Using the UP radio transmitter as a sensor

As the radio transmitter UP 9497 has two potential-free inputs, these can also be used to evaluate potential-free contacts from a wide range of sensors

For example:

• Reed contacts for monitoring doors and windows
• Light barriers
• Float switches
• Motion detectors with potential-free contacts

Important!!

In order for the status of the contact to be correctly displayed later in the HomePilot, the
dip switch setting on the UP radio transmittermust
always be as follows:

Dip 1 = 1

Dip 2 = 0

Application examples:

The same principle always applies to the following examples. You need a corresponding sensor with potential-free contact.

Evaluating reed contacts:

• You have already installed reed contacts in the window or door on site and would like to check whether a window or door is closed or open. E.g. to prevent you from locking yourself out in the garden when the door is open because the roller shutter closes automatically. To do this, simply switch off the automatic system of a roller shutter actuator.
• You want to receive a message when the door is opened between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. and at the same time switch on the complete lighting in the garden to deter uninvited visitors.
• You want to control when the door was last opened or closed.

Check water level:

• You want to check the water level in the light well in order to switch on a pump in time and at the same time see the time when the water level was last exceeded.
  
  

Water detector:

• As soon as a water detector notices a water leak, it sends a push message, at the same time lamps in the house can be switched on as an "alarm" or a socket siren can be switched on via a switch actuator (9472-1).

Light barrier:

• When switching a light barrier within a certain time you want to switch on lights and send a message

Login and configuration:

1. Open the HomePilot app and select "Log in device" in the top right menu. Start the login mode of the HomePilot.
2. Now activate the registration mode of the UP radio transmitter by briefly tapping the Connect button once.
   
   
   
3. The devices found will be displayed.
   The radio transmitter is displayed with 3 devices. The transmitter part is not used for this application, but is still saved. Enter "not used" if necessary. The two sensor channels can be designated according to use.
   
4. After saving the data, the sensor parts can be found under sensors. If the contact is switched by the connected sensor, the status can be seen here.

These sensor states can now be used in the triggers as an event or can also be used as a condition.

Application example: Auto / Manu switching:

To explain the procedure, we will use the application example below, where you want to prevent the shutter of the patio door from closing when the door is open.

For this purpose, you need a reed contact, which is either installed directly in the window or, depending on the window type, can be retrofitted. This contact should be a closing contact (window closed = contact closed).

In addition, you will need the UP 9497 radio transmitter.

Connection:

Connect the closing contact of the contact to the input 1 of the radio transmitter UP 9497 (yellow and black) the second channel (green and black) is not used in the case, but could be used to control a second window with a separate contact.

1. Create a scene " Terrace door open - activate MANU" and add the appropriate device. Select "MANU: Automatic" as the destination for the device.
2. Create a trigger "Patio door open - Activate MANU" Select Contact as the event. As the source, select the appropriate sensor and use the open state.
3. Now link the trigger to the previously created scene.

In the same way, a second scene and a second trigger "Patio door closed - AUTO activate" are now created, which ensures that the automatic system is switched on again when the door is closed.
