How to Integrate Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer with Other Smart Home Devices

Integrating your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer with other smart home devices, such as smart plugs, lights, sensors, or thermostats, can make your home more efficient and easier to manage. By creating automation routines and scenes in the Smart Life app, you can control multiple devices in sync, based on specific triggers like time, weather, or motion.


1. Add Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and Other Devices to the Smart Life App

Before integrating your airer with other devices, make sure all your smart devices are connected to the Smart Life app.

How to Add Devices:

  1. Open the Smart Life App: Ensure your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and other smart devices (such as plugs, lights, or sensors) are powered on.
  2. Enter Pairing Mode: For each device, put it in pairing mode. For the smart airer, press and hold the sync button for 5–10 seconds until the light blinks rapidly.
  3. Add Devices to the App: In the Smart Life app, tap the “+” (plus) icon, select the device type, and follow the prompts to add each device to your Wi-Fi network.

Repeat this process for each smart device you want to integrate with your airer, ensuring they are all listed in the app’s home screen.


2. Group Devices by Room or Function

Grouping devices in the Smart Life app helps you organise them by location (e.g., “Laundry Room” or “Living Room”) or by function (e.g., “Lights” or “Appliances”). This makes it easier to control them as part of an integrated system.

How to Group Devices:

  1. Tap the Home Icon: On the home screen of the Smart Life app, tap the “Home” or “Room” section.
  2. Create a New Room: Tap “Add Room” and assign a name (e.g., “Laundry Room”).
  3. Assign Devices to the Room: Place your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer, smart plugs, lights, or other devices in the corresponding rooms for easy access.

Benefits:

  • Easily control all devices in a specific room with one tap.
  • Simplifies management of multiple devices by grouping them logically.

3. Create Scenes to Control Multiple Devices Together

Scenes allow you to control multiple devices at once with a single action. You can set up scenes to manage devices together based on specific triggers, such as turning off all devices in the laundry room when the airer finishes drying, or turning on lights and the airer at a specific time.

How to Create a Scene:

  1. Tap the “Smart” Tab: In the Smart Life app, tap the “Smart” tab at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Create a New Scene: Tap the “+” (plus) icon and select “Add Scene”.
  3. Set a Trigger: Choose a trigger that will activate the scene. Common triggers include:
    • Time of Day: For example, turn on the airer and the lights at 8:00 AM.
    • Device Action: Set the airer to turn off smart plugs when it completes drying.
    • Manual Control: Create a button in the app that triggers all devices with one tap.
  4. Add Devices to the Scene: Select multiple devices to be part of the scene. For example, you can set up a scene to turn on your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and a smart light at the same time.
  5. Save and Name the Scene: Give your scene a name (e.g., “Laundry Routine”) and save it.

Examples of Scenes:

  • Laundry Routine: Turn on the airer and smart plug to power a fan simultaneously.
  • Energy Saving Scene: Turn off all devices in a room when the airer completes drying.

4. Automate Device Control Using Smart Automations

With Smart Automation in the Smart Life app, you can create rules that automate how devices interact with each other. For example, you can automate your airer to work in tandem with a motion sensor or set it to activate only during specific weather conditions.

How to Set Up Automations:

  1. Tap “Smart” in the App: Go to the “Smart” section of the Smart Life app.
  2. Tap “Add Automation”: Choose “Add Automation” to set up a rule-based automation.
  3. Select a Condition: Choose a trigger for your automation, such as:
    • Time-Based: Automatically turn on your smart clothes airer and other devices at specific times (e.g., every day at 9:00 AM).
    • Weather-Based: Turn on your airer when the weather changes (e.g., during rainy or humid conditions).
    • Device-Based: Set automations where one device’s action controls another (e.g., turning off a smart light when the airer finishes drying).
  4. Add Device Actions: After setting the trigger, choose the actions for your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer and other devices (e.g., turn off the smart plug when the airer finishes).
  5. Save the Automation: Once you’ve configured the automation, save it and ensure it’s enabled.

Examples of Automations:

  • Energy Saving Automation: Turn off all laundry room devices (airer, lights, plugs) automatically when you leave home.
  • Weather Automation: Turn on the airer during rainy or high-humidity days for efficient indoor drying.
  • Motion-Triggered Automation: Turn on lights and start the airer when motion is detected in the laundry room.

5. Control Devices with Voice Assistants (Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant)

By integrating the Smart Life app with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you can control multiple smart devices with voice commands. For example, you can say, “Alexa, turn on the clothes airer and lights in the laundry room.”

How to Set Up Voice Control:

  1. Enable the Smart Life Skill:
    • In the Alexa app, enable the Smart Life skill under Skills & Games.
    • In Google Home, link your Smart Life account via the Google Home app.
  2. Discover Devices: Once linked, ask Alexa or Google to “discover devices”, and they will find all your ABIS smart devices.
  3. Create Groups: In your voice assistant app, create device groups (e.g., “Laundry Room”) so you can control multiple devices with one command.
  4. Use Voice Commands: You can say:
    • “Alexa, turn on the smart clothes airer and lights in the laundry room.”
    • “Hey Google, turn off the airer and the smart plug.”

Benefits:

  • Simplifies control over multiple devices by using voice commands.
  • Ideal for managing routines without needing to use your phone.

6. Use IFTTT for Advanced Integrations

For even more advanced automation, you can use IFTTT (If This Then That) to link your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer with other smart home platforms or devices that may not be directly supported by Smart Life.

How to Set Up IFTTT:

  1. Create an IFTTT Account: Sign up at ifttt.com or via the IFTTT app.
  2. Connect Smart Life: In the IFTTT app, connect the Smart Life service to your account.
  3. Create Applets: Set up custom applets to link actions from different devices and platforms.
    • For example, you can trigger the airer to turn on when a specific event occurs in another app, like Google Calendar or a smart home hub.

Benefits:

  • Extends the integration possibilities by linking the airer with other smart home systems.
  • Provides even more customization and flexibility for smart home automation.
