ElahoAccess Interface

Overview

The ElahoAccess Interface is a wall
mounted device that works in
conjunction with the ElahoAccess
App. The Interface uses Bluetooth
Smart (aka Bluetooth Low Energy or
BLE) wireless technology to provide
access to the Elaho control system.
Use the Interface and the app
together to wirelessly configure
and control your Elaho Presets,
Spaces, Zones, and devices.

Specification

Installation Environment
For indoor, commercial controls use only. Echoflex recommends paying
special attention to the installation environment:

non-condensing humidity.
A wireless operating distance of no more than 9.1 m (30 ft) between
the ElahoAccess Interface and the mobile device running the
ElahoAccess App.
Obstacles reduce the wireless transmission distance. When possible,
avoid transmitting through walls, ceilings, etc.
