Quick Start Guide

Welcome to RedEye
Thank you for purchasing
a RedEye Pro networked
home automation controller.
RedEye Pro allows you to
control everything from
home theater and lighting
to security systems and
HVAC from any personal
computer equipped with a
web browser, as well as any
iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.
The purpose of this Quick
Start Guide is to help you
get connected to your
RedEye Pro and to give
you a brief overview of its
features. For a thorough
guide to conguration
and use, we recommend
reviewing the RedEye User
Manual, which you can nd
at thinkood.com/support.
To begin, please plug the included power cable into the back
of your RedEye Pro, and then plug the power cable into a wall
outlet or surge suppressor. The halo around the RedEye “R” on
the front panel will glow blue, indicating that your RedEye Pro
has adequate power.

Access via web browser
Your RedEye Pro runs a built-in web server, which allows you to
congure it from any personal computer running a web browser.
To access your RedEye Pro’s home page, you will need a
network connection to it.
The easiest way to establish a network connection is through
one of RedEye Pro’s two Ethernet ports. If you have an Ethernet
network with a DHCP server, you can plug RedEye Pro directly
into the network and then use the IP address assigned by your
DHCP server to access RedEye Pro’s home page.
If you do not have an Ethernet network with DHCP, you can
plug RedEye Pro into an open Ethernet port on your desktop
or laptop computer. In this case, RedEye Pro will self-assign an
IP address of 169.254.254.254. (NOTE: if your computer does
not have an active Internet connection, the RedEye home page
will not display the icons shown below. The homepage will still
function normally, however.)

Setup pages
Once you have connected to the main RedEye home page,
you can access the setup pages to congure your RedEye Pro.
To do so, either click the “Setup” link in the top middle of the
RedEye home page, or add setup/ to the tail end of the URL
and hit the Enter key.
From the Main Setup page you can navigate to other pages to
congure networking, devices, and so forth.
We recommend that you start by conguring your RedEye
Pro’s network settings rst. Once you have RedEye Pro on an
Internet-connected network, you can access our online library of
infrared codes and device congurations.

Network conguration
RedEye Pro includes two 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet jacks, as well
as an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi radio. You can operate both Ethernet and
the Wi-Fi radio simultaneously — a practice called multi-homing
— but under normal use only a single connection is required.
Wi-Fi is a convenient choice if Ethernet cabling is unavailable,
but if you do have the option to use Ethernet, the benets
include greater bandwidth and lower latency.
To access RedEye Pro’s network conguration, click on the
Networking tab. If you will be using the Wi-Fi radio, RedEye Pro
will automatically scan for available networks to join. Select the
network you wish to use and enter the password, if necessary.
To join a hidden network, click on the button labeled “Other”
and provide the network SSID, security settings, and password.
If necessary, you can assign a static IP address or congure
an Internet proxy from the Networking page. Once you have
nished, click on the Save button at the bottom of the screen.

iOS device integration
Controlling your RedEye
Pro from an iPhone, iPod
touch, or iPad is easy. The
RedEye application is a free
download from the iTunes
App Store.
Because all conguration
data is stored on the
RedEye Pro, when
you open the RedEye
application, it will nd
any RedEye units on the
network and synchronize
with them automatically.
Your RedEye Pro does not
require the use of its Wi-Fi
radio to communicate with
iOS devices, as long as it
is on the same network as
your wireless access point.
RedEye Pro’s automatic
synchronization makes it
possible to use multiple iOS controllers at once. For example,
you can have a dedicated iPod touch or iPad controller, and also
pick up your iPhone to make a quick adjustment to the volume
or to switch activities.

