The Homematic IP Wall-mount Remote Control (HMIP-WRC2-A) is a battery-operated, 2-button wireless remote control designed for central control of Homematic IP devices. It can be mounted on various surfaces using adhesive strips or screws and is compatible with many standard switch frames.
Device overview
The device consists of the following main components:
- A: Clip-on frame
- B: Remote control (electronic unit)
- C: Channel 1 (On/Eco mode)
- D: System button (Teach-in button and LED)
- E: Channel 2 (Off/Automatic mode)
- F: Mounting plate
Installation and mounting
You can mount the device using the supplied adhesive strips or screws. Ensure the mounting surface is smooth, solid, clean, and dry.
Adhesive strip mounting
- Fix the adhesive strips (G) to the back of the mounting plate (F) in the marked areas.
- Remove the protective film.
- Press the assembled remote control firmly against the wall.
Screw mounting
- Position the mounting plate (F) on the wall and mark the bore holes (I).
- Drill the holes (5 mm for stone walls, 1.5 mm for wooden walls).
- Fasten the mounting plate using the supplied plugs and screws (K).
- Attach the clip-on frame (A) and insert the remote control (B).
First start and teach-in
- Open the Homematic IP app on your smartphone.
- Select the menu item "Teach-in device".
- Remove the remote control (B) from the frame and insert two 1.5 V LR03/micro/AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- The teach-in mode is active for 3 minutes. If needed, press the system button (D) to restart the mode.
- Follow the app instructions to confirm the device by entering the last four digits of the SGTIN or scanning the QR code.
Eco mode
Eco mode allows you to reduce the temperature in your home to save energy. You can configure the rooms, target temperature, and duration for Eco mode directly within the Homematic IP app.
Battery replacement
If the app displays an empty battery, replace the two LR03/micro/AAA batteries. Pull the remote control (B) out of the frame, remove the old batteries, and insert new ones with the correct polarity. The device will perform a self-test after insertion.
Troubleshooting
The device uses LED signals to indicate status:
- Short orange flashing: Transmission in progress.
- 1x long green: Transmission confirmed.
- 1x long red: Transmission failed (check receiver or radio interference).
- 3x long red: Duty cycle limit exceeded (wait up to 1 hour).
