Usage tips:
Battery Optimisation: Some phones will shut down the Gallagher Mobile Connect app for Battery Optimisation. If you wish to use background access, we recommend disabling optimisation for the Mobile Connect App. Battery Optimisation is found under your Android phone Settings.

NFC: NFC uses a lot less battery and is generally faster and more reliable than Bluetooth, however it is still affected by Battery Optimisation. If you do use NFC, we recommend changing Bluetooth Background Access to ‘No Background Bluetooth’. This setting is found under Settings, found by clicking on the Cogs in the top right of the App.

Background Bluetooth: Bluetooth while less reliable and slower than NFC, it has range advantages. NFC’s range is centimeters, BLE can be configured to up to 100 meters (based on the Gallagher T Series readers configuration in Gallagher Command Centre). Configure the background settings under the ‘Bluetooth Background Access’ to the option that works best for your device, the hint text on this screen will guide you through the different modes.

Access Tab: This screen lists all the Readers that are in Bluetooth range of your phone. Generally, you should not need to click on the reader’s name to gain access, however in some cases when the ‘Auto connect’ range does not work for your device, it is quicker just to tap the reader’s name to start a ‘Manual connect’ access attempt. Ask your site administrator about the T Series readers connection range if ‘Auto Connect’ range needs adjusting.

Actions Button: The Actions button is used for special actions configured in Gallagher Command Centre Server. Examples: Turning on and off lights, turning on and off air-conditioning, or disarming and arming alarm zones.

For more usage tips see examples under Help in the App.
