7.1Multiroom-operation: select the SMR for control

The WAP system can operate with various SMR device controlled though one BRC! By this multiroom feature, you only need to use one BRC – e.g. while you walk in your house – to control a number of SMR devices in different rooms.

The menu for selecting the SMR for control you can reach by the right soft key (4) in the main screen. This is the quick way for multiroom selection. The actually selected SMR is displayed on top position of the SMR device list.

Precondition for any change between SMR devices is their existence in the SMR device list. When there are already various SMR devices avaiable, scroll to the desired SMR name and hit the OK (7) button to activate the connection.

The BRC then releases control of the current SMR device – playback of the current device continues! – and changes over to control the new selected SMR.

For the settings of the SMR device list you can find further

functions in the settings menu under the point Multiroom. There, you will find functions for adding new SMR devices, to erase from the device list and to rename the SMR devices upon demand. For more informations please read the section 8.1

Multiroom.

Note: in case the new selected SMR device you aim for control is out of reception area of your BRC, there will be a warning screen.

In case you walk away from your currently connected SMR, leaving the reception area of the connection between BRC and SMR, the above mentioned warning screen appears, too.

This warning screen enables you to reconnect to current SMR (softkey 4), or to select another SMR (softkey 2) for control.

If you just have one SMR in your setup, please move the BRC to another position closer to your SMR device to recover the control connection.

The allowable distance between BRC and SMR dependas on your local conditions. In typical home environment it is possible to reach 15 meters distance with some walls between BRC and SMR. But this is not to be guaranteed due to very different wall/ceiling materials. Outside the house, the operational distance can be multiplied.
