In Which Order Should I Proceed?

To set up your devices optimally, we recommend the following procedure in the uninstalled state. In rare cases, you may need to adapt the suggested procedure to the circumstances at hand.

tip

All mesh devices are not initially connected to the power supply. Energise the devices one after the other to make it easier to identify the devices when adding them.

Follow the steps below to set up your devices:

  1. Create network​

    Start the Connect Mesh app and switch to "Setup mode". Create a new network and give it a meaningful name, e.g. living room, seating area...

  2. Create rooms​

    Set up the rooms in which the devices of your network are located.

  3. Set up actuators​

    Set up all actuators first, i.e. (mesh boxes, ceiling lights, 2-channel interface, etc.). Only connect the device that you want to add to the network next to the power supply. In this way, only one entry will appear during the device search. The permanently powered devices that have already been set up remain connected to the power supply and already ensure a stable mesh network.

  4. Set up control devices​

    Now set up all control devices one after the other, i.e. wall switches, remote controls and sensors. Connect these to the actuators and rooms that have already been set up.

  5. Create groups​

    Set up any missing groups. Groups can be freely defined to combine single devices to controllable units, e.g. kitchen shelves, floors, etc.

  6. Create scenes​

    Set up scenes. Use the room or group control of the app to set the lights involved to the desired state.

  7. Select favorites​

    Switch to "Control mode". Set up your favorites for your home screen. This allows you to access rooms, groups, scenes and individual devices at the touch of a button.

  8. Add schedules​

    Create schedules for your installation using the time control. This allows you to control your lighting automatically at defined times and days of the week.

  9. Set up Connect Mesh Gateway​

    If you have a Connect Mesh Gateway, set it up now.

  10. Backup network​

    Make a backup of your network.

If it is not possible for you to power the devices that have not yet been installed individually, but only all at once, several devices may be listed in the app during the device search. The device names and icons already give you an indication of what type of device it is. To clearly identify a device, you can flash devices from the search list. To do this, press the button to the left of the device name. After a short connection time, the device itself and/or its status LED should flash in the same rhythm as the previously pressed button (for non-configured mesh boxes, only the status LED flashes).
