Description
1Control SOLO is an electronic device that allows the operation of a radio-controlled automation, such as a gate
or a garage, using a smartphone.
Control of an automation
SOLO is able to copy the automation remote control and therefore to control it behaving like the original remote
control.
It is able to copy all fixed-coded remote controls and most rolling-code remote controls, in the 433.0 MHz to
868.0 MHz frequency bands, using the AM and FM modulations. The old low-frequency remote controls, called
quartz, are not compatible. The complete list of compatible remote controls is available on the 1Control website
or in the Complete Guide.
To control an automation, it is sufficient to copy a single remote control, it is not necessary to copy the remote
controls of all users.
SOLO communicates with smartphone using the Bluetooth LE 4 protocol. Therefore it is not necessary to have
an Internet connection to open gate and garage.
Operating distance
The max distance between SOLO and an automation to be controlled varies according to the type of radio-con-
trol used. Normally such distance is between 20 and 40 meters.
The max distance between SOLO and a smartphone varies according to the model of smartphone used and is
normally about 15-20 meters.
To maximize the range of SOLO it is advisable to place it at least 1 meter from the ground and in a place where
there are no obstacles between the user and SOLO. Reinforced concrete walls or metal boxes can weaken or
block the SOLO signal.
Operating conditions
SOLO is resistant to atmospheric agents, is rainproof, snowproof and resistant to sunrays. It is IP66 certified.
Security
When using SOLO for the first time, an 8-digit numeric PIN code must be set. This PIN must be kept secret. PIN
code holders are considered administrators of the device. It is possible to reset the PIN by performing a factory
reset of SOLO.
The SOLO administrator can invite other users to use an automation, without giving them the PIN code, using the
sharing features offered by the app.
The communication between SOLO and a smartphone is protected by latest-generation security algorithms ba-
sed on public keys and end-to-end symmetric encryption with ephemeral keys.
The communication between SOLO and an automation uses the same security algorithms as the copied remote
control. Therefore the degree of security offered in this communication is the same as that of the remote control.
Power supply
SOLO, SOLO MINI and SOLO LITE are supplied with the batteries already fitted and they are already switched on.
SOLO EVO can be powered using 1.5V alkaline type C batteries (already included in the package) or by external
power supply with voltage between 12V and 24V DC or AC. SOLO EVO has a maximum current consumption
of 100mA.
The batteries can be replaced when they are flat. SOLO keeps the copied remote controls and shared accesses
in memory even when it is not energized.
You can check the charge status of the batteries using the app.
Battery life varies according to the number of drives (openings or closures) made:
