Wings signal strength test shows the level and stability of the Wings radio signal used to transmit large data packets between Ajax devices and the hub, such as photos from devices with photo verification and device firmware updates. Run the test to determine the best installation location for the device and ensure a stable Wings signal.
The test is available in the settings of devices that use Wings radio protocol:
Ajax app → Devices
→ [Device] → Settings
→ Wings Signal Strength Test
For more information about the test and recommended signal strength, see the user manual of the required device.
Timer and indication
In the test mode, the device communicates with the hub in real time, displaying the current signal strength in the Ajax app and simultaneously by means of LED indication.
The minimum device test time at the installation site is 1 minute. Carrying out the test before the timer completes the count is not mandatory.
Note that the test does not start instantly but at the end of the device polling period specified in the hub settings (up to 36 seconds by default).
Signal strength indication in the app | Device LED indication | Signal strength |
3 bars | The LED lights up continuously with a brief interruption (goes out for 20 ms once in 1.5 s) | Excellent |
2 bars | LED blinks quickly (5 times per second) | Satisfactory |
1 bar | LED blinks slowly (2 times per second) | Poor |
0 bars | Short-term flashes (flash 20 ms once in 1.5 s) | No connection |
Device placement
We recommend installing the device in a place with excellent or satisfactory signal strength (2-3 bars).
With poor signal strength, we cannot guarantee stable operation of the security system. To improve the signal strength, move the device, as repositioning by even 20 cm might significantly improve the quality of communication.
