  • Attention!


    Climate control devices' manufacturers can change the software for their products without changing their item numbers. In this case you will not be able to control your device using module, even though it was in the list of supported devices on rubetek.com. For detailed advice on the possibility of using control module RM-3715 with a specific climate control device, contact the manufacturers' service centers.

    Carefully follow the recommendations when adding module in mobile app. Depending on the purpose of the device, the method of addition will differ.


    Connection method. Sensor receiver


    When module is used only as receiver:


    1. Connect module to power block (included in the scope of supply).
    2. Hookup in the power supply.
    3. Add module to mobile app rubetek.


    Connection method. Climate control


    Procedure to control climate devices:


    1. Install module to USB connector.
    2. Add module to mobile app rubetek.

    or:


    1. Connect module to power block (included in the scope of supply).
    2. Hookup in the power supply.
    3. Add module to mobile app. rubetek.
    4. Install module to USB connector.

    After connecting to the climate device, the module will need to re-establish communication with the server. Therefore wait until tile will be active in application before starting management.


    Connection method. Control of breezer Tion


    Model Tion 3S does not have external USB-connector for module installation. However, you can contact service center of Tion to order adaptation of breezer control card.

    Breezer Tion 3S Rubetek is equipped with control module. This device should only added to mobile application. Select section Climate → Breezer → Tion 3S in addition catalogue.

    If breezers Tion 4S are connected, it should be considered that when top cover is opened, USB-connector is de-energized. Therefore, first of all:



    1. Connect module to power block (included in the scope of supply).
    2. Hookup in the power supply.
    3. Add module to mobile app. rubetek. Select section Climate → Breezer → Tion 4S in add directive.
    4. Install module to USB connector
    5. Close top cover of breezer tight
    6. Wait until tile in mobile app is active

    If the control remains unavailable after adding a Tion 4S device, we recommend downloading the Tion app and upgrade the breezer software to the latest version.


    Connection method. Control of air conditioner Haier


    Some models of Haier air conditioners do not have an external USB connector. In that case you will need USB cable (item number A0010402992) or its equivalent to connect control module. * Connect cable to internal control module card and follow the instructions provided on pages 16, 18. Select section Climate → Air conditioner → Haier → Version in add directory.



    * If you have any questions on use of cable with your air conditioner model contact Haier service center.



    Mobile app


    Download and install rubetek application from App Store or Google Play. You can use QR-code.
    Create an account and confirm your mobile number to use the application.




    Adding to application


    1. Open rubetek application.
    2. Press “+” in top right angle of the main screen
    3. Select “Add Device”

    If you plan to use control module only as receiver for devices of Smart Home system, then:

    4.1. Select section Climate → Control module → Control module RM-3715




    If you plan to use control module not only as receiver but also to control climate devices, then:

    4.2. Select section Climate → Device type (Air conditioner/Heat convector/Breezer) → Grade and version




    5. Press the button one time on the housing using special key, as shown on the picture. If activation was successful, blue LED will start flashing



    Visually similar climate devices can have different software. If the control remains unavailable after adding a device to the mobile app, we recommend removing it and adding it again by selecting another tile in the add directory.

    If during operation it became necessary to use the module to control another climate device, you shall remove it from the application and add it again.

  • With a one scale division signal, we do not guarantee stable operation of the control module. Move the device or router to improve signal quality.

    You can change Wi-Fi network only locally. i.e. you phone shall be connected to the same Wi-Fi network to which the device is connected.


    Other opportunities


    In combination with other devices of Smart Home system from rubetek you can create autonomous climate control system in your home.


    E.g., install window/door opening detector RS-3215 on window in a room with air conditioner, connected to control module RM-3715. Set up automatic on/off scenario depending upon detector conditions. This means that you can reduce power consumption and compressor load, extending the life time of the device.



    Install temperature and humidity sensor RC-3605 in a room and set up climate device functionality with control module RM-3715 depending upon sensor readings.




    Scenarios


    Create scenarios of automatic operation of connected devices.
    E.g., set up climate device functionality depending upon readings of temperature and humidity sensor RC-3605.


    1. Press “+” in top right angle of the main screen
    2. Select "Add Automation" from the bottom pop-up menu
    3. Set scenario name so that it is not confused with others

    If → Device status → Temperature and humidity sensor RC-3605 → Value




    Timers


    Control Module supports up to 10 timers for switching on and 10 timers for switching off. The will be in operation regardless of the availability of the Internet. Got to control shade and press its tile on the main control screen to set timers.




    Grouping


    Combine devices of one type in groups and control them simultaneously. In order to create new group, press “+” in top upper angle of the main screen and select “Create group”.




    Push notifications


    Combine devices of one type in groups and control them simultaneously. In order to create new group, press “+” in top upper angle of the main screen and select “Create group”.




    SMS notifications


    Go to the SMS-informing section in the Home settings to assign the phone number. You can add several phone numbers to one Home. Limits: up to 20 SMS per day to one mobile phone but max. 20 SMS to all assigned numbers in a Home.




    FAQ


    Does control module work in 5 MHz networks?
    No. This device can function only in 2.4 MHz networks.
    What devices are supported by control module?
    More detailed information on the list of devices is provided on web-site rubetek.com in section Support→Compatible devices.
    Can I create scenarios, using only control module?
    You can set up timers for automatic device switching on/off. Relevant sensors shall be installed for operation of climate devices depending upon temperature and other ambient parameters.
    The device can be controlled only within home network. How do I fix it?
    Remove the device and add it once again in mobile app. When you add it, wait for 30 min. and check the availability of the device and possibility of control outside home network.
    Module was added but the device do not respond to commands from application. What should I do?
    It is highly likely that you have selected the wrong tile during adding procedure. It happens since visually similar climate devices can have different software. We recommend to remove the device and add it once again, selecting other tile in add directive.
    LED on module flashes but the device can’t be added to application. What should I do?
    Press the Reset button once to put control module to adding mode. LED will flash without interval. If you press the Reset button longer (5 sec.), the module switches to the access point mode. In this case LED will flash but intermittently. To switch off access point mode, press Reset button once again and hold it within 5 sec.
    Very often control module become unavailable in mobile app. How do I fix it?
    Pay attention to parameter “signal strength” in module settings. If it is low, we cannot guaranty stable operation of the device. You can boost the signal from your router or change the location of devices in your home.

    If you can't solve the problem yourself, contact technical support at support@rubetek.com or by phone at 8 800 777-53-73.
