How to Control Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer Remotely Using the Smart Life App
Once your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer is connected to the Smart Life app, you can easily control it from anywhere, at any time. This guide will show you how to make the most of the app’s features, from turning the airer on and off to setting schedules and more.
Step 1: Open the Smart Life App
- Ensure that your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer is already connected to the Smart Life app.
- If you haven’t set it up yet, refer to the pairing guide to get your airer connected.
- Open the Smart Life app on your smartphone.
- On the main screen, you should see your Smart Clothes Airer listed. If you gave it a custom name (e.g., “Laundry Airer”), locate it under that name.
Step 2: Access the Airer’s Control Panel
- Tap on the airer’s name or icon to open its control panel.
- This will take you to the device control screen where you can manage all the functions of your smart airer remotely.
Step 3: Turn the Airer On or Off
- On the control screen, you’ll see a Power Button (usually a large icon in the middle of the screen).
- Tap the power button to turn the airer on or off from anywhere, whether you’re at home or away.
Step 4: Set a Timer or Schedule for Drying
One of the most useful features of the Smart Life app is the ability to schedule your airer to operate at specific times.
- Set a Timer:
- On the control screen, find the Timer option.
- Set a countdown for how long you want the airer to run before it turns off automatically.
- This is ideal if you want the airer to turn off after a set time without having to manually control it.
- Set a Schedule:
- Tap on the Schedule option in the app.
- Create a new schedule by selecting the days and times you want the airer to automatically start or stop.
- This is perfect for automating your airer to run during off-peak electricity hours or when you know laundry will be ready to dry.
Step 5: Monitor Status and Notifications
- The app allows you to monitor the status of your airer at any time. You can check if it’s currently running or turned off right from the control screen.
- Set up notifications for when the airer turns on or off, or when specific schedules are activated. This keeps you informed even if you’re not at home.
Step 6: Share Control with Other Users
If you want to allow family members or housemates to control the airer from their own smartphones:
- Go to the airer’s settings in the app (usually found by tapping on the three dots or “…” in the upper right corner of the control screen).
- Tap on Share Device.
- Enter the email or phone number associated with their Smart Life app account to give them control access.
- They’ll receive an invitation to control the device from their app, allowing them to turn it on/off or set schedules.
Step 7: Control Your Airer from Anywhere
Now that your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer is connected to the Smart Life app, you can control it remotely as long as your phone has an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data). Whether you’re at work, on the road, or anywhere else, you can:
- Turn the airer on/off.
- Set or adjust timers and schedules.
- Monitor its status in real-time.
Bonus Features: Voice Control with Alexa or Google Assistant
You can also link the Smart Life app to voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to control the airer hands-free:
- Amazon Alexa: Link your Smart Life account to Alexa and use voice commands like:
- “Alexa, turn on the clothes airer.”
- “Alexa, turn off the clothes airer.”
- Google Assistant: Connect Smart Life to Google Home and control the airer with commands like:
- “Hey Google, turn on the clothes airer.”
- “Hey Google, turn off the clothes airer.”
Troubleshooting Remote Control Issues
- No Internet Connection: Ensure your smartphone is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or mobile data) when you try to control the airer remotely.
- Device Offline: If the app says the airer is “offline”, check that the airer is plugged in and that your home Wi-Fi is working correctly.
- Delayed Response: Sometimes there may be a slight delay in remote commands due to network conditions. If the airer doesn’t respond immediately, wait a few seconds and try again.
