NOTICE
AUTHENTICATION METHOD CHANGES Starting with C-Bus Controllers (5500NAC2/5500AC2) Firmware version 2.2.0, the authentication method has been updated to enhance cybersecurity. Upon upgrading to version 2.2.0, users will be required to log in after the initial upgrade. To prevent authentication pop-up from appearing for the selected duration, check the Remember username and password check box, and then select the duration from the User cookie expiration days drop-down. By default, the user session expiration is set to 30 days and can be extended up to 365 days. Benefits: This change significantly improves the cyber security posture of your system, helping to protect against unauthorised access and ensuring compliance with modern security standards. Considerations: As a result of this enhancement, users will need to remember that controller password and re-authenticate when duration expires. Failure to follow these instructions can result in the device not operating properly.

This document outlines the setup for the Manager and Manager Config applications for SpaceLogic C-Bus Application Controllers.

Manager Config

Manager Config is a powerful configuration tool designed to enable system integrator to tailor your home automation experience. It provides a visual representation of the layout of your home, allowing you to define the structure and contents of your home environment which will be visible in the Manager application.

With Manager Config, you can:

Define Your Home’s Layout: Create a detailed representation of your home by outlining buildings, floors, and rooms.
Customize Visuals: Choose names, descriptions, and icons for each part of your home, enhancing the user experience and making navigation intuitive.
Set Up Control Items: Specify which items to monitor and control in each location, including lighting, climate, fountains, and other load types.
Integrate Services: Define additional services like security to ensure a comprehensive home automation setup.

By setting these parameters in Manager Config, you establish a personalized and organized framework that will be integrated into the Manager application.

The Manager Config application enables the creation of a visualization layout for floors, each containing multiple rooms.

Manager

The Manager application is your go-to interface for managing and controlling your Home Automation system. It provides a user-friendly platform to interact with the home environment defined in Manager Config.

Key features of the Manager application include:

Intuitive Control Panel: Access and manage all controllable items defined in Manager Config with ease.
Real-Time Monitoring: Keep track of your home’s lighting, climate, and other systems in real time.
Customizable Views: Navigate through your home layout as you defined it, with the ability to quickly adjust settings for specific rooms or areas.
Enhanced Security Features: Monitor and control security services to ensure your home remains safe and secure.

Together, Manager Config and the Manager application create a seamless home automation experience, allowing you to customize and control your living space effectively.

The widgets can be organized using the layout of their home to define the floors, rooms and locations of each widget.

NOTE: The Manager/Config application comes pre-installed on the 5500AC2 after upgrading to v2.0.0/v2.1.0 and above. However, it is also possible to install the Manager/Config application on the 5500NAC2.

NOTE:
Term widget in the context of the Manager/Config and Mobile app:
