End User Manual Trend Line

Click here to download the manual as PDF.

This user manual is designed for end users who have installed Trend Line products as a server in their home.

It is a guide on how to use the Thinknx Trend application available on Android and iOS. Each project is different, but this guide provides an overview of the most common features, allowing the user to easily navigate through the interface.

It is assumed that the Thinknx server installed is configured by an installer, system integrator or other professional figure and that the project is already deployed on the client device

For more enquiries regarding the use of Thinknx products, our support team is available to answer tickets on www.thinknx.com/support.

The project interface consists of a footer holding the main functions created by the integrator. The footer contains a large number of pages which can be changed by swiping left/right or by clicking the icon in the footer.

To access the Settings page, on the top left you will find the setting button

The settings page consists of the projects list located to the left, and the general settings of the project located to the right. These settings will allow the user to modify the appearance, change volumes, language and even update firmware if applicable. At the bottom of the page, multiple buttons are available to download a new project onto the client device using different methods (locally, through serial number and Cloud password, or using a QR code, if applicable).

Adding a project can be done via two methods:

• Using the local network This can only be done in the presence of the installer or any person who is able to open the project file with the Thinknx Configurator. The URL provided by this person can be entered inside the corresponding field after clicking on the “PC” icon in the client application followed by port 5050. The project will then be downloaded using the same network as the Thinknx server.

• Using Thinknx Cloud This can be done by the client without the presence of the installer. However, the installer will have to provide the client with the correct serial number and password. The client can click on the “Cloud” icon, enter the serial number and password, and click on Download. Once the download is completed, the project will show in the list to the left.

• using a QR Code The client can easily download the project by clicking on the “QR Code” icon and scanning a QR code shared by the installed by email/pdf. A permission should be granted to the Thinknx application to access the device's camera.

When opening a recently added project for the very first time, an authentication process takes place between the client's device and the Thinknx server. Authentication can be done in two ways:

• Using the local network If the project has been added locally by the installer, the client will get a notification when opening the project stating that the “authentication failed”. The installer in that case must add the device ID of the client to the authenticated clients list inside the server.

• Using Thinknx Cloud When the project has been downloaded from Thinknx cloud by the client, they will be prompted for a username and password the very first time they attempt to open the project. Both username and password shall be provided by the installer.

To delete a project, slide project name to the left and click on “Delete”.
