App Version 2.3

· 4 min read

Version 2.3 of the Connect Mesh App introduces significant improvements to sensor control and network management. The highlights include a new runtime-based sensor mode for multi-sensor setups and the ability to import existing Easy Pairing networks directly into the app.

Enhanced sensor mode with runtime control​

The new sensor mode fundamentally changes how sensors interact with your lights, making multi-sensor setups simpler.

How it works​

Previously, motion sensors could only control one group, and having multiple sensors per group would cause interference. The new runtime mode moves the timer logic from the sensor to the lights themselves. Each light now has its own configurable runtime setting that determines how long it stays on after being triggered.

When you turn on a light with runtime enabled - whether by motion sensor, switch, or app - it will automatically turn off after the specified duration. Multiple triggers will reset and extend the runtime, keeping your lights on as long as there's activity.

Key benefits​

  • Multiple sensors per group: Add as many motion sensors as needed to a single group without interference
  • Mixed control sources: Motion sensors, switches, and manual controls all work together seamlessly
  • Flexible configuration: Set different runtimes for individual lights or apply the same runtime to an entire group
  • Perfect for complex spaces: Ideal for areas like stairwells or long hallways where multiple sensors are needed for complete coverage

Setting up runtime mode​

  1. Navigate to a light's settings or select a group
  2. Enable runtime mode and set your desired duration
  3. For convenience, apply runtime settings to an entire group at once - all devices in the group will inherit the same runtime
  4. Add multiple motion sensors and switches to the group as needed
Migration assistance

If you have existing motion sensor setups, the app will guide you through migrating to the new runtime mode, ensuring a smooth transition without losing your current configurations.

Seamless Easy Pairing network import​

You can now import existing Easy Pairing networks directly into the Connect Mesh App, unlocking the full potential of your devices without starting from scratch. This is also useful if your original provisioner device gets lost or damaged — importing the network into the app lets you continue to replace devices or add new ones.

Easy Pairing allows quick setup of mesh devices without the app, perfect for basic installations. However, its capabilities are limited compared to the full app experience. Previously, upgrading to the app meant resetting all devices and reconfiguring everything from the beginning - a time-consuming and frustrating process. The new import feature preserves all your devices, groups, scenes, and basic settings during the transition.

  • After importing, the network can no longer be managed via Easy Pairing to prevent configuration conflicts
  • Full support for multiport devices is included, allowing seamless configuration of multiple lights connected to a single Mesh Box
Perfect for installers

This feature is ideal for installers who set up basic networks with Easy Pairing and later hand over to end users who want the full app experience. No more starting from scratch!

Manual orientation for Enocean switches​

Configure the physical orientation of your Enocean switches directly from the app. If you've installed a switch in a rotated position, you can now adjust its orientation in the settings to ensure the buttons work as expected - no need to physically reinstall the device.

Gateway WiFi settings reset​

Need to change your Gateway's network connection? You can now clear the WiFi credentials directly from the Gateway settings in the app. This makes it easy to move your Gateway to a different network or troubleshoot connectivity issues without having to perform a factory reset. For more details on WiFi setup, see the Smart Home Gateway Setup guide.

Enhanced device replacement for compatible devices​

The device replacement feature has been expanded to support compatible devices of different types. You can now replace a faulty device with a similar but not identical model, and the app will intelligently transfer all applicable settings, groups, scenes, and schedules. This flexibility makes maintenance and upgrades much easier.

Jung switch edge detection configuration​

For Jung switches, you can now configure edge detection settings directly in the app. This allows you to customize how the switch responds to button presses, enabling more precise control over your lighting setup.

Various improvements and bug fixes​

We've made numerous under-the-hood improvements to enhance stability and performance, ensuring a smoother experience throughout the app.
