Setup and Installation

2. Wi-Fi Connection and App Setup
The siren hub connects to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. It does not support 5 GHz networks. Follow these steps to connect and set up the app:
- Download the "Smartlife" application from your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Alternatively, scan the QR code provided in the physical manual.
- Ensure your smartphone is connected to the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network that the alarm system will use.
- Open the Smartlife app and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device.
- When prompted, enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.
- Once connected, the system will be accessible via the app. Even if offline, the siren functions as a standalone alarm.

3. Sensor Placement
Strategically place the door sensors and PIR detector for optimal coverage:
- Door Sensors: Install on doors and windows. Ensure the two parts of the sensor are aligned and close to each other when the door/window is closed.
- PIR Infrared Detector: Place in areas where intruders are likely to pass, such as hallways or living rooms. The detector is designed with pet immunity to minimize false alarms from small animals.
