Upon selecting the NX Room Setup option from the home screen, the user will be directed to the Device Discovery Page which will automatically begin to show all NX Bluetooth enabled devices that are in range. See Figure 2. The Device Type, Device MAC Address and Device Signal Strength will assist in locating the exact device the user is trying to connect to and configure. Note that if a Security Passcode has previously been enabled for the Device, you will be prompted to enter the Passcode prior to connecting. All NX Bluetooth enabled Devices are security enabled and can be protected against unauthorized connection through a security PIN.

There are a number of NX Devices that are Bluetooth enabled. Connecting to a Bluetooth enabled NX Device will allow configuration of that individual device’s settings in addition to any NX devices that are connected to it via a wired SmartPORT connection.

• NXBTR Bluetooth radio dongle
• NXBTC Bluetooth radio dongle with Real Time Clock
• NXSMPS series Smart Sensors
• NXOFMS series On Fixture Module

NAVIGATING THE APP

Once a Device is selected from the Device Discovery Page, the app will display a list of all the connected devices that are available for programming. See Figure 3. Each Device Type is listed under the Devices Discovered section with a corresponding quantity. The quantity of devices will vary depending on the number of devices present within the space. Below the Devices Discovered the user will find configuration settings for the space. These settings apply to all devices connected within the same Zone. Note that each Zone has the ability to program up to 16 Presets and 99 Schedules regardless of the quantity of connected devices.

The Discover Button located at the top of the screen allows for the user to start the Discovery of additional devices. This should be used when a desired device is not seen or was added after the initial discovery.

FIGURE 3

Tapping a device type will open the device configuration screen for that individual device. If multiple devices of the same type are present, an additional device selection screen will appear when tapping that device for configuration. For example, tapping the Relays line will open a screen listing the two available Relays for configuration. Tapping the desired Relay from the list will open that individual device’s configuration page. See Figure 4, on page 5.

FIGURE 4

RELAYS AND DIMMERS

To configure the relays and dimmers the user will simply select the corresponding relay or dimmer from the device list. The configuration screens for both relays and dimmers offer control of connected lighting loads. The Relay Control button on the relay screen and the Dimmer Control Slider on the dimmer screen will control the lighting loads in real time. All other selections are settings for each device’s behavior based on occupancy, priority or group to which they are associated.

Relays and dimmers must be included in at least one Group in order to function with other devices in the same Zone. Note that by default all devices are assigned to either Group 1 or 2 until configured by a user. To select a Group, scroll to the bottom of the screen to select from up to 16 available Groups . See Figure 7, on page 9.

NX WALL STATIONS

NX offers two categories of wall stations. Specialty Wall Stations are preprogrammed from the factory with default button configurations. These button configurations can not be changed but the user does have the ability to adjust the settings. For example, a NXSW-ORLO wall station is set to provide On, Off, Raise and Lower functions. The Programmable Smart Wall Stations such as the NXSW-2 have buttons that can be programmed to any of the available button types in the NX system and provide unique functionality. To begin configuring a NX Wall Station, the user simply selects Switches from the Discovered Devices screen to open a list of all available wall stations. Tapping a desired wall station from the list will open the individual configuration page for that device.

NX Specialty and Smart Wall Stations must be included in at least one Group in order to function with other devices in the same Zone. Note by Default all devices are assigned to either Group 1 or 2 until configured by a user. To select a Group scroll to the bottom of the screen to select from up to 16 available Groups. See Figure 7, on page 9.

LEGACY DAYLIGHT SENSOR

To configure a Legacy Daylight Sensor first select the device from the Discovered Devices screen. With the Legacy Daylight Sensor, the user can configure up to 6 Daylighting Zones within the space. Note that at least one Zone must be selected in order to calibrate the Legacy Daylight Sensor. The default setting for all daylight sensors is Test Mode to prevent undesired operation until daylighting is configured. To configure the settings, use the pull down menu to select the desired daylighting function. The configuration screen will populate the corresponding setting based on the selected mode by the user.

To configure a NXSMP Digital Smart Sensor, select the user must select the desired device from the Discovered Devices page. Before configuring the Occupancy and Daylight setting it is strongly recommended to name the devices to assist with identification. To name a device, simply tap on the Name field, type in a name for the device and tap the Save button at the top of the screen.

