3 step installation

1. Download the ELRO Connects App
   Download the “ELRO Connects” app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. To enjoy all the functions of the ELRO Connects system, make sure to allow the app to send push notifications and use your current location.

2. Register an Account
   When opening the app for the first time, the login screen will pop-up. Please press ‘Create an account’ (1) on the bottom right corner of the app.
   
   Enter your e-mail address (2). To verify your e-mail address, please press ‘Get code’ (3). Now a pop-up will appear in which you need to fill in a graphic verification code (4). (Be aware of capital and lower case letters!)
   
   After you’ve entered the graphic’s verification code, you’ll receive an e-mail from the ELRO Connects App.
   The verification code you received in your e-mail needs to be filled in left to the “Get code” button (3).
   Next, type in the password (5) you need to use at least 8 digits, a mix of upper/lower case letters and numbers and/or special characters. Re-enter the password in the field underneath and press ‘Create an account’. You can check the password by pressing on the eye symbol! The login screen will appear and you can login to the app by using your email and created password.

   Once you have logged into the app, you are taken to the network configuration. Plug in the K1 connector into a power outlet and wait for the LED indicator to turn green. Next, press the K1 Connector’s button (1) for at least 3 seconds until the LED flashes blue. (2) Press ‘Next’.

   Make sure that you use a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. This means that this cannot be a Wi-Fi signal that exists of both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals. We recommend that you turn of the 5GHz signal when installing the K1. After the installation you can turn this signal back on again.

Connect ELRO Connects products to the app

Connecting the different ELRO Connects products to your app is very easy and will take you very little time. First, go to the Device List by tapping the ‘Devices’ (1) at the bottom right corner of your Home screen. Next, tap the ‘+’ in the upper right corner (2).

Please note! The ELRO Connects Water Detector (FW3801R) doesn’t have a button, use a screwdriver to touch both sensors 3 times in success.

Congratulations!
You successfully connected an ELRO Connects product to your app. You can now name the product and use it in your app to control with your smartphone, use in scenes etc

Scenes
Your ELRO Connects app has 3 pre-installed operation modes “Home, “Away” and “Sleep”. You can switch between these operation modes by tapping the button in the middle of your Home screen and select the desired mode.

Creating scenes
Press the “Scenes” button at the bottom of the start screen. Here you can set up various scenes for your ELRO Connects system. It is possible to add various automatic actions to these scenes to automate everything. To create a scene, simply press the “+” (1) in the scene overview. A screen will appear where you can add conditions and link them to an action that needs to be executed (2). You can also use the following menu items to set up your own automatic actions. It is possible to modify a scene by pressing one of the scenes.

Automatic actions

So it is possible to set an automatic action on a scene. You can assign one or more conditions to an automatic action. If one or more of these conditions are met, the automatic action will be executed. For example, it is possible to have a plug switch on when a door is opened. By following the steps below you can easily create automatic actions yourself. In the scene overview, press the plus sign to create an automatic actions (1). You can then give a name to the automatic action (2). Add the conditions that will trigger the automatic action (3). This can be a timer or a button press, for example (4). Then determine which action should be performed when one or more of the conditions are met (5). The list of actions will grow as different products are added to your system (6).
Please note! When only using fire protection products, it is not necessary to create automatic actions. There are also a number of standard automatic actions for intrusion protection. You therefore do not need to set these up yourself either.

Timers

On the home screen, press the “Scenes” button at the bottom of the home screen. To set a timer, press the clock in the top left corner of your screen. You will then see an overview of all your set timers. By pressing the plus sign you can set a time when a scene will start automatically. For example, you can set the “Sleep mode” to be activated at 23:00 every day.

Troubleshooting

If the installation fails or you encounter some other problem, please refer to this troubleshooting. It contains a number of tips and tricks that might help you further.

Installation K1

When installing the K1 system, we recommend that you pay attention to the following points.

• Make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal.
• Make sure your Wi-Fi password/name does not contain any spaces.
• The Wi-Fi name should be entered automatically during the network configuration. Is this not the case? Then you need to enable the location services on your phone and in the app’s settings. Also, all permissions need to be accepted.
• Are you sure that the password for the Wi-Fi is correct? By clicking on the eye on the right, you can see the password you have entered.
• Make sure the connector flashes blue when you go through the network configuration.
• If all of the above does not appear to be the cause of the problem, then you are probably dealing with a combined WiFi band. In other words, a WiFi band that offers both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz (in some cases, a combined WiFi band is still displayed as a 2.4GhzWiFi). We recommend that you check the router settings to see which frequencies are offered for the relevant SSID. Before installing the system, temporarily disable the 5GHz signal and go through the installation. After installing the K1 connector, you can turn the 5GHz signal on again. If that doesn’t work, you can also create a separate wifi band with a unique name and password on 2.4Ghz only. I can imagine that this is complex, we therefore advise you to contact your telecom provider for the correct settings to set up a separate 2.4Ghz WiFi band in this case, they will be able to help you the quickest and best.

FAQ

• Q Can I connect a second device to my system?
  A It is possible to link several phones to one connector. You can do this simply by logging in with your account on multiple devices.

• Q How many devices can be connected to the connector?
  A Up to 127 devices can be connected to the connector.

• Q Can I add multiple connectors to one account?
  A This is certainly possible. You can add various connectors by pressing the top right of the home screen. Then you have to press ‘Configure your connector’. Each connector has its own set of scenes and devices and are therefore not connected to each other.

• Q What is the wireless range of the system?
  A All components have a range of 100m in an open space without any obstacles or interfering signals. All accessories should be located within reach of each other, as the system is not a mesh network.
