Selecting the mounting location
The Hub is the controller of the system and must be within
a range of all devices in order for the system to work properly.
The ideal location for the Hub is determined by the following:
-
Layout of the building where the system is installed
-
Location of other devices that will be used in the system
General Instructions for Hub and Device Mounting
Referring to the diagram, it is most important to locate the Hub (A) as central as possible to the area occupied by all mains-powered devices (B), such as switches and dimmers. Proximity to battery-powered devices (C) should also be considered in context with the tip mentioned after the diagram.
TIP: The battery-powered
motion sensor in the garage (D) is a long way from the
Hub. However, the sensor can connect to the hub via the main-powered
device being used as the garage light switch (E). This
is because mains-powered devices also act as system network extenders.
Consider this when deciding where to locate the Hub.
PowerTag Mounting Requirements
The Wiser Hub (A) is recommended to be installed within 3 meters of PowerTag (B) devices to ensure the strong connection.
