Disconnect the installaon supply voltage before installing the
controller. Remember that any mounng works should be carried
out when the mains voltage is disconnected (switch o the
mains fuse or disconnect the power cord from the mains socket).
The controller should be installed on the DIN rail, protected from third party
access - in the ush box or inside the enclosure of the controlled device.
Remember that metallic elements (wires, housing parts) have a negave
inuence on the range of the device, and consequently the comfort of use. It
is recommended that the device be mounted in a stable and xed posion.
Due to the operang voltage of the device it is necessary that the connectors
of the controller be protected against accidental contacts or short circuits,
which could cause electric shock or damage to the device.
Read the diagram and then proceed to install the controller. Pay parcular
aenon to the designaon of the controller connectors. Start with power
wires - phase L (usually brown) and neutral N (blue). Then, connect the load.
If you only want a local control with a wall switch, connect the wall push-
buon according to the diagram. To control using only your phone or Tablet,
it is not necessary to install the wall push-buon.

you will nd the applicaon in the Play Store. For iOS devices the applicaon
is in the App Store.
By using your mobile phone or tablet, connect it to the device wireless
network. To do this, enter to your smartphone or tablet sengs, then go to
seng of the WiFi network and nd the network name „switchBoxD_DIN-
xxxxxxxxxx” where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the device. Connect
to this network.
Turn on the wBox applicaon. You will see your device on the main screen.
In order to add it to your applicaon account, select “Add device to account”.
If you are the installer and do not want to assign the device to your account,
select “Use only once”.
Test the operaon of the controller by pressing the ON/OFF buon in the
app, paying aenon to the behavior of the connected load and backlight in
the controller. You can also control the load using the buon located on the
controller housing - have in mind that it will toggle both outputs. If you have
connected a wall switch, check its operaon. The default conguraon is
designed to work with bistable buons (rocker switch). In this conguraon,
for monostable buons (push-buons), holding down the push-buon
should turn on the load, releasing will turn o the load. Changing the acon
sengs is described in the further part of the manual.
You can also set the conguraon using the web
browser of your phone / tablet. Aer connecng to the
wireless network of the controller, turn on the browser
and go website www.blebox.eu

Go to the WiFi network sengs (“Sengs” icon in the top right corner of
the screen, “Connecon” secon), where you can connect the device to the
home WiFi network to be able to control the device via it or from anywhere
in the world. To do this, select the network name from the list of available
networks and press “Connect”. If required, enter your WiFi password.
When connecng the device to the home network, the phone / tablet may
disconnect from the device’s network.
Aer reconnecng the phone to the controller’s WiFi network, check the
“WiFi Client status” and “Remote access status” elds. The controller is
equipped with a network connecon supervision system which in case of
problems with connecon to the WiFi or the Internet will report the problem
and its possible causes. If the network is working properly both elds will be
set to “Connected”.
In order to communicate with the device from outside the local WiFi
network, from anywhere in the world, via the wBox applicaon, the device
automacally connects to the BleBox cloud system service by default. The
remote access system is fully encrypted and secure, the data are transmied
by European servers from reputable companies. It is possible to disable
the remote access service - aer clicking the “Congure” buon, toogle
the switch next to the “Remote access” opon. Remember that disabling
“Remote access” will result in no access to the controller from outside the
local network as well as disabling the nocaons and external integraon
systems, therefore we recommend that you leave this opon enabled (default
seng). event log
Enabling the “Event log” opon will cause the device to record events (e.g.
about sent nocaons set in the “Acons” secon) in the BleBox cloud
system. This allows the history of the events to be viewed later also when
the controller is oine.
Aer compleng the WiFi network conguraon, you can disconnect from
the device network and connect the phone / tablet directly to your home
WiFi network. Control from the wBox applicaon will work in the same way
as when the phone / tablet is connected to the device’s network. If as a
user you leave the local network, eg leaving your home or enclosing mobile
data, the wBox applicaon will signal this status as “Remote mode”. In this
case, you will have access to the device data, but for security reasons sengs
opons will not be available.
In the “”Service connecon (AP)”” secon, you can change the name and
give the password of the WiFi network emied by the device. Remember
that changing the network name or password can cause disconnecon with
the device immediately aer clicking the “”Save”” buon, so you should
reconnect to the WiFi network.
It is also possible to completely disable the access point emied by the
device. To do this move the “Access point” slider to the o posion and
conrm the selecon with the “Save” buon.
Aenon! If the controller does not have a stable connecon to the WiFi
network (“WiFi client status”: “Connected”, without any error warnings),
restarng the access point will not be possible - in this situaon, the only
soluon is to reset the controller to the factory sengs. Disabling the
access point is recommended only aer the complete driver conguraon
and making sure that the enre system is working properly.
When the “Power consumpon measuring” opon is set to “Yes”, the main
screen of the controller displays the measurement data. The device measures
the current power of the connected load and also counts energy consumpon
per unit of me. It is possible to set the cost of 1kWh of energy so that the
cost of energy consumed in a given period is immediately visible.
Historical measurement data are available by clicking on the diagram icon in
the upper right corner of the screen. Measurement data are stored only on
the BleBox server and are available only when the “Remote access” opon
is set to “Yes”.
Go to the device sengs (the “Sengs” icon in the top right corner of the
screen). In the “Name and icon” secon you can change the name of the
device under which it is displayed in the wBox applicaon. In the “Device
Sengs” secon it is possible to turn o the LED diode built into the device.
To control some devices, e.g. fans with two-three-stage speed regulaon, it
is necessary to change the operang mode of the outputs, from independent
to push-pull. In push-pull mode, only one output can be turned on at a me.
In other words, turning on a given output turns o the others.
It is also possible to change the order of the logical outputs with respect to
the physical connectors. In addion, for each output, you can independently
determine the state aer a power reset and set a mer.
The “Power consumpon measuring” opon determines whether the
controller should show and archive the energy consumpon of the connected
load.
Aenon! Energy measurement is carried out for the enre device - the
current value of energy consumpon is the sum of energy consumed in
individual, currently switched on circuits.
Also check the selecon in the “State aer restart” opon, which determines
how the controller behaves aer a restart caused by, for example, a power
failure. You can choose whether the load should be on, o, remain as before
the restart (if it was o then it has to connue o), or take the opposite state.
Seng the value in the eld “Switch on for me” will cause an addional
“Switch on for me” buon to be displayed on the control screen. Each press
of the buon counts down the set me aer which the load will be turned
o.

