5. Configuration and work mode
5.1 Adding devices
Information on how to add radio receiver can be found in instruction of that device.
Recently performed action is marked in the app.
As radio receivers can be controlled with different devices with app, recently performed action may not represent the
state of the radio receiver status.
Homescreen widgets are available for devices with Android system.
Widgets allow to control different devices even more easily without the need to run the app. Whidgets can automatically
switch between local network and remote access service. You can control the size of the widget for your convenience -
e.g. when driving into the garage less focus is needed to control the app.
To create a widget, hold your finger on the homescreen of your mobile device. Depending on your Android system version,
add a widget from the popup window or open a list of available applications and go to the widgets tab. Click on the "YOODA
Smart Control" widget and then select the device or scenario to be operated by the widget. You can create several widget for
your favorite devices or scenarios.
To change widget's size press and hold it for a while, than drag its borders.

5.5. Creating and activiting Choreography
Choreography like a scenario allows you to run multiple devices. However, for each device you can set the activation time of
the selected control command (since choreography started). It allows you to get interesting and aesthetic effects (e.g. sequent
lighting of light sources in time intervals). In addition, each device can participate in a sequence of commands repeatedly (e.g.
you can start closing the roller blind and stop it in the selected position after a few seconds).
The choreography element is a command sent to the selected device at a certain time. An example could be opening the roller
blind in the third second.
First step to create
choreography is to add device.
Click the clock icon to set the activation time
of the command from the moment
the choreography starts.
Edited element can be repositioned
to fit in the appropriate order
on the elements list
Select control command
by clicking its name or symbol.

for the scenario.
After creating new scenario it can be
activated manually by clicking on the
‘Play’ button placed next to the name
of the time event.
After choosing devices specify
its actions and save scenario
by clicking ‘Save’.
Manually by running the script,
we can run it immediately or set
a one-time automatic activation
at a specified time (timer mode).
