Currently, there are two predefined activities in the sequence: Watch TV and Watch Movies. Additional activities will be added in the future.

These activities guide you step-by-step to make selections, based on which a sequence of commands is prepared. The app also automatically maps keys to your Haptique® controller’s keypad, enabling seamless control. More about key mapping in the next chapter.

Watch TV Activity

Let’s add a Watch TV sequence to better understand how it works. On the Sequence Type selection screen, tap on ‘Watch TV’ to create a new Watch TV activity.

This will initiate a series of step-by-step questionnaire screens where you’ll need to provide your desired answers. The steps are as follows:

Device Selection Screen

The Watch TV sequence will first prompt you to select the devices to include in the sequence. You’ll be asked to choose from the following three types of devices:

Source Device: The device that serves as the input for your media, such as a set-top box or DVD player.

Audio Device: The device that produces sound, such as speakers or an AVR.

Display Device: The device that outputs the media, such as a TV or projector.

Key Mapping

Key mapping is a powerful feature that gives you complete control over your Haptique® controller’s keypad. The tactile feedback when controlling smart home devices is what sets the Haptique® controller apart, and the Haptique® config app ensures you can personalize this experience to suit your preferences.

With this feature, you can assign specific commands on the Haptique® controller's keypad, not just for a single device, but for all sequences and devices. This means you don’t need to open the specified device screen to trigger a command, you can control everything directly from the room screen using a keypad, making your smart home experience seamless and intuitive.

Map Keys

Key mapping is only available when editing a sequence, not during the creation of a new sequence. When editing, a tab labeled “Key Mapping” will be displayed. Tapping on this tab will reveal the Haptique® controller’s keypad layout, where you can assign commands from the list of selected commands in that specific sequence.

To set a command, tap on any key in the keypad layout. This will open the command selection screen. If a command is already assigned to the selected key, it will display the existing command along with an option to delete it.

Select a new command you wish to bind to the key and tap the Save button to confirm your selection. The new command, along with its associated device name, will now be displayed over the key's position in layout.

Key Points to Remember

Quick Access Buttons

This feature allows you to set the most used commands for a device or sequence directly on the room screen. By assigning these commands to specific tiles, you can easily control the device without having to navigate to the device control screen.

To add a quick access button, select the grid tile on which device or sequence is assigned. Then, tap the Quick Access button with the ‘+’ sign. This will open a command list screen for the selected device or sequence. Choose the command you want to assign, and tap Save & Continue to proceed to the next screen.

That's it! You now have a quick access button for that particular tile, ready to execute the device command with just a tap. You can add up to 6 quick access buttons per tile for even greater convenience.

Widgets
