ASTmobile – program operation mode
The ASTmobile application allows you to select two possible modes of operation:
This panel allows you to mark the position “Remember my choice” so that during subsequent launches of the application this screen will be omitted, and the program will go to the previously selected option. |
ASTmobile – available drivers
This screen lists all available AST mini drivers within the range of your phone. The range of an AST mini driver in open space is about 20 m. The search time for drivers can take up to 60 seconds, but of course, when the desired driver appears in the list, you can select this item and go to work with the driver.

START
The Start screen is one of the main application screens and contains the following parameters:

Service switch-on
The service switch-on screen allows to set the operation mode of the A and B outputs, there are three possible modes of the output operation:
The service switching screen is dedicated for any staff dealing with lighting preservation/ maintenance, from this screen you can easily switch on/off the output, or switch on for a specified time, being sure that after a selected time the output will go into the automatic mode. |
Banks
This screen contains a list of all saved banks. A bank is a set of parameters defining the rules of controlling the work of driver outputs and input. From this screen you can perform the following actions:
|
Output
The Output A and Output B screens are responsible for configuring the operation of the A and B outputs. The following parameters can be entered/modified from these screens:
For the ASTmidi factory settings (for the 12:00 to 12:00 day) switching periods from Monday to Sunday are set identically T1 start: Astro, T1 stop: Astro, which means that every day the lighting will be switched on at sunset + switch-on correction time, and switched off at sunrise + switch-off correction time. Depending on the selected mode of operation, the switch-on/off corrections may have a different value at certain times of the year. |
Output part 2
For the ASTmidifactory settings (for the 00:00 to 00:00:00 day) the switching intervals from Monday to Sunday are set identically T1,T2,T3,T4 Start : 00:00:00:00 , T1,T2,T3,T4 Stop : 00:00:00:00, which means that the outputs will be permanently disabled. Configuring the switching periods, e.g. for Monday below the intervals, there is a “Save to the following” button, using it will rewrite the configuration of intervals from Monday to the remaining days of the week. If the configuration of the B output is to be identical to the A output, at the very bottom of the A output configuration screen there is a “Move settings from A to B” button, using it will move the configuration of the A output to the B output. Similarly, the same action can be performed by moving the configuration of the B output to the A output. |
Input
The Input 1 screen is responsible for configuration of the controller input mode. On this screen it is possible to change the operating mode, the input can operate in one of the three configurations below:
Regardless of the selected input operation mode, each change of the input status is recorded in the controller. For example, if no mode is assigned to the input, it can be used as e.g. recording the opening/ closing of a lighting cabinet door. |
Exceptions
You can perform the following actions on the exceptions screen:
Up to 20 exceptions can be added to the ASTmidi. Exceptions which date of execution has already passed are marked on the list as “Exception overdue”. Such exceptions can be removed or edited, e.g. in order to become valid for the next year. |
Reports
The Report screen contains a list of all recorded events. The ASTmini driver allows you to record up to 100 events, it records the following events:
Each recorded event has an exact date and time of occurrence. |
Map
This screen contains ASTmidi located on the map, to which the user has connected by means of his phone. The map with the location of drivers is a very good inventory tool for services dealing with lighting maintenance, e.g. in case of periodic lighting control under a selected cabinet with the driver we can check on the map which cabinets we have nearby to optimally organize the route. |
