SET-UP THE OCTAN REMOTE 

 
Important: 

To  enjoy  fully  the  Octan  Remote,  we  advise  you  to  use  “Scene”  instead  of  Direct 
Associations. VeraEdge currently support 2 types of Scene: Central Scene and Scene 
Activation.  
Central Scene mode is the default mode of the Octan Remote 
If  you  want  to  pass  to  Scene  Activation  mode,  you  need  to  modify  Configuration 
Parameter #3  
 

A.

 

Central Scene Mode (Default Mode)  

 
In  this  mode,  the  VeraEdge  can  currently  understand  4  scenes  from  the  Octan 
Remote, 1 for a Single Press on each button. The VeraEdge currently ignores double 
Press, Long Press and Release. 
 
There are 2 ways to set up scene in this mode 

-

 

You already have scene and you want to trig them with the Octan Remote  

-

 

You want to trig something else than a scene  

 
Go to “Devices” menu and choose the Octan Remote, and then click on “Select scenes 
for device buttons” in the menu.
