Adding a Weight Scale to the System

All Wellness Devices require a Bluetooth Antenna to communicate with the touchscreen. These devices can be added through the Setup Wizard on the touchscreen or manually through the Online Care Portal.

Through the Touchscreen Setup Wizard

The first time you turn on a new system, the Setup Wizard will start automatically and guide you through setting up your Wellness Devices.
This is the easiest way to add devices, as the system will guide you through the setup process step-by-step.

If you are adding a device to an already configured system, see the Setup Wizard page for instructions on re-starting the Wizard.

Manually Pairing the A&D UC-351PBT-Ci and UC-351PBT-Ci Weight Scales

The A&D UC-351PBT-Ci and UC-351PBT-Ci weight scales require an additional step to complete pairing of the device.

At the Touchscreen, touch the "Settings" Button.
Enter the System PIN.
Press the "Devices" button.
Press the Weight Scale in the Devices list - the Weight Scale Details Screen will appear.
Touch the "Pair Device" button.
Follow the directions on the screen: Press and hold the power button on the device until "Pr" appears, then release the power button.
Press and release the power button again.
The device will display "End" and turn off.
Remove, then reinstall the batteries into the device.
The device will now show "Pr" on the display.
Press the "OK" button on the touchscreen to start pairing.
Wait while it pairs - you will see a Success Message when pairing is complete.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble adding the weight scale to the system.

Make sure you have the Bluetooth Antenna set up correctly.
Make sure you have entered the device Serial Number and Bluetooth ID correctly.
Make sure you have selected the correct device type and model.
Make sure that this weight scale is not configured on any other systems in Bluetooth range.

-With the wireless, Bluetooth enable scale, your loved one can weight him or herself, and the reading will be recorded automatically in the GrandCare system. The process operates completely wirelessly. Caregivers can log in to see the weight readings, and to set up rules, for example to alert caregivers when a reading has been taken, or to remind the loved one if a reading hasn't been taken at the expected time.<br /><br />

+A weight scale can be added to the system to record weight readings.<br /> The weight scale is battery-operated and Bluetooth-enabled to communicate wirelessly with the system.<br />
-There is one particular model of weight scale that can be integrated with a GrandCare system, the A&D Medical brand UC-321PBT Precision Scale. It is battery-operated, and communicates with the system wirelessly via Bluetooth. As part of the installation process, a [[Bluetooth Antenna Configuration|Bluetooth antenna will be installed]], and the [[Add a Weight Scale|weight scale will be paired with your system]], so that the signals are picked up properly. It will also be assigned to the resident(s) who will be using it, so that readings will be recorded for the correct person. This is typically done for you by your GrandCare installer.<br /><br />

+==Troubleshooting==
-You can set up rules to alert caregivers when a reading is taken, or if a scheduled reading is not taken. To add a rule:
+If you are having trouble adding the weight scale to the system.
-* [[Logging In|Log in to GCManage]]
+<br />
-* Open the [[Care Menu|Care Menu]]
+:* Make sure you have the [[Bluetooth Antenna]] set up correctly.
-* Click the "Wellness" button
+:* Make sure you have entered the device Serial Number and Bluetooth ID correctly.
-* In the Wellness Rules section, click the "Add New Rule" button<br /><br />
+:* Make sure you have selected the correct device type and model.
+:* Make sure that this weight scale is not configured on any other systems in Bluetooth range.
-There are two parts to each rule, a condition and an action. On the first screen, choose the condition. Your rule can be triggered:
+<br />
-* Whenever a weight reading is taken
+<br />
-* If a weight reading isn't taken between a particular time range
+<br />
-* If a weight reading isn't taken all day<br /><br />
+<br />
-Once you have defined the condition, you need to set the action. Possible actions include contacting a single caregiver, all caregivers, or a [[Call List|Call List]]. The types of contact include:
-* Email
-* Text message
-* Phone call to home, work or cell phone
-* Phone call to a [[Call List|Call List]]<br /><br />
-Examples of rules might be:
-* If a weight reading is taken, email all caregivers, so they can view the reading
-* If a weight reading isn't taken before noon, text an adult child who can remind the parent
-* If a weight reading isn't taken at a set time, phone the loved one with a reminder - only caregivers can receive alerts from rules, but a loved one can easily be added as a caregiver for this purpose<br /><br />
-Multiple rules can be triggered for any event, so that multiple types of alerts can be sent out, for example both phone calls and emails.<br /><br />
-A checkbox next to the rule lets you set whether the rule is enabled or disabled. It might make sense to turn off a rule while your loved one is on vacation, so that alerts won't be sent out during that time. You can disable a rule by unchecking the box. When you're ready for the rule to be active again, just check the Enabled checkbox again, and then save the rule settings.<br /><br />
