After startup, you will get a waiting screen and stop there due to it is waiting the connection of real Boat Gateway device. Since you may not have the Boat Gateway device on hand, the actual signals of boat will not be received. To get the feeling of usage or for test, this app has a simulation function to play historical “log” that recorded earlier in real world. Please follows procedures below. 1. First, installed and open this app . You will get the screen to wait connection of real Boat Gateway device. 2. Click the three-bars icon on upper left corner to get the fly-out menu. The simulation function is located at “Demo Cases”. 3. When you enter the “Demo Cases”, You will get three tabs on bottom. The first tab is “Cases Download” and marked as red icon. By entering this function, it will immediately check the cloud and get the list of simulation scenarios. To download the simulation file, you can slide the rows to get the download button and then trigger to download. 4. With the file downloaded, we can move on the next step. Please restart this App, you will find demo words on the corns of "Check Wifi". You can start simulation cases by press the demo words. 5. This app will run simulation as real life if anything go right. 6. You can open the "Setting" and turn on "Fly Mode Auto-Pilot Control". To use this function, go to "Compass Instrument" and tape the second tab "Autopilot" on the bottom. You can try to tap the compass and swing your phone to see the fly mode control working. Have fun.
BlueRange Setup

The BlueRange Setup app acts as a personal assistant for the smooth enrollment of BlueRange Gateways and BlueRange Mesh Nodes in a BlueRange Mesh. The quick and easy configuration of the components and extensive diagnostic functions facilitate use on the construction site. With the innovative BlueRange Mesh based on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), room automation and wireless networking of lighting, sun protection, heating, ventilation, cooling (HVAC) and a wide range of sensors can be flexibly implemented for maximum room comfort. Functions overview: - Enrollment of BlueRange Gateways and BlueRange Mesh Nodes - Positioning of BlueRange Gateways and Mesh Nodes in a floor plan - Reading out sensor values - Replacing mesh components - Configuration of network settings (e.g. DHCP, DNS, NTP time server or static IP) - Diagnosis of BlueRange Gateways (e.g. connection status) - Analysis of BlueRange Mesh Nodes in the vicinity - Collecting mesh components for bulk enrollment via bulk QR code scanner - BLE radar for locating mesh components in the building - Locating networks via devices using QR code, Nearby or NFC scan - Switching between different buildings and organizations - Switching between different networks within an organization - Creating and editing buildings, floors and networks The BlueRange Setup app is primarily aimed at commissioning partners and operators of digital buildings with BlueRange Mesh components. BlueRange is the digital foundation in buildings, making it possible to implement and provide a wide range of use cases in a smart building. Smart buildings are more energy efficient and thus help to reduce the CO2 footprint in the real estate sector. The BlueRange Mesh can be used to query sensor values in real time and control components in the building. BlueRange thus increases the transparency of the individual components and makes it possible to determine the quality of operation. BlueRange is a WiredScore-accredited solution and provides decisive added value for SmartScore certification. Access to the BlueRange IoT platform is required to use the BlueRange Setup app.
