BLE Play Relay Control

Manual

User Manual


On first launch, the app shows a safety message.

Read this message and tap Understood to continue.

The message will not be shown again unless the app data

is deleted or the app is reinstalled.

Learning a New Relay Board


An unknown relay board must be tested before the app 

saves it.


1. Open Settings.

2. Select Connection.

3. Tap Search BLE relay boards.

4. Select the relay board from the list.

5. Enter the Generic password if needed.

6. Tap Inspect / learn selected board.

7. Then tap Test relay 1 and learn.

8. Check that relay 1 actually switches.

9. If relay 1 worked, tap Relay 1 worked - save board.

10. If relay 1 did not work, tap Relay 1 did not work.


A board is only saved after relay 1 has been successfully 

tested and confirmed.

Password for Generic BLE Boards


Some Generic FFE0 relay boards use a password or 

unlock code.


Go to:


Settings > Connection


Enter the board password under Generic password. 

This is usually a numeric code, for example 6 or 8 digits.


If the password or protocol is incorrect, the board may still 

be found, but then disconnect again or not respond to the 

relay test.

Connecting a Relay Board


1. Turn on the relay board.

2. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone.

3. Open the app.

4. Open Settings.

5. Select Connection.

6. Tap Search BLE relay boards.

7. Tap the detected relay board in the list.

8. Tap Connect to selected board.


If the board is already known, it will be activated 

immediately and the relay buttons will appear on the main 

screen.

Saved Relay Boards


Under Settings > Saved relay boards, you can see the 

boards that have been learned before.


When the app is opened again, it tries to automatically 

reconnect saved boards as soon as they are available.


The order in which boards were learned also determines the 

global relay numbers. The first learned board gets the first 

relay numbers, followed by the second board, and so on.


Example:


- An 8-relay board learned first uses relays 1 to 8.

- A 4-relay board learned after that uses relays 9 to 12.

- A 2-relay board learned after that uses relays 13 and 14.

Controlling Relays


On the main screen, you can see the relay buttons for the 

connected boards.

Tap a button to control the relay. The behavior of the button 

depends on the selected relay function.

The button color shows whether the relay is on or off 

according to the app.

Relay Functions


For each relay, you can set how the button works.

Open: Settings > Relays

Then choose the relay you want to adjust.

Hold

The relay stays active as long as you keep the button 

pressed.

As soon as you release the button, the relay switches off 

again.

Pulse

The relay switches on briefly and then automatically 

switches off again.

This function is useful when you need a short switching 

action.

Toggle

Each button press changes the state.

Press once to switch the relay on. Press again to switch it 

off.

Delayed Off

The relay switches on and then automatically switches off 

after the set delay.

You can set the delay from 0.1 to 30 seconds.

Blink

The relay switches on and off repeatedly.

You can set the blink interval from 0.1 to 5 seconds.

With Blink button only, only the button in the app will blink, 

without repeatedly switching the physical relay on and off.


Automatic Light


With automatic light control, the app can switch a relay 

based on the measured light level.


Open: Settings > Automatic Light


There you can:


- turn automatic light control on or off

- choose the relay that should switch automatically

- set the delay

- view the current light level

- use the current light level as the threshold

- adjust the threshold manually


A lower light value means less light. By setting the 

threshold, you determine when the relay should respond.

Adjusting Button Appearance and Names


Settings > Buttons


Under Settings > Buttons, you can adjust the appearance 

of the buttons.

Here you can change the button text for each relay.

The entered texts are saved and are also used when saved 

boards automatically reconnect later.

Adjusting Colors


Settings > Colors


Under Settings > Colors, you can set the background 

color and the colors for the on and off states.


This allows you to customize the controls to match your 

own style or use case.

Apple Watch


The Apple Watch app shows the same relay buttons as the 

iPhone.


To use the Apple Watch app, the iPhone app must be 

available and the data must be updated through 

WatchConnectivity.

If the Watch shows Waiting for iPhone:


1. Open the iPhone app.

2. Check that the relay boards are connected.

3. Then open the Watch app again.

4. If needed, check that the iPhone and Apple Watch are 

    properly connected.

Error Messages


The app shows messages in Settings > Connection when 

something goes wrong.


Bluetooth Is Turned Off

Turn on Bluetooth on the iPhone and try searching again.


No Board Found

Check that the relay board has power, is close enough, and 

is not already connected to another app.


Board Disconnected

Check the power supply, distance and antenna position of 

the relay board. If needed, briefly turn the board off and on 

again.


Password or Protocol Not Recognized

Check the password and try learning the board again. 

Some boards use a different protocol and may not be 

supported.

Tips


- Learn boards in the order in which you want to use them.


- Give relays clear names, such as Gate, Light, Pump or 

  Fan.


- Always test with a safe load before connecting real 

  equipment.


- Use Hold only when you want the relay to stay active only 

  while you keep the button pressed.


- Use Toggle for normal on/off control.


- Use Pulse or Delayed Off for short actions.

Support


If you experience problems, first check:


- is Bluetooth turned on?

- does the relay board have sufficient power?

- is the relay board close enough?

- is the board not connected to another app?

- is the password correct?

- was relay 1 successfully tested during learning?


If the problem continues, note the name of the relay board, 

the number of relays, the password used, and exactly what 

happens when connecting or switching.
