Sevenhugs

Installation:

The first step to install the remote is to charge it by placing it in the base station. When it is charged a little, you start the remote. He will welcome you and ensure that you are connected to your WiFi network. After it is connected, a download of a new firmware starts immediately. Good to see that people continue to work on the remote.

Remote connect with APP:

The next step is to make sure that the Sevenhugs can talk to the APP. You can do this by downloading the APP and starting it. After that, create an account and he will start adding the remote. I had quite a few problems with this but after trying several times and making my router stupid I was able to connect. I have of course also put this problem with Sevenhugs and it is indicated that some routers cause problems, but that they are working on a solution.

Position determination:

As already mentioned, this remote allows you to point to a device to ensure that it is immediately on the correct control. He arranges this by knowing the position of the Sevenhugs. He knows this by learning the position of the 3 included sensors. So the first step is to learn this. Make sure the sensors are in view of the remote control and distributed across the room. Also make sure they are not too close together. When all this has been learned you can determine the position of the devices. You can do this by pointing the Sevenhugs at your devices.

I was skeptical if all this would work fine, but when I point at a device I get the correct screen.
