Using the EchoAccess™ Mobile App

For connection to the Echo control system using Bluetooth, select the Bluetooth option.

Bluetooth specifications:

All available EchoAccess Interface stations (Echo Bridges) within range will display in the list for selection. Use the wink feature to determine which EchoAccess Interface to select when more than one displays in the list. The symbol at the upper left of the Bluetooth connection screen sorts the Bluetooth connections by signal strength (strongest at the top).

Note: When you select an EchoAccess Interface with security enabled, you will be prompted to enter a password before connecting to the Echo control system. Security passwords can be set for control and configuration functionality separately.

Note: When using Bluetooth, ETC recommends a wireless operating distance of no more than 30 ft (9.1 m) between the EchoAccess Interface station and the mobile device running the EchoAccess Mobile App. Walls and other solid objects positioned between the transmitter and the receiver will impact the transmission of the wireless signal. Avoid obstructions when possible.

Selecting an EchoAccess Interface from the list connects to the Echo control system and displays the Preset Control page where you will be able to control presets and zones for each allowed space. The number of spaces configured for the Echo control system is indicated by dots on the bottom of the Preset Control page. Swipe the page to the left or right to access additional spaces.

For connection to an Echo control system using Wi-Fi, select the Wi-Fi option. A configured Echo Bridge (Echo Expansion Bridge) will display in the list for selection if it has previously been connected using its IP Address. If the Echo Expansion Bridge has never been connected to the EchoAccess Mobile App, you will need to identify the unit by its IP Address.

1. Click the [Add IP Address] button and enter the Echo Expansion Bridge IP Address. The factory default IP Address is 10.101.19.101.

   Note: You can find the Echo Expansion Bridge IP Address on the user interface when it is powered.

2. Click [Ok] to close the "Enter IP Address" dialog.

Selecting an Echo Expansion Bridge connects to the Echo control system and displays the Preset Control page.

Note: When you select an EchoAccess Interface with security enabled, you will be prompted to enter a password before connecting to the Echo control system. Security passwords can be set for control and configuration functionality separately from the General Configuration .

Note: If the Echo Expansion Bridge you are expecting to connect to does not display, your Wi-Fi network may not allow multicast traffic. Do the following: 1) enable "Auto Discover" by toggling the Auto Discover switch so the switch is highlighted and the circular handle is on the right end of the slot, 2) manually enter the configured Echo Expansion Bridge(s) IP Address into the application using the [Add IP Address] feature. Once the Echo Expansion Bridge has been discovered and configured for the EchoAccess Mobile App, the device will display in the list for all future connections.

Once connected, you will be able to control presets and zones for each configured space. The number of spaces configured for the Echo control system is indicated by dots on the bottom of the Preset Control page. Swipe the page to the left or right to access additional spaces.

Auto Discover

Tap the Auto Discover toggle switch to change its position. When the switch is positioned to the right as shown above, EchoAccess will look for devices to connect to via Wi-Fi. When the Auto Discover toggle switch is positioned to the left, EchoAccess will not automatically search for new devices to connect to. This is helpful for finding an Echo Expansion Bridge without having to know and manually add their specific IP address.
