Install and operation overview: Sync Bluetooth Digital Clocks & Timers
OneVue Sync Bluetooth devices are designed to provide ease of installation, requiring no end user configuration, simply
take-out-of the box and install. The only operation dependency is its connection to an available Sync Bluetooth mesh
network.
About Sync Bluetooth Devices
• Each device is equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Wireless Technology radio component that allows it to
establish a wireless connection to a Sync Bluetooth mesh network.
• Each device is identified by a unique Device ID, allowing it to receive its unique settings managed in OneVue, and
authenticate and connect to the mesh network.
• A Bridge is the only system device that connects to an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. Upon its network connection, it
connects to a NTP Server to receive UTC time and checks-in to OneVue. During each check-in, it sends device data
received from its last connection to the mesh network and downloads any pending setting updates. Pending setting
updates are then transmitted to devices during its next connection to the mesh network.
Add a Clock Mode
Upon first-power up at its installation location, a clock and repeater enters Add a Clock mode as described below.
1.
Once powered on at its installation location, the device continuously searches for an available Sync Bluetooth
mesh network.
It may take up to 15 minutes for a device to authenticate and connect to an available mesh network. We
recommend to continue installing additional devices, while other devices establish their connection to the mesh
network.
2.
Once a device has authenticated with the mesh network, it establishes a communication path either to another
Sync Bluetooth device or directly to a Bridge available within the mesh network.
3.
Once connected, the device receives the New Clock Time Zone and sets its time. For an analog clock, its hands
perform one full revolution past 12:00 and then sets its time.
• During its first connection to the mesh network, its unique Device ID is added to the mesh network.
• If a Bridge is in 8-hour deployment mode, within 30 minutes of receiving a new Device ID, the Bridge connects to
your facility's network and sends the new Device ID to OneVue. The new device is added to your OneVue
account.
• If a Bridge is not in 8-hour deployment mode, the new device is added to your OneVue account within 24 hours to
7 days.
4.
When the Bridge connects to OneVue, the new device default settings are downloaded to the Bridge.
5.
Upon its next connection to the mesh network, the Bridge automatically sends updated device settings received for
each device based on their Device ID.
