Properties
a) Switching functions
Besides directly switching on and off the output using the button on the device or via
smartphone, the device offers three additional switching functions:
• 20 on and 20 off times, days of the week can be combined
• 1 timer function for switching on or off after a certain pre-set time
• 1 random function for the simulation of presence, days of the week can be com-
bined.
All switching times can be set up easily using the app on the Android smart-
phone and can be sent to the radio controlled socket. These switching times
are stored in the device and will be saved even during a power failure, e.g.
when the device was disconnected from the power supply.
b) Switching times
There are up to 20 switch-on and 20 switch-off times available which can be set to the
precise minute. Each of these switching times can be assigned to differently combined
weekdays (Example: Tuesday + Thursday + Friday: switching on at 06.30 pm corre-
sponds to one of the 20 switch-on times).
The switching times are independent of each other, this means that it is pos-
sible to set a off time without setting an associated on time. Thus, it is pos-
sible to switch off a consumer at e.g., 10.00 pm daily, no matter when the
consumer was switched on (e.g., when manually switching it on using the
button on the device).
c) Timer function
The device offers a timer function which switches on or off after a set period from the
time of activation. This is useful if you want to e.g., switch off a night light.
When the timer is activated, none of the switching times are executed and the ran-
dom function is deactivated automatically. Nevertheless, manually switching on/off a
consumer is possible using the button on the radio controlled socket or via the app.
When the timer has expired, the switching command is executed (which means it is
switched on or off) and all 20 on and all 20 off times are activated. When you want the
random function to be executed after the expiration of the timer, it has to be activated
manually.
d) Random function
The random function simulates a presence, e.g. during holidays. With the random
function it is possible to set a start time as well as a duration during which the radio
controlled socket switches on and off at random intervals. The random function, like
the switching times, allows to combine weekdays arbitrarily with each other.
With the random function activated, none of the switching times are ex-
ecuted and a possibly started timer is deactivated. Nevertheless, manually
switching on/off is possible using the button on the radio controlled socket
or via the app. The random function has to be ended actively using the app.
With the random function, it is switched on randomly after up to 20 minutes from the
pre-set start time. From that moment on, the output remains switched on for 15 to 50
minutes each time and will then be switched off for 5 to 20 minutes each time. This
procedure is repeated until the end of the pre-set duration.
In order to avoid that, it is switched off exactly at the off time, switching on is no longer
executed up to 15 minutes before the off time.
The random function will seem even more inconspicuous when you set e.g.,06.52 pm
until 11.11 pm instead of 07.00 pm until 11.00 pm.
When the random function is sent at a time when it should be active already, it will
only start at the next start time. Example: the random function is set as in the example
above daily from 07.00 pm until 11.00 pm, but it not sent until 08.00 pm: then the random
function will only start at 07.00 pm the next day.
The period of the random function may change when the time was reset in the mean-
time. Example: the random function is set from 07.00 pm until 11.00 pm and the time is
set 10 minutes forward; the random function will be active until 11.10 pm.
e) More information
• Only one of the three switching functions can be active - which means that either
the 40 common switching times, the timer or the random function is active.
Activating the timer or the random function blocks the 40 switching times. The
switching times will not be executed. Of course it is still possible to set up a new
switching time. However, the switching times will only be executed after the deacti-
vation of the timer or the random function.
• The current time and the current weekday will not be saved in the case of a power
failure. When connecting the device to the wall socket, it always displays Monday
12.00 o'clock. This is why the switching times are not executed correctly after a
power failure. Since the time is set automatically when the device is connected to
the smart phone, it is recommendable to do so after a power failure. It is also neces-
sary to establish a connection between the device and the app after connecting the
radio controlled socket to another wall socket than before.
• Due to irregularities of the internal clock, the time of the radio controlled socket may
deviate from the actual time. Therefore it is recommendable to connect the device
to the app from time to time which automatically sets the clock of the device accord-
ing to the time of your smartphone. Please note that the clock of your smartphone
must be set correctly (e.g., changeover summer/winter time).
f) Operating button
The button on the device serves the purpose of directly switching on and off the con-
nected consumer, even when the switching programs are running. In order to avoid
the permanent switching on and off of the output, the output has to be switched off
for at least a second until it can be switched on again. By contrast, it is possible to
switch the output off directly after switching it on (when the output was switched on
accidentally).
The button also serves the purpose of restoring the device to its original
condition (Reset). This resets the security code and erases the paring list as
well as all switching functions (see section "Reset").
g) Status LED (red)
• The red status LED on the front side of the radio controlled socket primarily indi-
cates the status of the switching output. When the output is switched on, the red
status LED is illuminated. When the output is switched off, the LED is off and shortly
flashes every minute (standby screen).
• The Bluetooth module is visible for 2 minutes when the radio controlled socket is
connected to the wall socket. This only applies when the security code has not been
changed yet (see i). After that, the device can then be connected to a smartphone
for the first time ("Pairing"). While the module is visible, the red status LED flashes
at second intervals and does not indicate the status of the relay output at that time.
After the 2 minutes have passed, the radio controlled socket "switches to invisible".
A smartphone that has been paired before, can be connected to the radio controlled
socket any time and not only during the described 2 minutes.
Every other smartphone (not paired yet) can only detect the radio controlled socket
when the device is visible. Otherwise, the smartphone detects that there is a device,
but it will not be able to identify which device it is ("only visible for paired devices").
• The built-in relay for switching the output has a temperature control. In case of high
temperature, the red LED flashes rapidly (at 200 ms intervals) and it is no longer pos-
sible to switch on the consumer for security reasons.
• Very rapid flashing of the LED signals the reset to factory settings (see section "Re-
set").
h) Bluetooth LED (green)
The green LED shows the Bluetooth connection. When the device is connected to an
Android smartphone via Bluetooth, the green LED flashes. Otherwise the LED is off.
i) Security code
Each radio controlled socket "BS-21" has a four-digit security code, which is sent by
the app with each command. The radio controlled socket only responds to commands
given by smartphones that send this four-digit code. The factory setting for the code
is "1234". The client can (and should) change this code after the test phase using the
app.
Only when the code in the device is still "1234", the device is visible for 2 minutes every
time it is connected and can be paired for the first time ("Pairing").
When the code has been changed, the device is no longer visible when inserted and
can only be switched to visible by selecting "Keep visible" on an Android smartphone
that has been paired previously. Thus, it is not possible that a stranger can connect his
smartphone to your radio controlled socket. It is recommendable to change the code
immediately after the test phase.
In order to train another Android smartphone, you should pass on this code and
switches the radio controlled socket back to visible via the app. Now, another smart-
phone can "find" the corresponding radio controlled socket and can be connected to
it by entering the code.
In case you have forgotten the security code, you can simply assign a new
code using a paired smartphone. Each paired smartphone is authorized to
change the device code. If need be, there is the additional possibility to reset
the device code to factory settings, i.e. to "1234", by means of a Factory
Reset (see j).
