Registration and Signing In

When you first open the app, you’ll be presented with the home screen. Before you can administer
and control the devices, you will need to register an account on the system. This user account will be
the main admin account for the system.

1) If you’re a new user, tap the Register

button to begin the sign-up process.

Existing users can just login by tapping

the Login button. In this case, you can
skip this section!

Note: The screenshots here are from

the iOS version of the mobile
application. The Android version may
be different, so please bear this in
mind.

2) On this next screen, enter the email

address you wish to use for the account
admin. Then hit Next Step.

At this point, you will be sent a

verification code to your email address,
which you need to enter on the next
screen.

3
 3) Enter the verification code that you just
received in your email inbox, then hit
Done.

Note: There is a timeout of 60 seconds

to enter this verification code. The
email is sent almost immediately, and
you should receive it well within that
timeframe. If you haven’t received it,
please check your spam folder.

4) Once verified, you can enter the

password you wish to use for the
account.

Tap Done and you will now be

registered and logged in. You will now
be taken back to the home screen,
where you can start to add your
devices to the system.

Note: Tap the ‘eye’ icon to show the

password as you type, to make sure it’s
entered correctly.

4
Adding Additional Users

Additional users can be added to the account so that they can control devices from their mobile
phones.

Note: Before they can be added they need to sign up for an account on their mobile phones first.
Please refer to the Registration and Signing In section for the sign-up process.

1) Tap Mine on the main menu along the

bottom to head to your user and
gateway settings.

