that is displayed in the wBox application. In addition, you can change the name and password of its generated WiFi network. Remember that changing the network name or password will disconnect the device immediately after you click the “Save” button, so re-connect to the device using the newly assigned network name and password.
- You can add the controller to your home WiFi network to control it through this home network or from anywhere in the World. To do this, in the “Connect” settings section, select a network name from the list and press “Connect”. If is required, enter the WiFi network password. During the connection of the controller to your home network, the phone / tablet may disconnected from the network. In this case, you will need to reconnect your phone / tablet to the controller network.
- Please remember that in order to control the device outside the local WiFi network, from anyplace in the World by using the wBox application, the option “Remote access enabled” in the controller settings must be set to “Yes”.
- Once you’ve finished configuring the WiFi network, you can disconnect your phone/tablet from the controller network and connect your mobile device directly to your home WiFi network. The control from the wBox application will work the same way as when the phone / tablet is connected to the controller network. If the user leaves the local network, for example, leaving home or using the mobile data, the wBox application will signal this state as “Remote mode”. In this case, the devices can be controlled, but for security reasons settings are not available.
ACCESS MANAGEMENT
- Return to the controller settings. In the “Access management” section, you can also create accounts for the gate users. This provides additional protection for access to the controller. If you create users, the option of adding a controller to the wBox application and its control will be available only after entering the correct login and password.
- To add a new user, in the “Access management” section, press the “Add” button and then fill in the new window the “User name” and “Password” fields and press the “Save” button. If at least one user account is added, the controller will require logging each time the controller is added to the wBox application. Only after logging in the controller, it will be possible to control the motor.
