Tap Behaviour
We recommend setting the
Tap Behaviour
option to
Always Tap
. In this mode the
option to carry out other actions is always displayed at the end of a complete screen
scan, rather than every time you press your switch.
Large Cursor
For high visibility of the scanning cursor we recommend turning on the
Large Cursor
option.
Menu Items
If you only intend to control the HouseMate app with your HouseMate switch then
choose
Menu Items->Top Level
and select
Hide All Items
. In this set up, after you
launch HouseMate, there is no way for the user to return to the home screen or
control other Apps.
Switch Control
If you wish to start the iOS scanning at this point return to
Switch Control
and turn
on the Switch Control switch. iOS will start scanning the screen objects and pressing
your switch should select the currently highlighted object.
There are lots of other options under Switch Control that control the behaviour of the iOS
scanning including Auto Scanning Time, Loops and so on. Take some time exploring these
different options so that the scanning can be optimized to suit the user’s needs and abilities.
When you are finished, return to the HouseMate app for the final step of setting up your
hardware.
Step 5: Pairing the ECU Module.
HouseMate contains a second Bluetooth module, called
“ECU
Module”,
that communicates with the HouseMate App for
transmitting and recording InfraRed signals and other app specific
functions. Pairing this module is the final step in setting up your
hardware.
Make sure your hardware is on and then press
Continue
. A
popup dialog will display the text
Scanning for HouseMate
and
after a moment this should change to
Found HouseMate
and
then
Connected to HouseMate
.
