You can now connect to your SmartSpeed Pro gates in the SmartSpeed Plus app. Similar to the workflow in the SmartSpeed app, this is done by connecting your SmartHub to your iOS device, then connecting the Pro timing units to the SmartHub.
Before you begin
You must update your SmartHub firmware to connect to the SmartSpeed Plus app.
Set up your gates
Turn on your SmartHub and all SmartSpeed Pro timing units.
It is highly recommended to align each timing unit with a reflector when turned on. If the unit is not aligned correctly it will emit a high-pitched beeping sound.
Connect to your SmartHub
- Open the SmartSpeed Plus app and log in using your VALD credentials.
- Click Connect device.
- Choose your SmartHub as your primary device - this will return you to the home screen.
Connect to your Pro timing gates
After connecting to your SmartHub, this will automatically connect any SmartSpeed Pro gates that are on the same channel. To check that all of your gates are connected, click the Bluetooth icon in the top-right, or in the menu bar.
Can't see all of your gates?
Your missing gates may be on a different channel. Click the "Search for all channels" button and the SmartHub will cycle through each channel looking for gates.
If your missing gates appear, select them and click Connect. This will automatically update the missing gates to the same channel as your SmartHub.
Set up your drill
- After you've confirmed that all of your gates are connected, click Start a session.
- Set up your session by choosing your Drill type, Drill name, and other settings. When ready, click Review gates layout.
- To set up your gate order, you will need to physically pass through each gate in order, then click Confirm in-app.
- Select the relevant profiles for the athletes that will be completing the drill. You can choose a specific Group that you have previously set up in VALD Hub or click into the Profiles tab to select athletes individually.
- Click Add to queue and review your athlete list in the queue.
- You can reorder your athletes at this stage, or remove a profile from the current queue*.
* This will only remove the athlete from the current queue, not from the group in VALD Hub.
Click and drag to reorder. | Click orange X to remove. |
- Click Confirm when you are ready to begin your session. You will then see the name of your first athlete appear in the SmartSpeed Plus app.
- When your first athlete is lined up at the starting gate and ready to begin the drill, click Ready to arm the timing gates. After they break the beam on the first gate, their time will begin.
- Once the athlete breaks the final gate in the drill, the time will cease and by displayed in the app. If you have more than one athlete in your queue, the next athlete will then be displayed if you have set the profile selection to automatic.
- When you are ready to end your session, click the pause button, then click Finish.
