5.3. Connecting with a ZigBee Gateway (Network Connection)

To use the controller with a smart home system (e.g., SmartThings, Alexa, Google Home via hub), follow these steps:

  1. Connect the controller to the power source correctly.
  2. Use your ZigBee gateway's app to initiate device search. Wait for a certain period.
  3. If the gateway doesn't find the controller, try powering off and on the controller again, or reset the controller (see Section 7. Troubleshooting).
  4. Once the gateway finds the controller, add it to the specified room or group within the app.
  5. After successful network connection, you can start using the controller via the gateway.
