Environment Control  

There are two types of environment controller included in the Grid Pad Pro devices: 

Infrared 

Infrared environment control can be trained to work with most household devices that have an infrared remote control. This 
typically includes TVs and video systems, music centres and much more. 

To create a cell in The Gird 2 that can control an infrared accessory, we advise you refer to the software manual. However, to make 
a simple cell to complete this action: 

1.

 

Enter ‘Edit mode’ then double click on the cell you want to control the 
signal 

2.

 

Click ‘Add command’ then choose  
‘GEWA Press Button’ 

3.

 

Click ‘Learn button’ and follow the on-screen instructions. 

4.

 

Click OK and exit ‘Edit mode’. Your cell should 
transmit the infrared signal. 

See the diagram above for the location of the infrared learning window on the Grid Pad 
devices. 

 

 

 

Safety Note

 

This unit is designed for environment control.   
For safety critical functions, such as to call for help or to open the door to leave the building in an emergency, or for any other 
function on which your safety depends, you should consider the use of a simple environment control transmitter, such as the 
GEWA Prog, or a single action controller as a backup.
