1.5.1 Node Selection - Response App

The Response App uses BLE technology and relies on your smartphone’s Bluetooth. It sends a broadcast command (Scan for Node ID) that can be received by scanning nodes in its BLE range. The nodes respond with general information, and the app lists all nodes that respond. The list is sorted by signal strength (RSSI). A node with the highest signal strength is automatically selected.

While using BLE, the app communicates with the nodes by interleaving the ‘Single-Select' and 'Command’ packets.

When using an IR dongle in the Response App, follow the steps shared for the Response IR App.

If you click the ‘Refresh' button on the home page, the list will be updated based on the new signal strength from sensor nodes. The sensor node with the highest signal strength will be selected. This sorting and selection will result in the red dome of the Response Sensor Node staying solid red as long as it is selected.

1.5.1.1 How to Select a Response SN3

Click on SN3 from the home page,
SN3 with the highest signal is auto-selected; you can also search for the node.
Look for an SN3 with the red dome lit, as highlighted, accompanied by luminaire dimming up and down.
To limit nodes, click the ‘All’ button for a dropdown menu.
‘Auto blink’ blinks the luminaire continuously (off by default).

Blink functionality is supported by FW 188 or above.

Click ‘Blink Luminaire’ to confirm your selection (disable auto-blink first).
Click the ‘Refresh’ button if you can’t find the node.
Scroll to see other nearby nodes and choose one to configure.
Click the 'Configuration' icon when you have made the correct selection.

1.5.1.2 How to Select a Response Radio

Click on Configure Response Radio (RR) from the home page. A list with RR addresses will appear. RR with the highest signal is auto-selected.
Enter a valid address to search for a specific node.
The connected luminaire blinks continuously unless you disable auto-blink. When disabled, click ‘Blink Luminaire’ to confirm the selection.

The “Auto Blink” is enabled by default.

Click 'Refresh' to reload the RR list, which may change the selected RR.
To limit nodes, click the ‘All’ button for a dropdown menu.
Click the 'Configuration' tab to start configuring the RR.

1.5.1.3 How to Select a Response Highbay

Click on Highbay from the home page.
The node selection window with a search option will open.
Look for a Sensor with the red dome light and connected luminaire dimming up and down due to auto blink.
By default, ‘Auto blink’ is turned on, which causes the light to dim up/down continuously.
1. Click to turn blinking on/off.
2. When turned off, the red dome stays solid, and the light returns to the previous dim state.
If auto blink is disabled, click ‘Blink luminaire’ to blink once and confirm the correct selection.
Click the ‘Refresh’ button if you can’t find the correct sensor from the list.

You can scroll down the list to see other nearby nodes and select the right one by simply clicking on another address until you have selected the correct one.

Click the 'configuration' tab once you confirm the selected sensor node.

Please note that BLE Scanning is required to select a node. In non-connected sites, it is enabled by default for all nodes. If you cannot select a node in portal-connected projects, refer here.

The red dome stays solid red upon selection. Is that okay?

The App sends a specific message to the sensor node that does not stop until the user selects another node or closes the app. This message is the ‘Single-Select' advertising packet to the node, a continuous beacon. The red dome will settle down only after you select another node or close the app.

HOW TO SELECT A NODE (Response App)
Actions	Response from Node	Response from luminaire(s) (Response SN3)	Response from luminaire (Response Radio)	Response from luminaire (Response Highbay)
Choose “SN3“, “Response Radio,” or “Highbay” from the home screen to begin configuration.	See the response in step 2.	None	None	None
Upon selection of “SN3,” “Response Radio,” or “Highbay”, the app will automatically select one selected sensor type with the highest RSSI out of the list.	The red dome of selected SN3 will turn solid red to acknowledge selection.	None	The luminaire will automatically blink once.	The Red Dome of the Sensor will blink twice.
You can choose “Auto blink” or “Blink luminaire” to visually confirm selection for Response SN3, Radio and Highbay.	Red dome blinks each time the luminaire blinks while in “Auto blink“. Blink once will also cause the red dome to blink once.	Auto blink will continuously blink the luminaire Blink luminaire Blink once	Auto blink will continuously blink the luminaire Blink luminaire Blink once	Auto blink will continuously blink the luminaire Blink luminaire Blink once
If it is not the node you wish to select, click on other node addresses from the list until you have found the intended node. You can also scroll down the list to see as many nodes as found.	The previously selected node will settle its red dome off, and the newly selected node will indicate a solid red dome.	The Luminaire of the new node will continuously blink when the auto-blink is selected.	Luminaire with new Response Radio will blink once.	The Red Dome of the Highbay will blink twice.
If you want to limit the visible number of nodes in the list, click the ‘All’ button and choose the required number.
You can also click on the “Refresh” button to get an updated list of node addresses. This Refresh option will automatically select another Response SN3, RR or Highbay.	Now, the newly connected SN3 will have its red dome indication to confirm selection.	The Luminaire of the new node will continuously blink when the auto-blink is selected.	Luminaire with new Response Radio will blink once.	The Red Dome of the Highbay will blink twice.
Now, you can continue to configure Response Node, Response Radio, or Highbay by sending intended configuration changes.	The red dome would blink each time it received a new command.	Adopts the setting. Sometimes, this is visible (e.g., adopting a new MaxLight level); sometimes, there is no visible response from the luminaire (e.g. adopting a new Dwell Time)	None	None
To exit out of selection, simply close the app or return to the home screen.	The selected node will settle down after it can no longer see the Response App.	None	None	None

1.5.2 Node Selection in Response (IR) App

The Response IR App uses a directional dongle and selects a Response SN3 by just pointing the IR dongle toward the target node. If you point the dongle towards a Response SN3 and send any command, you can see the red dome flash to acknowledge the reception of the IR command from the Response IR App.

Please note the Response IR app doesn’t support Response Radio & HIM 84

HOW TO SELECT A NODE (Response IR App)

Commands

Response from Node

Response from luminaire(s)

Point the dongle at the Response Sensor Node that you wish to change settings for.
Send any commands to the selected node

The Dome of the selected node flashes red once to acknowledge receipt of a command,

Adopts the setting. Sometimes, this is visible (e.g., adopting a new MaxLight level); sometimes, there is no visible response from the luminaire (e.g., adopting a new Dwell Time)

If the Sensor Nodes don’t respond, check that your dongle is

Plugged-in correctly.
