Accessory Manager
In the Accessory Manager you add and configure devices connected to your SmartCore inputs, outputs and DALI bus.
Adding a Device
- Open the Web Interface of your SmartCore and go to Accessory Manager
- Click the + icon
- Select the device type
- Enter a name for the accessory
- Assign the relay output, digital input or DALI address where the device is connected
- Configure any accessory-specific settings (see the sections below)
- Click Save Configuration once all accessories are added
- Reboot the SmartCore
Input modes
Most accessories share the same digital-input options. Sensor-style accessories such as the Contact Sensor and Motion Sensor only expose Inverted. The Garage accessory uses Close or Open instead.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Switch | A regular two-position wall switch. Each flip toggles the accessory. |
| Momentary | A push-button. Triggers the accessory each time it is pressed, not when it is released. |
| Inverted | Reverses the input logic. Use when the wiring is flipped, or when your contact is normally closed instead of normally open. |
| Stateful | Tracks the constant position of the input instead of looking for changes. Use for sensors that hold a state, such as a door contact that stays closed. |

INFO
Matter is an evolving standard. Device type support is continuously expanding. For device categories not yet covered by Matter (such as garage doors), the Atios SmartCore continues to support Apple HomeKit.
DALI
DALI Light
Exposes a DALI lighting ballast as a Matter or HomeKit dimmable light.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | DALI address of the ballast. Ballasts that do not appear must be addressed in the DALI Configurator first. |
| Inputs (DALI²) | Optional. Trigger from a DALI-2 wall button. |
DALI Relay
Switches a non-dimmable load via a DALI-addressed relay device on the DALI bus.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | DALI address of the relay device. Relays that do not appear must be addressed in the DALI Configurator first. |
Lighting & Power
Lightbulb
A light wired to a SmartCore relay output.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | Relay (Output 01 to 12). The Inverted flag treats the relay as Normally Closed. |
| Turn off after | Optional auto-off delay in milliseconds. 0 disables the timer. |
Motor Control
Drives a motorised load (for example a fan or pump) using three relays for Up, Down, and Stop, with matching physical inputs.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Inputs | One input each for Up, Down, Stop. Pick Switch or Momentary for all three. |
| Outputs | One relay each for Up, Down, Stop. |
| Runtime | Total motor travel time in milliseconds. Default 20 000 ms. |
| Toggle stop relay before up or down | Pulses the Stop relay briefly before reversing direction. |
| Inching relay | Hold-to-run. The output is active only while the input is held. |
Outlet
A wall socket wired to a SmartCore relay output.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | Relay (Output 01 to 12). The Inverted flag treats the relay as Normally Closed. |
| Turn off after | Optional auto-off delay in milliseconds. 0 disables the timer. |
Programmable Switch
A virtual switch input you assign in your smart home app (Apple Home, Google Home, and others) to trigger scenes or control other accessories. The accessory has no outputs.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Inputs | Wired digital input (Input 01 to 12) or a DALI-2 button. See Input modes. |
After saving, open your Home app and assign the switch to an automation or scene.
Switch
Generic on/off switch wired to a SmartCore relay output. Use it for any non-lighting load that needs a simple on/off Matter representation, such as ventilation or heaters.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | Relay (Output 01 to 12). The Inverted flag treats the relay as Normally Closed. |
| Turn off after | Optional auto-off delay in milliseconds. 0 disables the timer. |
Blinds & Shutters
Shutter
Motorised shutters and blinds with directional up and down movement. Inputs and outputs can be onboard relays and inputs, or DALI-2 devices.
Inputs
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| NONE | No physical input. Control from the app only. |
| ONBOARD | Onboard digital inputs for Up and Down. Pick Switch or Momentary. |
| DALI2 BUTTON | DALI-2 button by Address. Pick Switch or Momentary. |
Outputs
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| NONE | No physical output. |
| ONBOARD | Onboard relays for Up and Down (typically Relay 1 and Relay 2). |
| DALI2 BLINDS | DALI-2 blinds address. Optional invert direction flag. |
Options
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Runtime Lift | Full open or close travel time in milliseconds. Default 30 000 ms. |
| Runtime Tilt | Slat tilt time from −90 to +90 degrees in milliseconds. Default 1 100 ms. Set to 0 if your shutter has no slats. |
Climate
Valve
A water valve or similar single-relay actuator with a Matter-aware valve category.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | Relay output. The Inverted flag treats the relay as Normally Closed. |
| Valve Type | Matter sub-category (see table below). |
Valve Type
| Type | Use case |
|---|---|
| Generic Valve | Any on/off valve that does not fit the categories below |
| Irrigation | Garden, sprinkler, drip systems |
| Shower Head | Shower control |
| Water Faucet | Tap or faucet control |
Sensors
Contact Sensor
Detects the open or closed state of a dry-contact sensor such as a door, window, or magnetic reed.
Setup
The input modal only exposes Inverted. Contact sensors report state, not button events.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Inverted | Reports closed when the input is HIGH (default: closed when LOW). |
Motion Sensor
Detects motion via a PIR or motion sensor.
Setup
The input modal only exposes Inverted. Motion sensors report state, not button events.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Inverted | Reports no-motion when the input is HIGH (default: motion when HIGH). |
Security & Access
Garage Door
Garage-door opener with an impulse output and at least one contact sensor for state feedback. Labelled Garage in the Web Interface.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Sensors | At least one is required. The input modal asks Close or Open instead of Switch / Momentary, depending on what your reed contact signals when the door is in that position. |
| Outputs | Pick Single relay control (one impulse output that triggers the opener) or One relay for open, another for close (two separate impulse outputs). |
| Runtime | Total open or close time in seconds. The SmartCore uses this together with the sensors to compute current state. |
| Garage has a stop state | Check this if your opener cycles OPENING, STOPPED, CLOSING with each impulse instead of just OPEN and CLOSED. |
Sensor input modal
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Close | Pick this if your reed contact reports an active signal when the door is closed. |
| Open | Pick this if your reed contact reports an active signal when the door is open. |
| Inverted | Reverses the above reading. Use if the sensor reports the opposite of what you expect. |
Lock
Motorised door-lock actuator via a SmartCore relay output, with an optional wired status input.
Setup
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Output | Relay output. The Inverted flag treats the relay as Normally Closed. |
| Inching lock time | Auto-release delay in milliseconds. The relay automatically turns off after this delay, simulating an impulse-style lock release. Leave at 0 for static on/off. |
| Inputs | Optional. Wire a doorbell button or status feedback. See Input modes. |
