Connector App Timer Setup: Automate Your Device

The Connector+ App allows you to automate your MaxiSMART® motorised blinds and awnings using built-in timer functions. By setting schedules, you can enjoy effortless daily operation without needing to use a remote or phone each time.

Step 1: Open the Connector+ App

Launch the app on your smartphone and sign in with your account. Ensure your blinds are already connected to the app before proceeding.

Step 2: Select the Device

From the home screen, tap on the blind or awning you want to automate. This will open the control panel for that device.

Step 3: Access Timer Settings

Look for the Timer or Schedule option (usually represented by a clock icon or found in the settings menu for the device). Tap to open.

Step 4: Create a New Timer

Tap Add Timer or + to start a new schedule.
Select the action: Open, Close, or a specific position (e.g. 50%).
Choose the time you want the action to occur.
Select the days of the week for the schedule (e.g. weekdays only or every day).

Step 5: Save and Activate

Tap Save or Done to confirm your timer settings. The new timer will now be displayed in your schedule list and run automatically.

Step 6: Edit or Delete Timers

You can adjust or remove timers at any time by returning to the timer menu. This gives you flexibility to match your routine or seasonal changes.

Benefits of Timer Automation

Convenience: Blinds open and close automatically at set times.
Energy efficiency: Keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter by managing sunlight.
Security: Automating blinds creates the impression of occupancy when you’re away from home.

Summary

Setting up timers in the Connector+ App is simple and effective. Once configured, your MaxiSMART® blinds will operate on schedule, giving you comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind every day.