2) Select Share Management, which will

take you the gateway selection screen
where you can add your additional
users to the gateway.
```````

3) This screen may have more than one

gateway, depending on your setup, but
in most cases, there will only be the
one.

Select the gateway that you want to

add the user to.

Note: Any smart cameras that you have

set up will also appear here, allowing
you fine control over who can access
those devices.

5
 4) On this next screen, tap the + icon on
the top right to add a new user.

This screen also has a list of any users

that you have added previously, and
you can administer those here.

5) Enter the email address of the user you

wish to add and hit Done.

Note: As mentioned above, the user

must have created an account on the
system prior to this, otherwise it will
complain that they can’t be found. So,
please make sure this is done first!

6) The new user has now been added and

you can fine tune what they have
access to in the Share List screen
above.

Adding the Gateway

Assuming you have the Logika Gateway plugged in and working, with the network cable plugged into
your router, you are now ready to add this first device to the account.

Note: You will need the Gateway ID and password to add it to the system. The Gateway ID can be
found on the back of the gateway device, together with a QR code.

1) On the home screen, you will see a

notification along the bottom which
states Unbound gateway. This means
that we currently have no gateway
added, so we need to add one!

To do this, tap the Go Bind button,

which will start the adding process.

Note: If the Unbound Gateway is not

displayed here, you can add/bind the
Gateway by tapping the Mine icon,
then Gateway Centre on the next
screen, followed by Gateway List. You
can then press the + icon on the top
right to start the adding process.

2) You can either enter the Gateway ID by

hand or tap the [-] button on the right
to scan the barcode using your mobile’s
camera. In this case, simply point the
camera at the barcode and it should
scan it in.

3) The password is the last 6 characters of

the gateway ID. This is the default and
can be changed later.

4) Tap Bind to add the gateway. Once

done, you will go to the Gateway
Centre screen.

7
 5) On this screen you can administer the
gateway – Rename and update the
password, etc.

Tap Gateway Setting to update these

details.

6) In the Gateway Settings screen, you

can change the name of your gateway,
update its password and adjust your
time zone settings.

Set your preferences and tap the back

button to cycle through the screens
back to the home screen.

7) The gateway has now been added and

the system is ready to accept the
addition of your other smart devices.

8
Adding Devices

New devices can be added easily from the Devices section. The process for adding each device is
very similar.

Note: It’s best to start with devices that are closest to the gateway and work away from it as you go
along. This ensures that the mesh network keeps expanding outwards away from the gateway,
bringing any out-of-range devices within reach of the signal. Some devices may automatically appear
and get added as you go along. This is normal and there’s no need to manually add these devices.
Just continue adding any devices that have not been automatically detected.

Below, we’ll go through the basics of adding a device.

1) Select Devices from the main menu

along the bottom to take you to the list
of devices.

2) To add a new device, tap the + icon on

the top right.

9
 3) On the next Add Device screen, you can
select the category of the device which
will list all the devices in that category.

Note: Some devices have a QR code on

the back or in their manual. In this case,
simply tap the Scan to Add icon to scan
the code in to add the device.

4) In this example, we’re in the Switch

category, which lists all wall light
switches and scene switches.

For wall switches, you’ll mainly be

interested in One-way, Two-way or
Three-way switch types. These are the
main ones we use.

10
 5) Once the device has been selected,
you’ll be presented with a screen which
walks you through the adding process.

Hit Start Adding to add the selected

device.

6) You will now be asked to press the SET

switch on the device 4 times to put it
into discovery mode.

Once the device has been found by the

gateway, the device light will remain
solid for 2 seconds signifying successful
connection. You will then return to the
Device List screen.

Note: Failure to connect can mean that

the device may have been connected to
another network previously. Please
refer to the Troubleshooting section
for information on how to perform a
network reset.

You can also tap each added device in the device list to rename them to your choosing and add them
to an Area, which can be a specific room (e.g. Lounge, Dining Room, etc). Areas are customisable, so
you can create as many as you need.

11
Device Control

Once the device has been added, it can be selected from the Devices screen allowing you to control
its functions and edit its settings (e.g. The device name and the Area it is grouped under).

The example below shows the Dining Lamp device, which is selected from the list on the Devices
screen.

1) This screen is the device’s control

centre. Each will have its own screen
and this one shows the Smart Plug
Adaptor which is controlling the dining
lamp.

2) Here, you can turn the lamp on and off.

You can also monitor its power usage.

3) Tap the ··· icon on the top right to view

the device options.

4) On the Device Options screen, you can

perform various tasks like renaming the
device and adding it to an Area.

5) One useful function here is Find Device.

This is used to identify the physical
device that this links to.

For instance, you may have several

Smart PIRs around your room and need
to identify which PIR device in the app
controls which physical PIR.

By selecting this function, the device’s

light will start to flash to make your life
easier to locate the correct one. Useful
for troubleshooting.

12
Areas and Categories

Areas and Categories can be used to filter the device list, allowing you quicker access, especially if
you have a lot of devices in the main list.

Categories
This corresponds with the same category during the device add process. For instance, if you just
want to see the switches in the house, select Switch.

Areas
These are customisable areas that you can set up, grouping devices by room, for instance. An
example would be a Lounge area for all devices within the main lounge.

Categories List Areas List

To modify or add new Areas, tap the icon in the top left (represented by four small squares), which
will take you to the Area Management screen.

13
 1) In the Area Management screen, you
can select an Area name to list any
devices in that Area and optionally
allowing you to remove the device too.

2) Tapping the ··· on the right of the Area

name will allow you to rename or
delete the Area (Devices will not be
deleted; just removed from that Area).

3) To add a new Area, tap the + icon on

the top right.

4) You can now enter the name of the

Area and hit Confirm. It has now been
created.

Note: To add a device to an Area, go

back to the Device List, select the
device and the Edit icon on the top
right. Here, you can edit the device
name and add it to your desired Area.

14
Scene Management

Scenes are a collection of devices that can be triggered when you select the scene. The devices
contained within can either be activated all at once or have a delay time applied. For instance, you
could set up an Evening scene, which, when activated, would immediately draw the curtains and
switch on the lights after 2 seconds, giving time for the curtains to almost close first. This is, of
course, totally customisable.

1) Tap the Smart button on the main

menu on the bottom to take you to the
Scene and Housekeeper sections.

