Page 3: What Is B@Home
Smartphone/tablet app or web browser – the intuitively simple control allows you to access the rooms individually or all together. And remote control of the b@home system is incredibly simple too: If you are out and about, you can use the Internet for mobile access but if you are at home, you can simply use your home network. -
Page 4: Components Of The B@Home System
An overview of the b@home components which can be controlled remotely The b@home system can be used to remotely control all heating and cooling systems: electric systems, such as electric underfloor heating, infrared heating or mobile heaters as well as water-based systems, such as hot water-based underfloor heating, radiators or cooling ceilings. - Page 5 Repeater Type: MRCOA-014.201 Function: plug-in wireless repeater for alre wireless systems with Schuko plug adapter Accessories Type: JZ-24 Type: ZBOOA-010.100 Function: electrothermal valve actuator, Function: magnetic attachment set for 230 V~, closed when de-energised simple and secure attachment of multi- channel actuators on metallic base (e.g.

Page 6: Safety Information
This manual provides information about the following: Assembling and connecting the b@home gate Setting up b@home system Basic information about wireless installations and optimum placing of the b@home components Information about assembly and connecting the sensors and actuators to the power supply can be found in the relevant operating instructions. -
Page 7: System Requirements
The b@home gate is the interface between the alre wireless system and your router. This allows both new alre wireless systems needing to be set up and existing systems to be controlled via the Internet or home network. The system is operated using the b@home app (iOS/Android) or b@home portal via a web browser on a notebook/PC. -

13. Router/power supply connection Ensure the Ethernet cable and power supply are connected in the right order (see information below). Only use the wall power supply included in the scope of delivery. If several b@home gates are to be operated in the same network, it is essential that the devices are connected with the network and set up one after another. -

the IP address of the b@home gate. IP address (example): http://192.168.0.100 If you are not able to establish a connection to the b@home gate, check the network connection and the settings of your router (also see Section 6. System requirements). 14.1.2 b@home app The b@home app is available for free from the App Store (iOS 7.0 or higher) or Google Play Store (Android 2.2 or higher). -

Gate 14.6 Setting up rooms If retrofitting in existing alre wireless systems, all receiver channels must be deleted before the actuators are trained. Information about how to do this can be found in the respective actuator operating instructions 14.6.1 Room name The room name entered is also displayed in the b@home app, b@home portal and b@home control unit. -

Page 14: Cancelling Sensor (Wireless Room Temperature Sensor/Transmitter)
14.6.3 Cancelling sensor (wireless room temperature sensor/transmitter) Press the “Cancel sensor” button. Within 15 seconds, the training button on the sensor (001, 002, 003 or 004 function types) now has to be pressed and/or the cancel function (020 function type) has to be started. Alternatively, you can select the desired sensor on the configuration interface of the b@home gate and thereby cancel off. -
Page 15: Training Actuator (Wireless Room Temperature Controller/Receiver)
14.6.4 Training actuator (wireless room temperature controller/receiver) At least one actuator should be trained for each room. Once you have pressed the “Train actuator” button, the training function must be triggered on the actuator within 15 seconds. To do this, briefly press the training button once. If using multi-channel actuators, the corresponding channel must first be selected with the channel selection button. -

14.9 Setting up Internet access In order to operate the b@home system outside your home network, you need to create a new user account or assign an existing account to your b@home gate. To do this, open the configuration interface of the b@home gate (see Section 14.1.1). -

Page 18: Basic Information About Wireless Installations
Wireless components from alre transmit in what is known as the ISM range (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) with a frequency of 868.3 MHz. This range has been allocated for high-frequency devices in industry, science and medicine but also for domestic applications. -

Prefixes to the unit: Designation Unit Factor Is the equivalent of Hertz 1 Hz Kilohertz 10³ 1000 Hz Megahertz 1000 000 Hz Gigahertz 1000 000 000 Hz Terahertz 1000 000 000 000 Hz 16.3 Signal strength / absorption The signal strength is reduced by materials on the transmission path between the transmitter and receiver. This is known as signal attenuation. -
Page 20: Shielding
16.4 Shielding Metallic building parts, furniture, wall coverings etc. shield electromagnetic waves. This produces what are known as radio pockets where direct reception is not possible. Receivers can no longer receive the transmitter signals directly. Receiver Metal cabinet Transmitter Radio pockets caused by a metal cabinet, for example 16.5 Reflexion / reflection Furthermore, radio waves can be reflected by metal objects or surfaces. -
Page 21: Polarisation
In the frequency band used, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% per hour (the equivalent of 36 seconds an hour). In particular cases, e.g. when starting up or installing an extensive b@home system, the duty cycle can be reached by the frequently initiated training processes. -
Page 22: Installation Tips
16.9 Installation tips The following tips should be noted when installing the wireless components: • The transmission path should be as short as possible • The number of times the wireless signal passes through ceilings and walls should be reduced as much as possible •... - Page 23 Transmitter 2 Transmitter 3 Ceiling Timer sensor or Transmitter 1 b@home gate Ceiling Transmitter 4 Receiver Cross-section of house with centrally positioned b@home gate The angle at which the radio waves penetrate an obstacle also affects the range of transmission. In the best-case scenario, the transmitter and receiver should be positioned such that the transmission path does not pass through walls or ceilings at an angle.
