@@vailingshadow5030 We’re still here and still Creating new products and software every year - why do you ask?

@@SAL_PIXIEI was looking at starting to switch my home to pixie. I just can’t seem to find much information apart from what your company offers. Most updates online are from either last year or 2019. This doesn’t fill me with confidence that the product will be supported for much into the future.

@@vailingshadow5030 Not really sure what you mean -" apart from what your company offers" ... We are the manufacturer and we sell to Electrical wholesalers who in turn sell to electricians who in turn sell to home owners. So the information we provide is the source of truth for all of those people in the value chain - and hence the best place to get the information you are looking for. We've been designing PIXIE for 9 years, selling it for 7, we've been operating for 25years and we are Australia's largest suppliers of lighting to wholesale trade market (SAL) - pixiepartners.com.au/pixie-online-support/ has FAQ and support articles added to it every month and our free training course for electricians see about 150 electrician register every month... Does that help,?

SFI technology cannot fit int the base of that type of lamp. Unfortunately a lot of those LED lamps, with their limited space for driver circuitry provide very poor dimming compatibility, especially when compared to SFI. There's limited solution to fix flickering of screw-in lamps - perhaps an filter installed at your electrical distribution board will help if you are having issue in your home with lamps flickering.

The App looks a little different but the basic process remains.

PIXIE Gate & Door Control - PC206GD-R-BTAM

Press it 7 times.

HI there, the G2 dimmer does not have the fade rate capability only the Gen3 dimmer. Once you have this and PIXIE PLUS, its possible to schedule the scene with a fade rate.

Have the LED strip permanently powered. To control if from the wall use a Multifunction controller (on off dim up dim down). Next install the sensor BUT do not connect it to the load ( LED strip controller) - instead create 2 PROGRAMs using program mode 1) for when the sensor detects motion AND recall a SCENE to the LED strip. 2) when the sensor switches off - Set the timeout in the sensor to 3 minutes :)

Thanks for the comments - to answer your last comment first - 2 wires is the best way to make this form factor, our older FATTER versions had terminals making them too fat and / or too long for the majority of installations over 3 gang plates sizes. These are here to stay for now based on market requirements. The Blind and signal controller has been out for a while now and take on board your comments re screw size and cabling - It does provide a level of flexibility with respects to the number of different device it can be controlled and wired to control - but it is a common comment re wiring. Thanks for the feedback!

Install a dimmer in a hallway which has bedrooms running of it .Also install a SENSOR in the hallway but do not connect it to the load - it will just detect motion and send off a command - Create a schedule from between 10pm and 6am for example, IF motion is detected during this time period, then turn the hallway dimmer on to 10% only so you dont blinded by the lights at full!

Hi there you dont specifically need the Neutral from the load - the terminal is provided for potential convenience if needed.

On the to do list...

A secondary device doesn’t show in the app, which means, if this sensor is a secondary device, you are not able to know which sensor was triggered, neither can you setup what sensor will trigger what product in the new Program module. Considering the safety characteristic in sensors, we decided to make the first PIXIE sensors as master. As a master device, the user can easily identify and configure the sensor in the App, manage the working modes of the sensor, and set up programs smoothly.

These are motion sensors, cannot track presence or absence as such, but knowing the state has some benefits... and some additional software updates coming soon that will help you achieve some of what you are looking to do...

We are considering some additional sensors that do more thank just motion for next year but no final devision made just yet. There are no planned changes for the power points other than the price reduction at this stage BUT these requirements are a moving target and we'll respond to market demand. Because we're in control of the engineering ourselves we can choose exactly what to make and what not to make :)

@@SAL_PIXIE great to hear, many of my customers already have all their master devices installed, just looking at additional inputs (sensors) to also control the lights - whist also keeping the dimming functionality, At the moment installing a 240v sensor, contactor and a translation/dry contact device isn't very cost friendly. Excited to see what you guys come up with 👍

@@lukeluketube We cant wait either - we're know the community will create scenarios we haven't even thought of yet - some software updates coming soon to achieve some of what you have described...

We are still working on the API, Matter and Homekit

How many PIXIE devices do you have in the home? Just one? Each mobile device needs a separate PIXIE device to which connect to using Bluetooth up to a maximum of 10 concurrent connections ( 10 PIXIE devices needed)

@@SAL_PIXIE Just one, yes. Thanks for replying so quick! A bit of a shame since i wanted both my wife's phone and mine to both have access to the switch but seems we can't do that. Appreciate the help tho so thanks!

@@Iggsy81 You're welcome - perhaps in the future an extra PIXIE device like a PIXIE smart plug - ESS105BT ( no electrician needed to install) will be useful for things like Xmas lights and alike and will give you that ability.

If you only have one device then only 1 phone can connect. If you have 10 or more devices then a maximum of 10 users can connect simultaneously. If using PIXIE PLUS and not the SAL PIXIE app there is no limit on each number of connect phones.

If you have only 1 device - to test - kill the app on both phones - then using the Phone that 'was not working' open the SAL PIXIE App. You should connect.

We've answered this in detail at the knowledge base here: pixiepartners.com.au/support-docs/does-pixie-work-with-apple-homekit/

Thanks and you're welcome. Happy you found it easy!

Hey Glen, as you well stated - NEW thread standards ... Right now the answer is no ( May 2021) - but we continue to assess and add new technologies to the ecosystem. No ETA on that feature/ service just yet though.

All master PIXIE devices provide the ability to run 24/7 day schedules.

how do install an stc/tb and link it to the pixie app? It s a fail for me.

The STC/BT is a secondary device which then gets paired to a master device.

I can not see my music in the sync section it's got some of the Samsung stock sounds but doesn't show my music library? And can you use Spotify?

@@Movies555movies We do not support any streaming music apps. Download your music and transfer it to the music folder in the phone. Most of music types files are supported except the music files that are encrypted for example, Spotify, Samsung Music, google music and any other streaming services.

@@SAL_PIXIE will you down the line support music streaming apps do you think?

@@Movies555movies At this time its not something we are working on, but anything is possible with enough time and demand.

@@SAL_PIXIE no worries, hopefully down the line it happens, sound be very cool, cheers