We’re interested in the Scene section,

so select that at the top, if not already
selected. Scenes that have already been
set up will appear here.

2) To add a new Scene, tap the + icon on

the top right.

3) You can now pick from a selection of

pre-set icons to use for the Scene and
add a descriptive name you wish to
use.

4) Hit Done to go to the next screen,

where you can add the devices.

15
 5) On this next Edit Scene screen, you can
tap Add Task to take you to the device
list, where you can add your first
device.

You can add multiple devices here in

turn, so you will be brought back here
once the each device has been added.

6) Select the device you wish to add to the

Scene.

7) You will then be asked what you want

this device to do. In the case of a
switch, the options will be On, Off and
Switch Over (Toggle).

8) Once selected, you will be given the

option of adding a delay to perform this
task. The delay will be in minutes and
seconds.

Select a delay or leave off and hit Done.

You will now be taken back to the Edit

Scene screen, where you can add more
devices and/or save the Scene by
hitting Save.

To activate a Scene, simply tap its icon. The Scene task will then execute. Long pressing the icon will
allow you to edit or delete that Scene.

16
Housekeeper Tasks

Housekeeper Tasks are tasks that will be performed automatically if certain conditions are met.
These conditions can simply be a certain time of day or a linked task that waits for state changes in a
device (or multiple devices) before triggering other devices or Scenes.

For instance, you can set up a Housekeeping Task to monitor a Smart PIR Motion Detector, which in
turn will trigger lighting to turn on and off. Similarly, an example of a timed task would be one which
waits until say 8pm and turn the lights on automatically.

Creating Housekeeper Tasks is relatively easy. Select Smart on the main menu along the bottom, like
you did for the Scene Management and select the Housekeeper tab on the top.

Here you will see a list of previously created Housekeeper Tasks with an enable button on the side,
which allows you to enable or disable tasks.

Tapping the + icon on the top right will give you two options:

• Timed Task: These are tasks that you want to perform at certain times of the day and
on specific days.

• Linkage Task: These are tasks that are performed if certain conditions are met on the
specified devices. Note that more the one device can be added as a condition to give you
greater freedom on how the tasks are triggered. For instance, you may have more than
one Smart PIR Motion Detector in a large space and, if any of them are triggered after a
certain time of day, the lights would activate automatically for a defined period. As you
can see, quite complex behaviours can be set up!

17
Timed Task

For a Timed Task, select Timed Task. You can now set the days and times you want this task to start.

1) Name the task here and tap the +

button next to When to select the days
you want this task to activate and the
time on those days.

2) Once the days/time has been set, tap

the + button next to Execute below
tasks.

Here, you can select the devices you

wish to activate and/or any Scene that
you want to activate.

Multiple devices and Scenes can be

added here, with any extra delay added
to each one, if you need.

Once done, tap the Save button.

The Timed Task is now active and will

activate at the specified time.

18
Linkage Task

In the Housekeeper section, tap the + button and select Linkage Task. This is slightly more complex
than a Timed Task but is easy enough to set up.

1) Name the task here and tap the +

button next to Meet any of the
conditions to select the device(s) whose
conditions must be met before the task
is activated.

2) On this Select Device screen, you can

select the device to add as a condition.

For instance, you could select the

Family Room PIR device to check.

19
 3) For a PIR, you would select Passing-by
under arming. This state happens when
movement is momentarily detected by
the PIR, which polls for movement
detection every 5 seconds.

4) You will now be taken back to the

Linkage Task screen where you can
start to add the devices to Execute
below tasks section. Hit the + button
here to add your first device or Scene.

20
 5) Once you have selected your device or
Scene to be activated, you can,
optionally, set a delay for the action to
happen (in minutes and seconds).

6) Tap Finish.

7) You will now be taken back to the

Linkage Task screen again, where you
can add further devices, if you wish.

8) On the bottom of the screen, there is

also a Force Factor section. This allows
you to set a further condition before
this Linkage Task will execute.

For instance, you may only want the

PIRs to active the Relax mode after a
certain time of day. You can set this,
and more, here.

If you wish to do this, select Force

Factor.

21
 9) On this Force Factor screen, you will
have the option of setting three types
of conditions:

Timed: Only perform this Linkage Task

between certain times.

Device: Only perform this Linkage Task

if the specified device state is active.

Scene: Only perform this Linkage Task

if the specified Scene is active (or
inactive).

In the example below, we have

selected Force Time Factor to only
allow the Linkage Task to work during
weekday evenings.

10) Select the days and time period when

you want to allow this Linkage Task to
work.

11) Hit Confirm to go back to the Linkage

Task screen.

22
 12) This is the completed Linkage Task.

What this is doing is that this task will

only be performed between the hours
of 6pm and 10pm on weekdays (the
Force Factor).

During this time, if the Smart PIR

Motion Detector detects any
movement in this room the Relax scene
will be activated.

This Relax scene would have been set

up by you previously. It could simply be
activating dimmed lighting and turning
on soothing music!

These Housekeeping Tasks are where the real power lies. You can set up complex scenarios and
leave the Logika Smart system to do all the thinking for you, taking care of your energy usage and
general comfort. So, have fun with it!

23
Troubleshooting

The app appears to hang after you enter your password during the registration process.
On rare occasions, the server may not respond in time with a successful registration message. In
most cases, you have actually registered, just that the server is taking a while to respond.

You can quit out of the app at this time and restart it. When you open the app again, you may find
that you are already logged in. If not, try logging in with this account. If that still doesn’t work, you
will have to go through the registration process again!

The app cannot connect to the Gateway, or it doesn’t accept the Gateway password.
The default Gateway password is the last 6 characters of the Gateway ID. If this is not accepted, or
you have issues in getting connected, you may need to perform a Factory Reset of the Gateway by
holding the SET key on the back for 10 seconds. The System indicator will go out, signifying the reset
was successful. You should now be able to add the Gateway to the app with the default password.

You are unable to add a device to the app.

Make sure the device is within range of the Gateway before adding. If you are still having issues, the
device may have been registered to another network previously, so you need to clear this setting
prior to adding the device again.

Each device is different, but in most cases, you just hold the SET key for 6 seconds to reset its
network setting. The indicator light on the device will flash 4 times, signifying a successful reset.

Devices, such as the Smart Panic Button require you to press the SET/Multi-function switch 8 times
quickly to perform the same network reset, so it’s best to refer to the device manual on how to
perform this reset, in case the above two methods don’t work.
