How do I connect to the KTS200 over Bluetooth, is an app download needed?
The KTS200 is used with a free web application working over Bluetooth. You do not need to download an app from any store; the connection is made through the browser. The device's broadcast name and connection password can be set by the user, so you can tell your own device apart in crowded camp sites and prevent unauthorised connections.
The connection flow is briefly as follows:
- Turn on Bluetooth on your phone or tablet.
- Open the KTS200's web application in the browser.
- Select your own caravan's broadcast name from the device list.
- Enter the connection password you have set.
- Once the connection is made, the spirit level symbol and the numerical degree value start to appear live.
This structure, which needs no store application, has practical advantages: no setup hassle when you change phones, easy temporary connection from a guest's device, and less risk of incompatibility between application version and device firmware. The device firmware can also be updated remotely and automatically (OTA).
If the connection cannot be made, check in order: is the phone's Bluetooth on, is the device powered (GRV485 supply and fuse), might the phone still be connected to another device, is the password correct. Bluetooth is a short-range connection technology; since no range figure is stated for the product, move closer to the device when you have connection problems. If the problem persists, parameter checks can be made with remote support.
