1 Functions of the WK-HUB
The WK-HUB will add the following features to a Rako wired system:
-Network interface: Local programming, App control and IP integration of 3rd party
control systems.
- Cloud Gateway: Interfaces with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Homekit,
Sonos etc.
-Storing Project file information: Room, Channel and Scene information can be
stored.
-Timed Events: Automatic functions at fixed times including dawn & dusk.
-Mapping: Commands can be redirected to perform other tasks.
-Macros: Series of commands that are triggered by a single command or event.
Specific steps can be enabled and disabled giving conditional functionality.
-Holiday Mode: Replays recorded Scene activity, creating an occupied look to a
property.
-Wired-Wireless Interface: The WK-HUB functions as an interface between wireless
signals and the wired network.
2 Installing the WK-HUB

3 Discovering the HUB and Setting the House Number
Before proceeding with any programming the HUB needs to be discovered
and the House number set. This is done via a web page setup wizard.
3.1 Discovering the HUB
Open Rasoft Pro programming software. Ensure that the laptop is connected
to the same network as the HUB.
The HUB should appear in the “Communication” window in the bottom
right of the software with a red stop sign. If it does not appear press
“Refresh”. If it still does not appear refer to section 3.4 of this manual.
3.2 Setting up the HUB using the Web Page Wizard
To access the HUB Web Pages right click the communication device in
the bottom right of the software. Select “Open in Browser”
WK-HUB Manual Version 1.3.4

-Step 1: Welcome page, select “Next” to begin setup.
-Step 2: Set a Password, this will be used to login to the webpages. It will also be the
password used to login to the App if a password is required.
-Step 3: Set the House number of the HUB. This should match the Rasoft Pro project
file as defined in the “New Project Wizard”. It is important this is set up correctly at
this stage as it will define the House number for the rest of the system.
-Step 4: Select “Finish” to complete setup.
3.3 Managing the HUB House number
Using the HUB on the default House address of 1 is strongly discouraged. Leaving the
House number as 1 drastically increases the likelihood of interface from nearby Rako
systems.
The HUB always has a default House Address of 1 if it has not been set up before.Before
programming using the HUB it is important to ensure the HUB House number corresponds
to the Project file House number.
To change the House number if the HUB has already been set up as described in 3.2 see
below:
WK-HUB Manual Version 1.3.4

As a final check it is advisable to disconnect and reconnect to the HUB:
If no pop-up box appears then the HUB House number and Project file House number are
the same.
WARNING
If a pop up box appears with a warning about the House number click “Cancel”. Do not
continue programming there is a conflict between the “Project File House Number” and
“HUB House Number”.
3.4 If you cannot connect to the HUB
If the software cannot connect to the HUB first restart the software and ensure that it is fully
updated. If the HUB still does not appear it is most likely a networking issue. If this problem
cannot be solved then the HUB can be connected to point to point using a standard
Ethernet cable.
4 Linking the HUB for cloud services
To be able to access cloud services the HUB must be linked to a my.rakocontrols.com
account.
4.1 Where to find each cloud service
Some cloud services are configured and customised from the HUB webpage whereas others
are from my.rakocontrols.com
-HUB webpage: Sonos Activities (new cloud API and “ACM” style custom IP strings)
including custom and default templates (RCM/WCM-audio style keypads)
-my.rakocontrols.com:Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Homekit including
“Custom Scenes” and advanced apple homekit configuration (Channel and Room
mode etc.)
NB
More detailed descriptions of how to use the more advanced settings within the cloud services are
linked from the relevant section of either the HUB webpages or my.rakcontrols.com
WK-HUB Manual Version 1.3.4

4.2 Linking the HUB to Cloud services
Use the HUB webpages to link to cloud services. Navigate to the “Cloud” section from the
menu on the right hand side of the screen.
-Step 1: Press “Connect”: this will link you to the my.rakocontols.com page.
Make sure that all “Service Status” are green before proceeding with the following steps.
-Step 2: Press “Login/Register” if you already have a my.rakcontrols.com use the
email and password that is used for this, if not create an account.
-Step 3: Once logged in the code within the HUB will be automatically verified.
WK-HUB Manual Version 1.3.4

-Step 4: Once linked the HUB will ask to be given a “Nickname”. This is how it will
be referred to in the my.rakocontrols.com interface. It does not need to be the same
as the “HUB name” as defined within the HUB setup wizard.
Once completed the my.rakocontols.com “Devices” page should appear as below:
5 Adding the HUB as a device to Rasoft Pro
Once the WK-HUB has been successfully connected it will need to be added into the
software as a device.
-Step 1: Select “File”- “New Device” to open the new device wizard. Choose
“Bridge” as the device to be added.
-Step 2: Select “Next” on the “Assign to Room” step. No room or channel needs to
be associated to the HUB.
-Step 3: Select the HUB from the list, it will appear if you are successfully connected
in the communications window. Click “Refresh” if it does not appear.
-Step 4: The HUB should now appear in the device list with green text and a blue
icon. The device is now assigned.
6 Uploading the project file
Once the entire system has been completed the project file should be uploaded to the
HUB. The HUB stores the Room, Channel and Scene information for the system. This
information is required for the App to operate correctly.
The “Smartphone/Web Data” tab is used to upload the Project File to the HUB. Once
selected it will open the page as below. Press “Save & Upload Room Data To Bridge” to
upload.
WK-HUB Manual Version 1.3.4

Type - This will change the appearance of the icon above the keypad on the App. It may
also affect the keypad that appears. For example a room set to “switch” will show two
buttons: “on” and “off” whereas a “blind” type room will show three buttons: “open”,
“stop” and “close”.
Mode - The mode of the room is only set when “lighting” is selected as the type. It will set
the variety of “keypad” that will appear in the App. Typically it is best to make this match
the physical keypad in the room.
NB
1) If a number of scenes that is not 4, 7 or 16 is desired then “named scenes” should be
selected. Give custom names to the scenes in the room editor and any number of scenes can
be made to appear on the App.
2) While the order of the rooms can be changed from this screen the order of the channels is
always fixed. To get channels in a specific order they must be addressed or mapped in the
desired order.
7 Downloading the project file
If information has been uploaded to the HUB then it is possible to import the Room,
Channel and Scene data into a blank project file.
The tab used for downloading information from the HUB is called “Room Import” select
this tab to open the page below.

-Step 1: Press the “Download Data” at the top of this page. This will open the data
for preview in the box below.
- Step 2: Press “Refresh List” if the data does not appear. If no Rooms appear or only
“default room” or “test bench” then there is no information to be downloaded from
the HUB.
-Step 3: Press “Import Data” to write the Room and Channel information into the
Project File.
-Step 4: Press “Refresh Channel Levels” to download the Scene data into the Project
File.
8 Events
Events can be viewed, added and edited using either Rasoft Pro, The Rako App or HUB
webpages. It should be noted that calendar event conditions can only be set from the HUB
web page interface.
The HUB can generate automated Events that trigger commands at specific times.
For example it is possible to automatically turn on the Garden lights on at Dusk and turn off
the Garden lights at Dawn.
