Automatically Add Devices
January 12, 2023
- Tap Add Device or the plus icon (+) in the top right corner of the Home page to go to the device adding page. On the Add Device tab that appears, devices can be automatically found or manually added. To automatically add devices, the app must be granted Wi-Fi and Bluetooth permissions.
- This method enables simultaneous searching for multiple devices, including Wi-Fi devices, Bluetooth gateways, Bluetooth mesh devices, Zigbee gateways, and Zigbee devices connected to the gateway. All devices found can be added with one tap.
- If the search times out and no devices are found, follow the instructions to troubleshoot the issue and try again, or try to manually add devices.
- In this mode, enable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for searching for devices. Wi-Fi devices can be found only when Wi-Fi is enabled. Nearby Bluetooth devices can be found only when Bluetooth is enabled.
- Tap Turn on Wi-Fi or Turn on Bluetooth to enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth as instructed.
- If a gateway has been added to the app, it can be automatically recognized to pair associated sub-devices. If multiple gateways exist, a dialogue box appears for the user to choose among these gateways.
- To accelerate pairing with Bluetooth devices, the app supports the automatic discovery of nearby Bluetooth devices. Once the Home page is opened, the app automatically searches for Bluetooth devices pending pairing and shows discovered Bluetooth devices in a dialogue box.
- The user can choose Do not add or Go to add to determine whether to add these Bluetooth devices. Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled and the Bluetooth devices are pending pairing during scanning.
- When the indicators on Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth devices are blinking quickly, these devices can be added in the Auto Scan method. To use this method, prepare a Wi-Fi network. Only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks are supported.
