1. Chatterbox

1.1 What is Chatterbox?

Chatterbox is a communications device providing a User Interface (UI) connection between a computer or

personal device (smartphone or tablet) and any of your Sygnal climate, lighting, automation products.

Chatterbox can also be used to communicate with some other product brands including other home

automation products.

1.2 Compatibility

A User Interface (UI) has been developed to simplify the commissioning, use and change of operating

parameters for the Sygnal range of products. A click of “Other Systems” at the top of the user page switches

between the various Sygnal systems, climate control, lighting control etc.

1.3 Versatility

Though Chatterbox has been designed for integration with Sygnal systems it can be supplied with RS485 and

RS232 for connection to other devices should this be desirable.

1.4 Simple and Upgradable

The Chatterbox architecture allows for remote upgrade of many features so as development continues new

features can be added via an internet connection.

1.5 Plug & Play

You can also add one of the other Sygnal systems such as climate control and lighting control. Sygnal systems

are “plug and play” you don’t need to call in a programmer, automation specialist or specialist technician.

Once the systems are connected on the same LAN they recognise each other and the appropriate interface is

loaded without the need for you to do anything.

1.6 Html User Interface

The html user interface can be used on most devices with a browser from Smartphone or tablet to PC. The

display results vary slightly depending on your device and browser type used. Many people choose the iPad

mini as their UI platform but a laptop, PC or even your iPhone can be used to control your Sygnal product.

Now, you’ll likely not use your phone or tablet often to turn lights on and off, after all you have switches in all

the normal places, but when you want to change a time clock setting on your perimeter security lights or

change a group setting, even set multiple dimming levels to create the mood you want for a special occasion,

the UI is fast, easy and convenient.

1.7 Remote Access

Providing your chatterbox is connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) with an internet connection, Chatterbox

allows you to remotely access your Sygnal systems remotely. This feature can be convenient for many reasons

and is achieved by a secure connection through the Sygnal Mothership (MS) global server. You first login to MS

and then browse to your various Sygnal devices connected to your MS account. Your MS account can provide

access to your Sygnal devices at multiple locations so if you are a building manager you can have access to all

your sites at your fingertips through this one convenient and simple access point.

2. How to Install your Chatterbox

There are three different methods for connecting to your chatterbox. The method you choose will depend on

your location and the type of installation you have in your building. You may either choose to install via Wi-Fi

(see 2.1) or via a LAN connection (see 2.2)

2.1 Direct Connection via Wi-Fi Dongle

Each chatterbox can create its own network via the attached Wi-Fi dongle. This means you can connect your

smart device/computer to the chatterbox network. The network name is noted on the cover sticker: SSID:

Sygnal ** ** ** where “*” is a unique number for each different chatterbox.

1. The Password noted on the cover sticker is chatterbox (Figure 1, 2, 3, 4)

2. Once connected to the chatterbox network you can open your browser and browse to the

chatterbox IP address 192.168.2.11 also noted on the cover sticker. (Figure 5, 6)

3. You may wish to bookmark the page or add a link to your home screen on your device, so that you

can press the link instead of having to refer back to the IP address each time you wish to connect.

(Figure 5)

4. Direct connection requires your personal device/PC to be within range of the chatterbox network.

As this range can vary significantly depending on building conditions, the preferred method of

connection is via a LAN as discussed in the following paragraph.

2.2 Direct Connection via your LAN

Connecting your chatterbox to your local LAN via a network cable connected from your chatterbox to your

router or a switch connected to your router is the preferred and best method for regular connection. You can

then access your chatterbox from anywhere you have LAN coverage. (Figure 7)

When a connection is made your router will assign a unique IP address to the chatterbox. You can find this IP

by checking in your router settings but we recommend you download one of the free programs for your apple

of android device such as FING (Figure 8). Such programs search your LAN and list all connected devices. This

will enable you to find your chatterbox IP, typically look something like 192.168.1.12 or similar number (Figure

9). By typing this number into your browser you will be able to access the Opening page of your chatterbox.