In addition to naming the device, the user is also strongly recommended to set a passcode to prevent unauthorized Bluetooth connection to the NX system. To use this feature, the user should scroll to the New Passcode Setup. Here, the user will enter the desired passcode into the corresponding fields. Note that ASCII characters can be used to create a passcode with a max of 4 characters.

Note that the NXBTC and NXOFM also support the Security Passcode feature.

SMART OCCUPANCY SENSORS

All NXSMP Digital Sensors come equipped with IntelliSCOPETM for real time occupancy data visualization. To access IntelliSCOPE, ensure you are on the NX Smart Sensor Configuration page. Next ,select the top right submenu and tap on View Occ Data. This will automatically open the Intelliscope screen and begin to show the user real time occupancy data for the corresponding sensor, See Figure 6. To alter the sensitivity settings, simply return to the Occupancy Configuration page on the prior screen using the Back button. This tool assists in precise calibration of the occupancy sensor all from a mobile device without physically accessing the sensor.

CONFIGURING GROUPS, PRESETS AND SCHEDULES

To configure the Daylight portion of the NX Smart Sensor, tap the PC setup button in the submenu located at the top right of the screen. See Figure 5, on page 7. By default, the photocell is set to Disabled until the user configures the devices. To configure the daylight sensor, the user must select the desired mode. Once selected, the app will populate the corresponding settings for that mode.

FIGURE 7

GROUPS

All devices must belong in at least one Group with a relay and/or dimmer in order to control any connected lighting loads. When configuring any NX devices, ensure that at least one Group is selected at the bottom of the configuration screen. By default, all devices belong to at least one group until the user configures for a specific application. See Figure 7.

Note that location and time must be set in order for a schedule to operate correctly. These can also be set from the Configuration Settings section.

CLONING FUNCTIONALITY (COPY PASTE)

The controlHUBB app allows the user to save (copy) an individual device such as an occupancy sensor, a relay or a dimmer setting and re-use (paste) it on another device of the same type. To use this feature, select the submenu at the top right of the screen. If you are copying a device that has been configured, select Save Settings. Once saved, return back to the main menu and select a similar device from the Discovered Devices list. Next, return to the submenu at the top right and select Recall Settings. This will paste the desired settings to the device. Once complete, select save and the device will now be configured.

COPY AND PASTE SETTINGS FROM ONE DEVICE TO ANOTHER

CLONING

The Cloning function also allows a user to copy an entire device type such as a room controller, in-fixture module, wall stations, preset and/or schedule. To do this, simply select the device itself rather then the individual dimmer or relay and go to the submenu in the top right. Next, select Clone and Save this Device Settings. Once you have saved the device settings, you may now return to the Clone window and select Load Settings to a single device or many devices. This function of cloning helps reduce time in commissioning rooms that are identical.

Presets and Schedules can also be copied along with devices. This can assist in setting up any desired presets and scheduled events that a user may want to be utilized across multiple similar space types.

Note: When recalling a profile for a room controller, user can opt to include presets. There is no need to create a profile separately for presets. See Figure 8, on page 9.

Note the Super Clone function will work for NX devices such as room controllers, in- fixture controllers, wall stations (of the same type), NX Smart Sensors, schedules and presets. The Super Clone function does not work for individual relays or dimmers.

GLOBAL DISCOVERY

The Global Discovery function allows the user to configure networked and wireless devices from the controlHUBB app. The devices may be connected either via a wired connection or wireless connection utilizing a NX Bridge or NX Radio Module. The user can access these devices through a single Bluetooth® NX device and configure individual devices, Groups, or Zones from a single connection via Global Discovery.

Before using Global Discovery, be sure to set the Global Discovery Filters in the Configuration Settings. This allows you to filter Device Type, Input, and Limit. Note that it is recommended to discover no more than 10 devices at a time.

Once the filters have been set, the user selects Discover at the top of the page then selects Global. The app will automatically begin to discover networked and wireless devices.

4. Global Discovery Device List

A classic application for Global Discovery is a wireless mesh network of fixtures but with only one of those fixtures having a smart sensor. In this scenario, the user only has one Bluetooth device in the entire network, which is the smart sensor. Without Global Discovery, user would be unable to access and configure the non-smart sensor wireless fixtures even though they are part of the same mesh network. However, using the Global option in the Discover tab, each wireless fixture in the mesh (subject to device limits) can be discovered, accessed and configured. See Figure 11.