The controller allows you to send control commands to other BleBox
controllers via the WiFi network through the API. Each acon will be
deployed on parcular trigger, eg. like short click.
Two, the simplest, exemplary acons are set at the factory. They allow you to
control a given output using a bistable buon (candlesck switch), connected
to the corresponding input. If, for example, you use a monostable (bell)
buon, it is necessary to modify them.
When adding an acon in the “When” tab select “Short click / Long click/
Trailing edge / Leading edge / Edge” as “Trigger type”. In the “Input” eld,
indicate the input to which the given acon applies.
In the “Execute” tab select one of the opons: “Switch on”, “Switch o”,
“Toogle state”, “Direct”, “Invert” or “Switch on for me” as “Result” when you
want to set the acon for the physical output. Not all opons are available
for certain types of acons.
If you want to control another device from the wBox series select “Control
other device” as “Result”, conrm. Click on the “Select device” icon. The
device will search the network for compable devices and display them in
a list. Choose the device you want to control. If the device is not listed you
must use the general API control method described below or update the
rmware in target device.
Then in the “Call API” eld enter the API command that the driver will call.
The most popular API control commands /s/ for switchBox and shuerBox
are presented below:
Switching on the radiator via switchBox: 1
Switching o the radiator via switchBox: 0
Toogle the output of switchBox: 2
Opening the roller shuer via shuerBox: u
Closing the roller shuer via shuerBox: d
Turning on the light bulb connected to the rst output (O1) of switchBoxD: 0/1
Turning o the light bulb connected to the rst output (O1) of switchBoxD: 0/0
Toogle the second (O2) output in switchBoxD to the opposite: 1/2
If the device was not on the found list or you want to control another device
in the network, select “Call URL” as “Acon type”.
In the “URL” eld, enter the API command preceded by the hp protocol
prex and the IP address of the wBox device which will be controlled. The IP
address can be found in the device sengs. Cauon! All the controllers must
be in the same subnet, usually the subnet of a home router.
The most popular API commands for switchBox and shuerBox are
presented below. It was assumed that the IP address of the device which will
be controlled is: 192.168.1.123
Switching on the radiator via switchBox: hp://192.168.1.123/s/1
Switching o the radiator via switchBox: hp://192.168.1.123/s/0
Opening the roller shuer via shuerBox: hp://192.168.1.123/s/u
Closing the roller shuer via shuerBox: hp://192.168.1.123/s/d
Toogle the output of switchBox: hp://192.168.1.123/s/2
In the “Summary” tab name the acon, check its correctness and conrm the
entry with the “Save” buon.
A detailed descripon of how to control other controllers of the wBox series
is available in the “Extended instrucons for wBox devices”, while all the
technical documentaon API of the wBox controllers is available at: hp://
technical.blebox.eu
The added acon will be displayed on the list. By expanding its details it is
possible to preview the status of its last execuon.
The controller allows you to display a system nocaon on a phone with
the wBox applicaon installed on the parcular trigger, e.g. like short click.
Go to sengs, to the “Time and locaon” secon. In the “Device me” tab,
select your region and locaon from the list, conrming the changes with the
“Save” buon. The device will synchronize its me with the NTP me server
(if the controller is in a WiFi network with Internet access) or will download
the me from the phone / tablet. Since the controller does not have a clock
backup baery, the clock resets itself when the power is disconnected.
Hence, it is recommended that the controller is always connected to a WiFi
network with internet access so that it can automacally synchronize its
clock. This is especially important in controllers that have the funcon of
working with the schedule.
You can specify the locaon of the controller using your smartphone or tablet.
In the “Device locaon” tab click the “Set locaon” buon. The applicaon
will ask whether to share the locaon - allow. The approximate coordinates
of your locaon should appear in the “Coordinates” box. If the “Set locaon”
buon ashes red with “Error” or the “Coordinates” eld has not changed the
value from “Not set” to numerical data there has been a failure in retrieving
the locaon. You should then make sure that the phone / tablet has a GPS
module and that the wBox applicaon has access rights to download the
locaon in the phone sengs. Seng the locaon is especially important in
controllers that have the funcon of working with the schedule, in which the
schedule is based on sunrise and sunset.
