Since the ResponseApp uses bluetooth in your device there can be several nodes in your vicinity to select from. A nearby node with highest signal strength (RSSI) is automatically selected as soon as you click on configure SN3 or Passive Node.

4.3. Organic Response IR App

There is an older version of application which is also available in the apple and play store which uses an additional component (IR Dongle) to communicate with the nodes. This version of the app is no longer under development which means that some of the new features can only be found in the express app.

If you are using this version of the app please head over to detailed version of User Guide to see the navigation steps for the relevant feature configuration.

4.3.1 IR Dongle

The Infrared (IR) Dongle, when plugged into a compatible iOS or Android device, enables users to communicate with Organic Response enabled light fittings by using the Organic Response IR App. The dongle uses 3.5 mm audio jack to convert audio signals from app to IR signals that sensor nodes recognize. The IR dongle is intentionally directional in its operation and must be aimed directly at the sensor node you wish to communicate with.
