1. Last ned app: Last ned Vimar VIEW Trådløs app from your device's app store (for Bluetooth control) or a compatible Zigbee hub app (e.g., Amazon Alexa app for Zigbee).
2. Opprett konto: Open the app and create an account if you don't already have one.
3. Start paringsmodus: Press and hold the physical control button on the actuator for approximately 5 seconds. The RGB LED will begin to pulse blue, indicating it is in pairing mode.
4. Legg til enhet i appen: Follow the on-screen instructions in your chosen app to add a new device. The app should detect the Vimar 19593 actuator.
5. Select Technology: Within the Vimar VIEW Wireless app, you can switch between Bluetooth and Zigbee modes if needed. For Zigbee, ensure your Zigbee hub is also in pairing mode.
6. Fullfør oppsett: Assign a name to your device and configure any initial settings as prompted by the app.

5. Bruksanvisning

5.1 Lokal kontroll

• PÅ/AV: Briefly press the physical control button on the actuator to toggle the connected load ON or OFF.

5.2 Fjernkontroll via app

Once paired, you can control the actuator remotely using the Vimar VIEW Wireless app (for Bluetooth) or a compatible Zigbee app.

• Toggle Load: Open the app, select your Vimar 19593 actuator, and use the virtual button to switch the connected load ON or OFF.
• Energiovervåking: The app provides real-time instantaneous power measurement and tracks consumed energy. This feature allows you to monitor the power usage of the connected appliance.
• RGB LED Adjustment: Adjust the intensity and potentially the color (if supported by the app) of the RGB LED indicator through the app settings.

5.3 Integrering av stemmekontroll

The actuator can be integrated with voice assistants through compatible smart home hubs (e.g., Amazon Alexa for Zigbee). Refer to your voice assistant's setup guide for integration steps.

6. Vedlikehold

• Rengjøring: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Fastvareoppdateringer: Periodically check the Vimar VIEW Wireless app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security. Follow the app's instructions for any update procedures.
• Regelmessige kontroller: Occasionally inspect the device for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.

7. Feilsøking

• Enheten svarer ikke:
  • Sjekk om strømforsyningen er aktiv.
  • Ensure the device is properly wired.
  • If using a Vimar Gateway, confirm it has an active internet (CLOUD) connection, as loss of connection may prevent operation.
• Paringsproblemer:
  • Ensure the actuator's LED is pulsing blue, indicating pairing mode.
  • Verify your smartphone or Zigbee hub is within range.
  • If re-associating, you may need to switch the device to Bluetooth mode via the Vimar Arké app, then back to Zigbee. If this fails, temporarily remove power from the actuator and restore it to attempt a reset before re-pairing.
• LED Not Functioning as Expected (Zigbee Hub):
  • When associated with a generic Zigbee hub, direct control over the LED's function and color may be limited. The LED typically reflects the actuator's ON (blue) or OFF (off) state.
• Power Consumption Readings Missing (Zigbee Hub):
  • Some Zigbee integrations (e.g., ZHA) might not fully support reading power consumption data from this device. Verify compatibility with your specific Zigbee coordinator and integration.
• Fabrikkinnstilling: To perform a factory reset, remove power from the device for a few seconds, then restore it. This may clear all pairing information.
