Multiroom-operation: select the SMR for control
The WAP system can operate with various SMR devices controlled through one
BRC! By this multiroom feature, you only need to use one BRC – e.g. while you
walk in your house – to control a number of SMR devices in different rooms.
The menu for selecting the SMR for control you can reach by the Multiroom button
in the main screen. This is the quick way for multiroom selection. The actually
selected SMR is displayed on top position of the SMR device list.
Precondition for any change between SMR devices is their existence in the SMR
device list. When there are already various SMR devices avaiable, touch on the
desired SMR name to activate the connection.
The BRC then releases control of the current SMR device – playback of the current
device continues! – and changes over to control the new selected SMR.
Note: just one BRC can be connected to a SMR station at a time!
Attention: in case the new selected SMR device you aim for control is out of
reception area of your BRC, there will be a warning window.
In case you walk away from your currently
connected SMR, leaving the reception
area of the connection between BRC and
SMR for longer time, the above mentioned
warning window can appear, too.
If you just have one SMR in your setup,
please move the BRC to another position
closer to your SMR device to recover the
control connection.
This warning screen enables you to select
another SMR („√“) or to reconnect to
current SMR („X“) for control.
In case you like to employ further SMR
devices into your device list, read more in chapter 9. BRC root settings.
Note: The allowable distance between BRC and SMR dependas on your local
conditions. In typical home environment it is possible to reach 15 meters distance
with some walls between BRC and SMR. But this is not to be guaranteed due to
very different wall/ceiling materials. Outside the house, the operational distance can
be multiplied.
SMR device name: WAP allows to rename the SMR devices upon demand
individually, e.g. you can input „Livingroom“ for easier identification. In the settings
menu under Maintenance, you will find the “Name“ function to edit the name of the
actually connected SMR device.
