Setting up your SOFIHUB home
Turn the device on and attach the included aerial to the back of the unit,
this will be inside the box under the first layer of sensors.
After a few moments the device will greet you with a welcome chime indicating
that the device is now ready to be set up.

Subscribe to monthly monitoring fee
One device = $20.00 per month. This covers usage of the included sim card and all online portal access.
Activating the sensors
Remove the cover from the back of the sensor, hold the batteries in place and remove the plastic tab. Place the cover back on and set the sensor down next to the hub. Repeat for all sensors. A light will appear on the front of the sensor indicating that it is in working order.
Turn on Occupancy Mode
Through the portal, turn on occupancy mode (for testing). This can be found under Settings in the Advanced Tab. The hub will announce when it detects movement in a room.
Installing and testing the sensors
It is important that the positioning of the sensors are carefully considered and correctly placed in the occupant’s home. The sensors come with covers to ensure that there is no unwanted triggering of the sensors.
Sensor trigger area
Please note that the illustrations are not to scale and is simply a visual
demonstration of the sensor placement and covers in effect.
Ensure that the sensors are placed facing away from any windows as bright lights can trigger the sensors.
PET COVER
If the occupant has pets, this cover will ensure that they will not trigger
the sensors.
TRANSIT COVER
Transit sensors are located in doorways and should only trigger when someone
walks through the doorway
Sensors and spaces
Settings > Sensors & Spaces This is where you can see all your current sensors and the spaces (or rooms) they are located within the home. You can add new sensors and allocate them to rooms, replace them, or delete them. A sensor must be allocated to a space.
Complete testing
