Product Information
Full details
The HESTIA Wireless Remote Controller (HS-01-Rcl) is designed for homeowners who prioritize quick, tactile access to their security system without relying solely on smartphone apps. Its primary benefit is the ability to instantly arm, disarm, or trigger an SOS alarm from anywhere within range, providing peace of mind during daily comings and goings; however, note that it requires an existing HESTIA Control Panel or Cube Gateway to function, as it is not a standalone security device.

FAQs
Does the remote work without a HESTIA gateway?
No, the HS-01-Rcl requires a HESTIA Control Panel or Cube Gateway to process its commands.
How do I trigger the SOS alarm?
Press and hold the dedicated SOS button on the remote for approximately three seconds to ensure the signal is registered by the hub.
Can I use this with other smart home systems?
The device is proprietary to the HESTIA ecosystem and is not compatible with third-party hubs like Zigbee or Z-Wave controllers.
How do I replace the battery?
Slide open the back casing of the remote using a small screwdriver or the provided notch to reveal and replace the internal coin-cell battery.
What is the operating range?
The operating range is typically up to 30 meters indoors, though this can vary based on wall materials and home layout.
Troubleshooting
Remote fails to arm or disarm the system
Check if the remote is within the effective wireless range of the HESTIA Gateway and ensure the battery has sufficient charge.
Device is not detected during pairing
Ensure the HESTIA Gateway is in 'Pairing Mode' and that the remote is within 3 feet of the hub during the initial handshake.
Accidental button presses
Store the remote in a dedicated pocket or pouch to prevent incidental contact with keys or other objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your remote, access your HESTIA control hub settings via the mobile application and select the 'Add Device' function. Put the remote into pairing mode according to the included manual, and the gateway will automatically detect the signal. This device is exclusively compatible with HESTIA brand Control Panels and Cube Gateways; it will not work with third-party security systems. For care, keep the remote dry and avoid extreme temperatures. If you notice the LED response becoming sluggish, it is an indicator that the internal battery may need replacement.