NOTE: Some routers ship with UPNP disabled. You should check your router instruction manual for details on

how to check this setting. Without UPNP enabled, Chatterbox cannot connect. Remember that after power

failure your router may assign a different IP number to your chatterbox. In this case you will need to scan your

network with FING or similar again to find the new IP. It is possible to set a fixed IP in your router settings

however the method varies depending on your router brand and model. Your IT specialist should be able to

help. Connecting your chatterbox to your router using a cable gives a level of access control as access can only

be achieved by persons or devices having your LAN access password.

2.3 Connection via Mothership

Providing your chatterbox is connected to your building LAN and that your LAN has an internet connection,

you can setup an account on the Mothership global server to allow remote connection to your chatterbox via

MS.

1. Open your browser and browse to https://mothership.sygnal.com.au and click the register button

on the login page. (Figure 10)

2. Fill out your registration details and we will send you your registration name and password within

24 hours together with instructions on how to access your chatterbox via the Mothership.

3. If you are within the LAN, i.e. at home and your device is connected to the same network the

chatterbox is running on, there will be a link at the bottom of the log in page titled “Your Local

Devices” with the Mac Address and system description. You can click this link to go straight to the

User Interface without having to log in. (Figure 10)

4. Once you have received notice of your User Name and Password, go to the log in page, enter the

details, then press Login.

5. The next screen that launches will have a list of your chatterboxes. (Figure 11)

6. To access the User interface for any of your systems press the Launch button on the right hand

side. This will launch the interface and you can start to control your device. (Figure 11, 12, 13)

4.2 Notes on Dynamic Energy Recovery

Your Sygnal multi zone temperature control system modulates its output capacity to match the heat load. It

continues to cool or heat individual zones until they reach the target temperature (set point). When all zones

are at target temperature, the refrigeration cycle is switched off. On a system where dynamic energy recovery

is disabled, any room can re activate cooling or heating when the temperature moves away from set point by

0.5°C. Dynamic energy recovery is a technology designed for structures that include a large central area

surrounded by perimeter rooms. The perimeter rooms lose and gain heat at a much faster rate than the

central area. The reason for this phenomenon is that the portion of external walls and roof to room volume is

significantly higher and the additional thermal mass of the central area reduces the rate at which heat is

gained or lost. The dynamic energy recovery algorithm intervenes when a perimeter zone calls for heating or

cooling, it then measures the return air temperature (positioned din the large central zone) to apply a

proprietary algorithm that calculates the flow needed to slow down the rate at which heat is gained or lost.

The slider allows the user to find the right balance for their home or building between energy reduction and

comfort. The slider moves the point at which the worst performing zone can terminate dynamic energy

recovery and force heating or cooling.

The Climatepoint zoning control system are a unique part of the Sygnal system that provides the ability to

dramatically reduce your energy bills. It is important to note that the average household uses 38% of their

power bill on heating and cooling. It is also important to note that every degree Celsius difference between the

inside temperature and the outside temperature adds 10% to the energy cost for that room. Sygnal’s multi

zone temperature control system automatically adjusts the airflow to individual rooms to make sure that

cooling and heating overshot is eliminated. There are 3 additional energy settings that are use adjustable that

decrease energy use further. This feature is most often used in combination with occupancy sensors. When

applied in this fashion you can move through your home & the system automatically turns on and off as

required.

4.3 Set the Optional Countdown Timer

Slide the “Auto Off” slider to the desired position between 30 & 240 minutes. The Auto Off timer is only used if

you wish the system to run for that period of time and then switch off. The system then requires a re start.

This feature is designed as a safe guard for properties where the air conditioning can be left on while not

required. (Figure 14 –Red Arrow). Anytime there is an on event on the system in any zone, the system will

continue to operate. This feature is most often used in combination with occupancy sensors. When applied in

this fashion you can move through your home & the system automatically turns on and off as required.

4.4 Optional “Cooling” and “Economy” settings

See figure 14 (blue arrows), use the slider bar to change.
