User interface

Inputs

Navigation Buttons (< or >):
- Single press: Switches the active control channel (1-4). Channel change is indicated by a beep and flashing of the selected channel LED. If the remote hasn’t been used for a while, the first press will only indicate the current channel.
- Long press: Starts angle measurement using the built-in accelerometer. Upon release, the rotation angle is transmitted in the X, Y, and Z axes - one angle per axis.
- Press 3 times rapidly: Sends a Zigbee Group Identify command to all devices in the group linked to the current channel. The devices will identify themselves for 5 seconds, for example by blinking (bulbs) or flashing an LED.
- Press 4 times rapidly: Enters BLE pairing mode. Indicated by LEDs flashing from left to right. Success is shown with 5 slow flashes.
- Press 5 times rapidly: Enters Zigbee inclusion mode. Indicated by LEDs flashing right to left. Success is shown with 5 slow flashes. Pressing any button on the device will exit inclusion mode.
Ring Buttons (Left or Right):
- Single press: Sends a control command on the active channel.
- Press 3 times rapidly: Sends a Zigbee Group Identify command to all devices in the group linked to the current channel. The devices will identify themselves for 5 seconds, for example by blinking (bulbs) or flashing an LED.
- Press 4 times rapidly: Enters BLE pairing mode (same behavior as navigation buttons).
- Press 5 times rapidly: Enters Zigbee inclusion mode (same behavior as navigation buttons).
- Hold for 30 seconds: Performs a factory reset. Success is shown by all LEDs flashing once with a beep.
Scroll Wheel:
- Rotate up/down: Adjusts brightness, moves covers, or triggers other actions depending on the paired device.

Outputs

LED Indication (x4 separate channel LEDs):
- Channel change: Selected channel LED flashes twice with a beep when using < or > buttons.
- Command transmitted: Single flash on the LED of the selected channel.
- Device pick up: LED of the current channel flashes after inactivity if the accelerometer is active.
- BLE pairing mode: LEDs flash from left to right. Success is indicated by 5 slow flashes.
- Zigbee inclusion mode: LEDs flash from right to left. Success is shown with 5 slow flashes and a beep.
- Zigbee Identify: All LEDs flash rapidly 5 times.
- Group identify: LED of the selected channel flashes for 5 seconds while the devices on this channel are identifying themselves.
- Factory reset: All LEDs flash once with a beep.
