Using the Sure-Fi App
Connecting:
The Sure-Fi App uses the Bluetooth on the user’s phone to connect to the Analog Bridge’s onboard Bluetooth
interface. To use the App, be sure that the unit is powered ON, then open the App, then scan the QR code
that is on the unit next the ‘TEST’ button (see Figure 6). The Status will show ‘Connecting’, then after a pause
it will say “Hold Test button on the Bridge for 5 seconds”. If the connection is successful, the status will show
‘Status: Connected’ and all the features of the App will be available for use.
Firmware Updating
Firmware updates must be completed on both units when updating the firmware. The Bridge pair may
operate erratically or be non-functional until both sides have been updated to a new firmware version. If
updating firmware on one side, plan to immediately go to the other side and perform the same firmware
update.
A data connection must be available on the device (phone) that the Sure-Fi App is running on. Be sure that the
APP remains connected to the Bridge unit during the update process which usually takes a couple minutes to
complete. After connecting to the Bridge unit with the App, select ‘Update Firmware’ from the menu. The
‘Update Firmware’ screen will show the current firmware versions and show if a newer released version is
available. Select ‘Start Firmware Update” to begin the updating process. A notification will be given when the
update is complete.
Setting the System Heartbeat time
The system Heartbeat is the time interval when the system will automatically perform a system status check if
there have not been radio communications between the units during that time. The Heartbeat timer is reset
each time any successful transmission occurs between units during regular usage. The Heartbeat system
status check verifies communication between units and that all output states correspond correctly with the
given inputs. If a unit does not receive the Heartbeat, it will continue to attempt communications and it will
keep all outputs set at their current state unless any of the outputs have been set for fail-safe values using the
App. In that case, the unit will set the output values as configured when the set time interval is reached. The
Heartbeat time interval and the number of Heartbeats that can be missed are configurable with the App.
Setting a Relay default state, timeout, and setting an Alert Relay
This feature is defaulted from the factory as disabled. With Relay default state disabled, the relays will remain
in their current state during any time that communications with the paired unit are interrupted. The relays
can be set to default as activated or deactivated after a set time interval has passed if communication with the
paired unit is interrupted. The time interval is based on multiples of the Heartbeat time. When the time
interval is reached, the relay(s) will go to the selected default state (activated or deactivated) as configured in
the App and will remain in that state until regular system activity returns. This feature provides a way to
define the relay default state if communications between units is interrupted for a period of one or more
Heartbeat time intervals and allows for a way to have a relay to be set as an ‘Alert’Relay to indicate RF
communications interruption.
