Router App Description

Router app is not contained in the standard router firmware. Uploading of this router app is described in the Configuration manual (see Chapter Related Documents).
This router app is compatible with Smart Routers of v3, v4 and v2i CZ platforms only.
Sleep Mode router app allows to switch the router into Low Power Mode and then wake it up again, based on various parameters. It is an advanced graphical user interface that enables employment of LPM command supported by v3 routers.
Control parameters for sleep (low power mode) and wake up can be binary inputs or time (time period expiration and time of the day).
For configuration of the Sleep Mode router app a web interface is available. It can be accessed by pressing the module name on the Router apps page of the router’s web interface.
Left part of this interface contains a menu with the Return link in the Customization section (see Figure1), which will switch back to the main router’s web interface. The main part of the interface contains the configuration page described in the next chapter.

Configuration

You can enable the Sleep Mode router app and then set the Wake Up and Sleep control parameters. See the Table1for explanation. Activate the desired Wake Up/Sleep event(s) and click Apply. On the Figure below there is an example of running the router only when binary input 1 is active and then sleep after 10 seconds of binary input 1 inactivity.

Attention! Be cautious when configuring the Sleep section of the router app. When not properly set, the router can be in low power mode for a long period of time or even can not be waken up in some configuration combination. When you could not wake up your router, the factory reset would wake up the device.

Wake Up at HH:MM| Hour and minute of the day when the router will wake up from low power mode regularly every day.
Sleep if binary input 0 is inactive/active for s| Inactive is default (status = off), since wake up can be done only on active input. You can set the length of the binary input
inactivity/activity (impulse) that leads to sleep mode. Sleep on binary input 0 is available on all v3 routers.
Sleep if binary input 1 is inactive/active for s| Inactive is default (status = off), since wake up can be done only on active input. You can set the length of the binary input

Table 1:Sleep Mode configuration parameters

It is possible to activate more then one Wake Up/Sleep events. If done so, the first event counts. E.g.:
Both Wake Up if binary input … and Wake up at HH:MM are active. At specified HH:MM the router is waken up. Afterwards the binary input is set to active, but it does nothing since the router is already awake.
The binary inputs available for particular router models may vary. Note the difference on Figures2 (Smart Flex, Smart Motion) and3(Smart Star, ICR-3200). On Smart Flex and Smart Motion the binary input 0 can not be used to wake up the router. For details on binary inputs see User Manual of your particular device, chapter I/O Port.

3.1 Example
On Figure below there is an example of setting the Sleep Mode in Smart Start/ICR-3200 router (wake up on binary input 0 available). The router is configured to sleep always after 2 hours since waken up (7200 seconds). It can be waken up either if binary input 0 is active, or it will wake up after 4 hours anyway (14400 seconds) when the binary input stays inactive.
