Solar Smart is now available to be controlled from other devices such as thermostats, home/building automation systems, security systems and etc. - with the use of wired External Control Inputs (ECI) on a dedicated remote – ECI Box.

The ECI Box acts as a Secondary to the Main Remote provided with the Solar Smart Motor(s). When pairing information is transferred from the Main Remote to the ECI Box, the ECI Box will only control the units paired into Zone 1 of the ECI Box.

If different rooms/zones within the home/building are to be tied into a home/building automation system, each room/zone shall need to have a unique Main Remote with all Motors paired into that Remote into Zone 1. Then an ECI Box is required for each room/zone, and the pairing information is transmitted from each Main Remote to the corresponding ECI Box for that room/zone.

The ECI Box requires momentary contact closure of 0.5 seconds to execute an open or close command. Refer to the wiring diagram for further information on the wiring requirements. The ECI Box requires a standard wall outlet to be utilized as well.