Resetting your RedEye Pro
RedEye Pro has a multi-
function reset switch on the
left-hand side of the front
panel.
To reboot RedEye Pro,
press and release the reset
switch.
To reset RedEye Pro’s network settings to their factory
defaults, press and hold the reset button until the blue status
light begins blinking - about 5 seconds.
To reset RedEye Pro’s application software to the factory
version, press and hold the reset button until the blue status
light begins blinking. Continue to hold the reset button until the
blinking stops and the status light glows solid blue.
If your RedEye Pro is completely non-responsive, press and
hold the reset button for 30 seconds to power off the unit.
None of the above reset methods will erase your conguration
data. If you wish to do so, you must perform a Factory Reset.
From within the browser application, go to the setup page
and select Maintenance; Factory Reset is the last link in the
Advanced section. Alternatively, from the RedEye app on an iOS
device, open the Setup tab, select your RedEye Pro room and
tap on the Factory Reset button at the bottom of the screen. In
either case, you must conrm this choice before RedEye erases
your data.

Important Safety Information
Read all safety information and operating instructions
before using RedEye Pro to avoid injury. For detailed
operating instructions, including any updates to the safety
and regulatory information, see the RedEye User Manual
at: thinkood.com/redeye/manual/
Important Safety Information
Handling Your RedEye Pro Device
Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred,
microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign objects into the RedEye
Pro device.
Avoiding Water and Wet Locations
Do not use your RedEye Pro outdoors, or near washbasins or other wet
locations. Take care not to spill any food or liquid on the RedEye Pro
device. In case RedEye Pro gets wet, unplug all cables before cleaning,
and allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt
to dry your RedEye Pro device with an external heat source, such as a
microwave oven or hair dryer.
Repairing Your RedEye Pro
Never attempt to repair or modify the RedEye Pro device yourself. The
RedEye Pro device does not contain any user-serviceable parts. If
your RedEye Pro device has been submerged in water, punctured, or
subjected to a severe fall, return it to ThinkFlood for examination before
using. For service information, go to thinkood.com/support.
Powering Your RedEye Pro
Do not connect or disconnect the RedEye Pro device power cable with
wet hands. Do not use any power cable other than the included power
cable. Plug the RedEye Pro power cable into the power jack on the
back of the device, and then plug it into a wall socket.

The RedEye Pro device may become warm during normal use. Always
allow adequate ventilation around the RedEye Pro device and use care
when handling. Unplug the RedEye Pro device if any of the following
conditions exist:
• The power cable or plug has become frayed or damaged.
• The RedEye device is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive
moisture.
• The RedEye device’s case has become damaged.
• You suspect your RedEye Pro device needs service or repair.
• You want to clean your RedEye Pro device.
Choking Hazards
The RedEye Pro device contains small parts, which may represent a
choking hazard to small children. Keep the RedEye Pro device away
from small children.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
The RedEye Pro device contains radio transmitters and receivers.
When turned on, the RedEye Pro device receives and sends out
radio frequency (RF) energy through its antenna. The radiated output
power of the RedEye Pro device is far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, use wireless equipment in such a
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is
minimized.
Additional Information
For more information from the FCC about exposure to RF energy, see:
www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety.

Important Handling Information
Important Handling Information
Using Connectors and Ports
Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the
port. If the connector and port do not join with reasonable ease, they
probably do not match. Make sure that the connector matches the port
and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the
port.
Keeping Your RedEye Pro Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate the RedEye Pro device in a place where the temperature is
always between 0° and 35° C (32° to 95° F). Store the RedEye Pro
device between -20° and 45° C (-4° to 113° F).
Keeping the Outside of Your RedEye Pro Device Clean
To clean your RedEye Pro, unplug all cables and remove any devices
from the Universal Serial Bus connectors. Then use a soft, slightly
damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Do not
use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents,
alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean your RedEye Pro device.
Disposal and Recycling Information
You must dispose of your RedEye Pro device properly according to
local laws and regulations. Because the RedEye Pro device contains
electronic components, it must be disposed of separately from
household waste. When your RedEye Pro device reaches its end of life,
contact local authorities to learn about disposal and recycling options,
or return it to ThinkFlood. See thinkood.com/support/recycling/ for
more information.
NOTICE: Failure to follow these handling instructions
could result in damage to your RedEye Pro or other
property.

the ThinkFlood representatives
located using the information
provided in the documentation.

procedures.
ThinkFlood may restrict service to

original product or part, ThinkFlood
may require a credit card authorization
as security for the retail price of the
