The Smart Life app allows you to control and automate multiple ABIS smart devices from a single interface. Whether you have a smart clothes airer, smart plugs, or other ABIS smart home devices, adding them to the Smart Life app and creating interconnected routines makes your smart home more efficient. Here’s how to connect and manage multiple devices in the app.
Step 1: Set Up Each ABIS Smart Device in the App
How to Add a New Device:
- Open the Smart Life App: Ensure you’re logged in to the Smart Life app on your smartphone.
- Power on Your ABIS Device: Plug in or power on the ABIS smart device you want to add.
- Enter Pairing Mode: Most ABIS smart devices will need to be in pairing mode to connect to the app. For example, press and hold the sync button on your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer for 5–10 seconds until the light starts blinking rapidly.
- Add a New Device:
- In the Smart Life app, tap the “+” (plus) icon in the upper-right corner of the home screen.
- Select the device category (e.g., “Small Home Appliances” or “Socket (Wi-Fi)” for smart plugs).
- Confirm that the device is in pairing mode, then follow the prompts to connect the device to your Wi-Fi network (ensure it’s a 2.4GHz network).
Repeat the Process for All ABIS Devices:
- Follow the steps above to add each of your ABIS smart devices (e.g., smart airer, smart plug, etc.) to the Smart Life app. Once connected, you’ll see all the devices listed on your app’s home screen.
Step 2: Organise Your Devices into Rooms
Why It’s Important:
If you have multiple smart devices, organising them into rooms within the app makes it easier to control and manage them based on their location.
How to Organise Devices:
- Tap on the Home Icon: On the Smart Life app’s home screen, tap on the “Home” or “Room” section at the top.
- Add a Room: Tap “Add Room” and name it according to the location (e.g., “Living Room,” “Bedroom,” or “Laundry Room”).
- Assign Devices to Rooms: After creating a room, you can assign each device to its respective room. For example, place your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer in the “Laundry Room” and your smart plug in the “Living Room”.
- Save and Organise: Once organised, you can easily control all devices in a specific room with one tap.
Benefits:
- Makes it easier to control multiple devices in the same area.
- Helps you find and manage your smart devices more efficiently.
Step 3: Use Scenes to Automate Multiple Devices
What It Is:
Scenes allow you to control multiple devices with a single action. For example, you can create a “Laundry Routine” scene that turns on your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and a smart plug at the same time, or turn off all devices in the living room with one tap.
How to Create a Scene:
- Tap the “Smart” Tab: At the bottom of the Smart Life app screen, tap the “Smart” tab.
- Create a New Scene: Tap the “+” (plus) icon in the upper-right corner and choose “Add Scene”.
- Set a Condition: Choose the trigger that will activate the scene. This could be a time-based condition (e.g., turn on devices at 7:00 AM) or device-based (e.g., when one device turns on, another follows).
- Add Actions for Multiple Devices:
- Tap “Add Task” and select the actions for your connected devices.
- For example, you can turn on the ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and turn off a smart plug in one scene.
- Save the Scene: Give your scene a name, such as “Morning Routine” or “Laundry Time,” and save it.
Benefits:
- Streamlines control by letting you activate multiple devices with a single tap or automatically based on conditions.
- Improves the efficiency of your smart home by automating common tasks.
Step 4: Automate Devices with Smart Scenes Based on Conditions
What It Is:
You can use Smart Automation to link devices together and trigger actions based on certain conditions like time, weather, or location. For example, you can automate your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer to turn off when you leave home or based on weather changes.
How to Set Up Automation:
- Tap “Smart” in the App: Go to the “Smart” section of the Smart Life app.
- Tap “Add Automation”: This option allows you to set conditions that trigger actions.
- Choose a Trigger: Select a condition, such as:
- Schedule: Set a specific time to trigger multiple devices.
- Weather: Trigger actions based on weather conditions (e.g., high humidity turns on the airer).
- Location (Geo-Fencing): Use location-based automation to turn devices on or off when you enter or leave home.
- Set Device Actions: Add actions for your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and any other connected devices.
- For example, if the weather is rainy, you can automate the airer to turn on for indoor drying.
- Save and Enable: Once everything is set, save the automation and it will run whenever the trigger condition is met.
Benefits:
- Automates daily tasks like turning off all devices when you leave the house.
- Enhances smart home convenience by automating your ABIS devices based on conditions.
Step 5: Control Devices with Voice Assistants
What It Is:
You can control multiple ABIS devices through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant with voice commands. Once connected, you can say things like, “Alexa, turn on the clothes airer and living room lights.”
How to Set Up Voice Control:
- Link Smart Life to Alexa/Google:
- For Alexa, enable the Smart Life skill in the Alexa app.
- For Google Assistant, link your Smart Life account through the Google Home app.
- Discover Devices: After linking, ask Alexa or Google to “discover devices”, and they will find all your ABIS smart devices.
- Group Devices: Create groups for your devices in the voice assistant app (e.g., “Laundry Room”) so you can control multiple devices with one command.
- Control Multiple Devices with One Command: Use voice commands like:
- “Alexa, turn on all devices in the laundry room.”
- “Hey Google, turn off the clothes airer and lights.”
Benefits:
- Provides hands-free control over multiple devices.
- Simplifies operation by grouping devices and controlling them together with one command.
