SET UP A ROOM NETWORK USING PUSH-TO-PAIR MODE
Push-to-Pair in a room with a single LMRC-611MCC Room Controller
NOTE:
Once you enter PtP mode on the room controller, a three minute timer begins. If the Config button
on any device in the room is pressed, the timer resets and begins the three minute countdown
again. If no Config button is pressed within three minutes, the room controller will exit PtP mode.
1.
Enter PtP mode
on the room controller.
Press the Config button three times (within three
seconds) until the LED on the room controller flashes green.
2.
Enter PtP mode on a sensor or switch.
On one of the sensors or switches, press the Config
button three times. As with the room controller, the LED on the device will flash green.
3.
Pair the devices.
On that same sensor or switch, press the Config button one more time to pair it
to the room controller. The load connected to the room controller will toggle once (if the load is OFF,
it will turn ON; if ON, it will turn OFF) to indicate that pairing was successful. Also, the sensor or
switch’s blinking LED will turn to solid green as another indicator of a successful pairing.
NOTE: Repeat steps 2 and 3
for each of sensor and switch in the room, so that all devices are paired together in the same
network. For each device, the load will toggle during step 3 and its config LED will turn solid green.
4.
Exit PtP mode.
From any device, press the Config button 3 times. After a few seconds, the LED on each Room controller, switch
or sensor currently in PtP mode will flash white and reboot, leaving the default network and migrating to the new network. Then,
the LED on the room controller will flash blue and the pairing process finishes.The default Network ID on all devices will change to
a new number, based on the last four digits of the Mac address on the room controller, and now those devices will communicate
only with each other and not any devices which have not been paired.
NOTE:
It is important to exit PtP mode within the three minute time limit mentioned above. If you do not, none of the device
pairings will be remembered and you have to start the process over from the beginning.
Push-to-Pair in a room with multiple LMRC-611MCCs or LMRC-611-16Ms
In a room with multiple loads, there may be more than one wireless room controller. They can all be paired to the same room network,
allowing the scene switch to set each load to different levels per scene. One of the room controllers will become the primary, determining
the Network ID and channel settings for all the devices in the network.
1.
Enter wireless Push-to-Pair (PtP) mode
on all room controllers.
Press the Config button three times on each LMRC-611 to put them
all in PtP mode. The green LEDs will flash on all room controllers. The
first
room controller placed into PtP will become the
primary
.
2.
Pair the room controllers together.
Press the Config button one more time on each room controller
except
for the primary. This
indicates to the rooms controllers that they will be paired with each other.
The primary room controller’s LED blink rate will double once the first device is paired to it. This faster blink rate is convenient
when multiple room controllers are present on the same network.The LED will turn solid on the other controllers being paired.
NOTE:
If there are more than two room controllers, you have the choice of either placing them all in PtP mode and then pairing
them, or pairing the first two controllers and then repeating steps 1 and 2 for each additional controller, leaving the
primary controller in PtP mode the entire time.
3.
Enter PtP mode on a sensor or switch.
On one of the sensors or switches, press the Config button three times. As with the room
controller, the LED on the device will flash green.
4.
Pair the devices.
On that same sensor or switch, press the Config button one more time to pair it to the room controllers. The
loads connected to the room controllers will toggle once (if the load is OFF, it will turn ON; if ON, it will turn OFF) to indicate that
pairing was successful and its config LED will turn solid green.
NOTE: Repeat steps 3 and 4
for each sensor and switch in the room, so that all devices are paired together in the same
network. For each device, the load will toggle and its config LED will turn solid green during step 4.
5.
Exit PtP mode.
From any device, press the Config button 3 times. After a few seconds, the LED on each Room controller, switch
or sensor currently in PtP mode will flash white and reboot, leaving the default network and migrating to the new network. Then,
the LED on the room controller will flash blue and the pairing process finishes.The default Network ID on all devices will change
to a new number, based on the last four digits of the Mac address on the primary room controller, and now those devices will
communicate only with each other and not any devices which have not been paired.
NOTE:
It is important to exit PtP mode within the three minute time limit mentioned above. If you do not, none of the device
pairings will be remembered and you have to start the process over from the beginning.
Pairing a device to an existing network
If you need to add a device to an existing in-room network, follow the procedure below:
1.
Enter wireless Push-to-Pair (PtP) mode
on the room controller or any currently paired battery device.
Press the Config
button three times (within three seconds).The LED on the room controller and any paired battery devices that are currently awake
will flash green.
2.
Enter PtP mode on the new device.
On the new device, press the Config button three times. As with the room controller, the LED
on the switch will flash green.
3.
Pair the devices.
On the new device, press the Config button one more time to pair it to the room controller. The load connected
to the room controller will toggle once (if the load is OFF, it will turn ON; if ON, it will turn OFF) to indicate that pairing was
successful and its config LED will turn solid green.
4.
Exit PtP mode.
From any device, press the Config button 3 times. After a few seconds, the LED on the LMDM-601 will flash white
and reboot, leaving the default network and migrating to the new network. Then the LED on the room controller will flash blue while
it completes the pairing process. The Network ID of the LMRC-611MCC will change to the value used by the previously paired
devices and the room controller also returns to that value.
