How to get started with multiple devices through network pairing?#

Device reset

On a powered-off device, hold down the main button until the light turns purple.

Network pairing

1. Make sure all devices are reset.
2. Pair the first All-In-One Controller 2.0 with the Powered Up remote. (this first device will serve as the network hub / main device)
3. Press the button once on the next device while holding down the button on the first All-In-One Controller 2.0, and observe the second device – its light should stay solid.
4. Repeat the same process for each additional device, pairing each one with the first All-In-One Controller 2.0.

When pairing additional devices, speed increases the chance of success.

Increasing the number of devices controlled by the remote and advanced functions#

A single remote control normally allows you to operate only four other devices.

However, by having an additional remote control, you can also create a new, separate network. To do this, all devices that will be part of the new network, including the remote, must be reset. This can be done by powering on each device while holding down its button. After a few seconds, when the button is still held, the indicator light will start flashing purple. This indicates that the previous network identifier has been forgotten and the device has been reset. The button can then be released. Having a Trixbrix wireless device makes it possible to control up to eight devices with just one remote. To achieve this, the key is to pay attention to the order in which devices are powered on. The first device that connects to the remote becomes the "central unit" and manages the other devices added to the network.

Therefore, after turning on the remote control, you should first power on one Trixbrix wireless device. It will then act as the "central unit" and enable control of a larger number of devices. If the remote is first connected to an original Hub, then after pairing four devices it will no longer be possible to add more.

Can I control multiple boom barriers with a single All-In-One Controller 2.0?#

Yes! Using splitter cables, you can connect up to four boom barriers to a single All-In-One Controller 2.0. Two Train Detectors handle the automatic operation - one lowers all barriers when a train approaches, and the other raises them after the train passes. This setup is ideal for layouts with multiple level crossings, as it significantly reduces the number of components needed.

The diagram below shows the wiring for a 4-barrier setup using 3 splitter cables:

Connecting multiple devices to All-In-One Controller 2.0 outputs#

Up to 10 lights or boom barriers can be connected to a single output using splitter cables.

In Remote Mode or via the app, you can connect up to 8 servos for switches.

In Automatic Mode, you can connect up to 4 servos for switches.
