Aer making sure that the device is connected in accordance with the
diagram and that there are no metal components near the controllerwhich
may accidentally cause short-circuit, start the device by turning on the power
(turning on the mains fuse or connecng the power cord to the power outlet).

DownloadIf you have an Android mobile device,
you will nd the applicaon in the Play Store. For iOS devices the applicaon
is in the App Store.
By using your mobile phone or tablet, connect it to the device wireless
network. To do this, enter to your smartphone or tablet sengs, then go to
seng of the WiFi network and nd the network name „switchBoxD_DIN-
xxxxxxxxxx” where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the device. Connect
to this network.
Turn on the wBox applicaon. You will see your device on the main screen.
In order to add it to your applicaon account, select “Add device to account”.
If you are the installer and do not want to assign the device to your account,
select “Use only once”.
Test the operaon of the controller by pressing the ON/OFF buon in the
app, paying aenon to the behavior of the connected load and backlight in
the controller. You can also control the load using the buon located on the
controller housing - have in mind that it will toggle both outputs. If you have
connected a wall switch, check its operaon. The default conguraon is
designed to work with bistable buons (rocker switch). In this conguraon,
for monostable buons (push-buons), holding down the push-buon
should turn on the load, releasing will turn o the load. Changing the acon
sengs is described in the further part of the manual.
You can also set the conguraon using the web
browser of your phone / tablet. Aer connecng to the
wireless network of the controller, turn on the browser
and go website www.blebox.eu

Go to the WiFi network sengs (“Sengs” icon in the top right corner of
the screen, “Connecon” secon), where you can connect the device to the
home WiFi network to be able to control the device via it or from anywhere
in the world. To do this, select the network name from the list of available
networks and press “Connect”. If required, enter your WiFi password.
When connecng the device to the home network, the phone / tablet may
disconnect from the device’s network.
Aer reconnecng the phone to the controller’s WiFi network, check the
“WiFi Client status” and “Remote access status” elds. The controller is
equipped with a network connecon supervision system which in case of
problems with connecon to the WiFi or the Internet will report the problem
and its possible causes. If the network is working properly both elds will be
set to “Connected”.
In order to communicate with the device from outside the local WiFi
network, from anywhere in the world, via the wBox applicaon, the device
automacally connects to the BleBox cloud system service by default. The
remote access system is fully encrypted and secure, the data are transmied
by European servers from reputable companies. It is possible to disable
the remote access service - aer clicking the “Congure” buon, toogle
the switch next to the “Remote access” opon. Remember that disabling
“Remote access” will result in no access to the controller from outside the
local network as well as disabling the nocaons and external integraon
systems, therefore we recommend that you leave this opon enabled (default
seng). event log
Enabling the “Event log” opon will cause the device to record events (e.g.
about sent nocaons set in the “Acons” secon) in the BleBox cloud
system. This allows the history of the events to be viewed later also when
the controller is oine.
Aer compleng the WiFi network conguraon, you can disconnect from
the device network and connect the phone / tablet directly to your home
WiFi network. Control from the wBox applicaon will work in the same way
as when the phone / tablet is connected to the device’s network. If as a
user you leave the local network, eg leaving your home or enclosing mobile
data, the wBox applicaon will signal this status as “Remote mode”. In this
case, you will have access to the device data, but for security reasons sengs
opons will not be available.
In the “”Service connecon (AP)”” secon, you can change the name and
give the password of the WiFi network emied by the device. Remember
that changing the network name or password can cause disconnecon with
the device immediately aer clicking the “”Save”” buon, so you should
reconnect to the WiFi network.
It is also possible to completely disable the access point emied by the
device. To do this move the “Access point” slider to the o posion and
conrm the selecon with the “Save” buon.
Aenon! If the controller does not have a stable connecon to the WiFi
network (“WiFi client status”: “Connected”, without any error warnings),
restarng the access point will not be possible - in this situaon, the only
soluon is to reset the controller to the factory sengs. Disabling the
access point is recommended only aer the complete driver conguraon
and making sure that the enre system is working properly.
When the “Power consumpon measuring” opon is set to “Yes”, the main
screen of the controller displays the measurement data. The device measures
the current power of the connected load and also counts energy consumpon
per unit of me. It is possible to set the cost of 1kWh of energy so that the
cost of energy consumed in a given period is immediately visible.
Historical measurement data are available by clicking on the diagram icon in
the upper right corner of the screen. Measurement data are stored only on
the BleBox server and are available only when the “Remote access” opon
is set to “Yes”.
Go to the device sengs (the “Sengs” icon in the top right corner of the
screen). In the “Name and icon” secon you can change the name of the
device under which it is displayed in the wBox applicaon. In the “Device
Sengs” secon it is possible to turn o the LED diode built into the device.
To control some devices, e.g. fans with two-three-stage speed regulaon, it
is necessary to change the operang mode of the outputs, from independent
to push-pull. In push-pull mode, only one output can be turned on at a me.
In other words, turning on a given output turns o the others.
It is also possible to change the order of the logical outputs with respect to
the physical connectors. In addion, for each output, you can independently
determine the state aer a power reset and set a mer.
The “Power consumpon measuring” opon determines whether the
controller should show and archive the energy consumpon of the connected
load.
Aenon! Energy measurement is carried out for the enre device - the
current value of energy consumpon is the sum of energy consumed in
individual, currently switched on circuits.
Also check the selecon in the “State aer restart” opon, which determines
how the controller behaves aer a restart caused by, for example, a power
failure. You can choose whether the load should be on, o, remain as before
the restart (if it was o then it has to connue o), or take the opposite state.
Seng the value in the eld “Switch on for me” will cause an addional
“Switch on for me” buon to be displayed on the control screen. Each press
of the buon counts down the set me aer which the load will be turned
o.
