1 - DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Description
1Control SOLO AUTO is an electronic device that allows the operation of a radio-controlled automation, such
as a gate or a garage, using a smartphone.
Control of an automation
SOLO AUTO is able to copy the automation remote control and therefore to control it behaving like the original
remote control.
It is able to copy all fixed-coded remote controls and most rolling-code remote controls, in the 433.0 MHz
to 868.0 MHz frequency bands, using the AM and FM modulations. The old low-frequency remote controls,
called quartz, are not compatible. The complete list of compatible remote controls is available on the 1Control
website or in the Complete Guide.
To control an automation, it is sufficient to copy a single remote control, it is not necessary to copy the remote
controls of all users.
SOLO AUTO communicates with smartphone using the Bluetooth LE 4 protocol. Therefore it is not necessary
to have an Internet connection to open gate and garage.
Operating distance
The max distance between SOLO AUTO and an automation to be controlled varies according to the type of
radio-control used. Normally such distance is between 20 and 40 meters.
The max distance between SOLO AUTO and a smartphone varies according to the model of smartphone used
and is normally about 15-20 meters.
Reinforced concrete walls or metal boxes can weaken or block the SOLO AUTO signal.
Operating conditions
SOLO AUTO must be placed inside the car, protected from the elements.
Security
When using SOLO AUTO for the first time, an 8-digit numeric PIN code must be set. This PIN must be kept
secret. PIN code holders are considered administrators of the device. It is possible to reset the PIN by perfor-
ming a factory reset of SOLO AUTO.
The SOLO AUTO administrator can invite other users to use an automation, without giving them the PIN code,
using the sharing features offered by the app.
The communication between SOLO AUTO and a smartphone is protected by latest-generation security algo-
rithms based on public keys and end-to-end symmetric encryption with ephemeral keys.
The communication between SOLO AUTO and an automation uses the same security algorithms as the copied
remote control. Therefore the degree of security offered in this communication is the same as that of the
remote control.
Power supply
SOLO AUTO comes with 2 LR1 1.5V alkaline batteries already inserted and is already turned on.
The batteries can be replaced when they are flat. SOLO AUTO keeps the copied remote controls and shared
accesses in memory even when it is not energized.
You can check the charge status of the batteries using the app.
Battery life varies according to the number of drives (openings or closures) made:
Daily openings
Average duration
