How to Use Scenes to Automate Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer

With the Scenes feature in the Smart Life app, you can automate your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer to work based on different triggers, such as the time of day, weather conditions, or interactions with other smart devices in your home. This guide will walk you through creating custom scenes to automate your smart airer.

Step 1: Open the Smart Life App

1. Make sure your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer is connected to the Smart Life app.
2. Open the Smart Life app on your smartphone.
3. Tap on the “Smart” tab at the bottom of the screen to access automation features.

Step 2: Create a New Scene

1. Under the “Scene” tab, tap the “+” (plus) icon in the upper-right corner to create a new scene.
2. You’ll be prompted to set up a condition or trigger that will automate the airer. This is the event that will start the scene.

Step 3: Choose a Trigger for the Scene

You can set your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer to respond to a variety of triggers. Here are some common options:

1. Schedule (Time of Day):
   • Select Schedule to automate your airer based on specific times. For example, you could create a scene to turn on the airer at 9:00 AM every day and turn it off at 12:00 PM.
2. Weather Changes:
   • Choose Weather Changes if you want the airer to automatically turn on when the weather is humid or raining. This can help ensure clothes dry efficiently even in poor weather conditions.
3. Device Status:
   • If you have other smart devices (such as a door sensor or motion sensor), you can set the airer to react when another device changes its status. For example, the airer could turn off when a smart window sensor detects an open window.
4. Location (Geo-Fencing):
   • Use Location to set up a geo-fenced scene where the airer turns on when you arrive home or turns off when you leave the house.

Step 4: Set the Action for Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer

Once you’ve selected the trigger, it’s time to define what the airer should do when the trigger occurs:

1. Tap Add Task.
2. Choose Run Device, and then select your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer from the list of devices.
3. Set the action:
   • Turn On: To automatically power on the airer.
   • Turn Off: To automatically power down the airer.
   • Custom: You can create more advanced actions such as turning the airer on for a certain amount of time before it shuts off.

Step 5: Customise Additional Conditions

1. You can add conditions to further refine when the scene activates.
   • For example, you might only want the scene to trigger on certain days of the week (e.g., weekdays), or only when the temperature is above a certain level.
2. To add a condition, tap Add Condition and select options such as time, weather, or device status.

Step 6: Save Your Scene

1. Once you’ve set the trigger and action, tap Save or Done to finalise the scene.
2. You can name your scene something descriptive, like “Morning Drying Routine” or “Turn Off When I Leave Home.”
3. Your new scene will now be listed under the Scenes tab, and it will automatically run whenever the conditions are met.

Example Scenes for Your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer

Here are some useful examples of scenes you can create to automate your smart airer:

2. Turn Off the Airer When You Leave Home (Geo-Fencing)

• Benefit: Automatically turn off the airer to save energy when you’re no longer at home.

3. Activate Drying on Humid Days

• Benefit: Ensure clothes dry properly on humid days by automating the airer based on weather conditions.

4. Stop Drying at Night

• Trigger: Time – 10:00 PM.

• Benefit: Avoid running the airer overnight by automatically turning it off at a set time.

Managing and Editing Scenes

1. To edit or delete an existing scene, return to the “Smart” tab in the Smart Life app.
2. Tap on the scene you want to adjust, and make any changes to the trigger or actions.
3. You can also disable a scene temporarily by toggling it off without fully deleting it.

Troubleshooting Scene Issues

• Scene not triggering: Ensure your phone and the airer are both connected to the internet, as the app relies on this connection to execute scenes.
• Location-based scenes not working: Make sure that location services are enabled for the Smart Life app in your phone’s settings.
• Weather-based scenes: Confirm that the app has access to weather data for your location, which is necessary for weather-triggered scenes to work properly.

You’re Ready to Automate!

By using the Scenes feature in the Smart Life app, you can create convenient automations that make your ABIS Smart Clothes Airer work smarter. Whether it’s time-based schedules, weather triggers, or smart home integrations, scenes make managing your airer easier and more efficient.
