Configuration

Before configuring ONYX.SWITCH, download HELLA’s free “ONYX” app from the App store / Google Play to your smartphone.

The wall-mounted radio transmitter appears in the app and can be selected. Then follow the instructions on the screen. “Settings for motor and pushbuttons” can usually be adopted. When using a weather sensor you should activate the respective sensor for each taught-in control unit.

Only after the connection of all control devices/ sensors, go to “←” on the top left. Now tap on one of the 5 groups and assign the devices as you like. The configuration is completed with “Done”. You can close the app now. If, after the configuration of the ONYX.SWITCH, your shading elements move into the wrong direction, connect the wall-mounted radio transmitter with the app “ONYX” as described above.

Under the menu item “Advanced settings” you find the item “Brightness range “. Here two ranges can be adjusted via the two scroll bars. Both ranges can be assigned the action “Extend” or “Retract”. These settings can only be made, if a weather sensor ONYX.WEATHER is available. You can find additional information regarding the adjusting possibilities at the control device in the respective “Instructions for use”.

Configuration of ONYX.SWITCH with ONYX.CENTER

First of all, ONYX.CENTER must be configured completely according to the “Instructions for use” enclosed.

The groups can be adjusted under “Advanced settings”.
