• Wi-Fi compatibility The Light-Manager Air uses the 802.11g standard (54 Mbit) with WPA2 encryption on the channels 1-11. Please ensure that your access point is configured accordingly. The network type can be set to any mode including g, for example 802.11 n+g.

Note: The encryption type must be set to WPA2. The outdated mixed mode WPA+WPA2 is not supported. This is especially important for FRITZ!Box routers which usually come with mixed mode enabled by default. Setup with WPS A comfortable method to connect the Light-Manager to your Wi-Fi network is by using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup).

Right after power has been plugged in, the Light-Manager creates its own Wi-Fi network called Light-Manager Air. You can connect to this network with your smartphone, tablet or PC. There is no password required.
Possible errors during connection establishment If the LED flashes in red during connection establishment then there is an error. The number of times it flashes in red gives information about the error source. 1x Blinking: the network name (SSID) is wrong •...

The configuration of the Light-Manager is done with the software airStudio which can be found in the download section of www.jbmedia.de free of charge. On the left side of the main window there is a table which shows the whole configuration.

To start this scenario with a Logitech Harmony remote control, please add the device Light-Manager Air from the Logitech database to your remote control. This will install buttons with the names L001 until L255 on your Harmony. The number behind the letter L corresponds to the scene number configured in AirStudio.
Timer With the integrated real time clock of the Light-Manager it is possible to trigger scenarios at certain points of times at certain days. The internal clock of the Light-Manager is synchronized with an Internet time server resulting in a very accurate time adjustment at any time. The option Simulate presence will move points of time in the range of +/- 60 minutes randomly.

You can define your location in airStudio under Options -> Astro function comfortably by a Google maps application. The hops in the curves are changes from summer to winter time and back. For control purposes the dusk and dawn times for the current day are displayed in the lower right corner of the window.

Temperature Scenarios can be triggered when the temperature rises above or falls below a certain level. For this purpose the Light-Manager measures temperature every minute and triggers scenarios if required. This function is useful to control a fan or electric blinds for example.
A very powerful feature is the ability to trigger scenarios by signals of RF transmitters, e.g. wall switches, motion detectors, magnet switches, brightness detectors or other components. To create such a scenario it is sufficient to send an RF signal with one of these components.

The Light-Manager allows getting a notification by e-mail when a scenario has been executed. This is especially suitable for scenarios which are triggered by sensors. So you could get an e-mail as soon as a window or a door has been opened or motion has been detected.

Markers Markers are a powerful tool for advanced programming technics. Markers are variables which can have the values 1 (ON) and 0 (OFF) only. The value of each marker can be altered by actions within scenarios. This makes it possible to visualize certain information in the marker section of the web interface.
Transferring the configuration When configuration is completed it has to be transferred to the Light-Manager. This is done with the Transfer button. Finally the Light-Manager is ready for action.
