Setting up the Hub
Setting-up the Wiser System
In order to be able to control the system via your smartphone, the hub must be
connected to the internet.
You can set up the Hub by using the app as Home Owner and Professional
Installer.
The app offers the Professional Installer menu for setting up a Wiser System
and adding devices without having to be logged in.
You can also setup the Wiser System by using the app as a Home Owner after
creating an account. Refer to Setting up an Account, page 32 for information
on how to create an account.
Setting up as a Professional Installer
The app offers the Professional Installer menu for setting up a Wiser System
and adding devices without having to be logged in.
NOTE: The option to act as a Professional Installer is only available if you
are logged out of the app. To log out of the app, navigate to the Account
settings, page 43 and tap Logout. To set up the Wiser System as Professional
Installer: 1. On the welcome screen, tap Get started (A).
Creating an Account
Setting-up the Wiser System
To be able to control the system from your smartphone, you need to create an
account and log in.
Once the professional installer sets up the Wiser system, they will hand it
over to the homeowner. Subsequently, the homeowner will create an account to
have control over the Wiser system. Refer to the chapter Setting-up the Wiser
System, page 12 for information on how to setup the wiser system.
If the homeowner decides to set up the Wiser system independently, they need
to begin by creating an account before proceeding with setting up the Wiser
system.
IMPORTANT: Only a Home Owner has access to create an account.

password. · Use a long password. It should contain at least six characters;
longer passwords help increase security. · Do not use a password that you have
already assigned for another service. · If possible, include numbers, special
characters and differences in upper and lower case. · Change the password

Additional Information
About Signal Strength
Zigbee signal strength or RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) indicates the signal quality between your devices and the Wiser Hub. The Closer the RSSI value is to 0, the better the signal. For example, an RSSI of -50dBm is a good signal, while an RSSI of -80dBm indicates poor signal.
Signal Strength Indicator
There is four different levels of signal strength: Good Signal (between 0 &
-54dBm) Normal Signal (between -54 & -79dBm) Poor Signal (<-79dBm) No Signal
(device is offline)
Cause of Poor Signal
Connectivity issues can be caused by various factors, such as: · Distance
between the Wiser Hub and devices – the signal becomes weaker as the devices
move farther apart. · Physical Obstructions – doors, walls, furniture,
household appliances, especially with metal surfaces, and other electronic
devices can weaken the Zigbee signal.
Troubleshooting
1. Place the Wiser Hub into open space. 2. Make sure you check if all powered
devices are switched on and working
normally. 3. If possible, move the Wiser Hub closer to the device with signal
issues. 4. Try to remove any physical obstructions between the Wiser Hub and
the
device with poor or no signal.
