How to set up the STEINEL products on the basis of the new mesh standard.

Create project
• First, create a new project by tapping the plus symbol. 1.
• Next, enter a name for the project. 2.
• Enter all the necessary project details to provide other participants with as much information as possible. 3.
Add users to the project (optional)
• Participants can be added to every project. There are three different roles that can be assigned to participants (administrator, installer or user). 4.
• Each role has different authorizations. %.5.
• To add someone to a project, you can share a QR code &, a text code,6, or an email invitation. 7.
• Participants can take part in a project via “Join project”, using a QR code8 ( or text code )9.
Set up the network (Add products)
• First of all, set up a new Bluetooth network. 10.
• You can either allocate each product directly to a group or configure it as an individual product. 11
• Add all STEINEL products that are to be part of this network (maximum 100 products per network). 12.
• Use the search to see all products within reach that can be added to the network. 12
• Give each added product a unique name (e.g. GF_Entrance_L1) straight away by tapping the pencil symbol. 12.
• You can identify products by making them flash using the eye symbol. 12
• Note: When commissioning additional products, all previously connected products must remain connected to the power supply!
Allocate products to groups
• You can also add products that were not allocated directly to a group during the setting up of the network to a group later.
• Please note that products must be part of the network in order to be allocated to a group.
• You can create new groups using the plus symbol in the “Groups” tab. 13.
• Select the products 14 you wish to add to group 15.
• The products can be configured after they have been allocated to a group or defined as an individual product.
• Note: A group may consist of multiple products or just a single product.
Group settings
• Now configure the Bluetooth system by setting the brightness 17, duration I and dimming level 18 , etc. Click on the tile (16 /17 /18 ) to go to settings 19.
• Please note that the settings always apply to the entire group. Only the sensor range 18 can be configured individually for each product.
• To measure the ambient brightness, choose one product per group as the reference value provided via the light sensor tile 17.
Configure neighbouring groups
• You can allocate neighbouring groups to previously set up groups. 20 & 21.
• When the lights in a group that has been set up are switched on, the lights in the neighbouring group will also come on at the same time.
• The dimming level S of the neighbouring group can be set individually, as well as the lighting type (backlight, dimming level), provided the product is equipped with these features.
• Note: Neighbouring groups are set up from the group you desire a neighbour for – i.e. if you select Group 2 as a neighbouring group in the settings for Group 1, Group 1 will switch on when movement is detected in Group 2. For a two-way connection, the neighbouring group function must be set up in both groups.

Brief explanation of important terms

What is a Bluetooth network?
Steel products can be added to Bluetooth networks. A network can consist of multiple (up to 100) Steinel products. Networks are spatially connected. Products communicate with each other within a network (e.g. on the floor of a building), but NOT between different networks. For very extensive installations, it is advisable to set up multiple independent networks.

What are groups?
Products can be allocated to groups within a network. All products that belong to such a group are linked to each other and behave absolutely identical. Only the detection range can be set individually for each product.
What is a mesh network?
A mesh network is a local Wi-Fi network with several Bluetooth products. The products are connected to each other and can also be controlled together. Each component boosts the transfer signal, thereby contributing to greater wireless coverage.
