Tint Driver User Guide
INTRODUCTION
Each unit of Halio smart tinting glass is controlled by a Halio
Tint Driver. The Tint Driver supplies the precise power
required to achieve the desired tint level, quickly efficiently,
and reliably. The Halio Drivers are housed in the Halio
Component Cabinet.

The Tint Driver communicates with the Halio System Gateway
wirelessly using Thread. Tinting is most often automatically
controlled by the Halio cloud-based software. However, the
Tint driver also provides a local user interface for setup,
manual control, and troubleshooting.

TROUBLESHOOTING
General Troubleshooting Tips
When you do not know where to start, think small.
• Read LEDs or error codes on one device at a time.
• Manually see if you can tint or bleach the windows using
When you do not know where to start, think small.
• Read LEDs or error codes on one device at a time.
• Manually see if you can tint or bleach the windows using
the buttons on the left side of the driver.
• Try another known working driver with suspect window
or known working window with suspect driver.
• Do a continuity test with a multimeter to see if all wires
in the cables between the window and driver are good.
Trouble Scenario – Halio Glass will not tint or clear
A Halio glass panel will not respond to commands to tint or
clear from the app, keypad or other Halio interface.
Troubleshooting Steps:
To determine the root cause, try the following
troubleshooting steps:
1. Check wiring connections:
a. Check all exposed wire terminations for loose or
frayed wires.
b. Tip: While the connector is supposed to keep
cables in tight, many people will use the wires to
pull the connector out. This can sometimes
leave wires loose or expose wire.
