Before Installation

IMPORTANT: Before installation, please check that the location of the BrilliantSmart Nexus Gateway is within range of your home WiFi and the signal is strong.

The Nexus gateway requires line of sight to your infra-red devices. This means the Nexus is ideally mounted on your ceiling or wall for best range. Alternatively, it can be placed on a shelf or entertainment unit as long as there is an uninterrupted line of sight to the infra-red devices intended to be controlled.

Note: Nexus must run on its own power source. The power socket distance to be no more than 1m.

Mounting Plate Installation:

If you are mounting onto the wall/ceiling, mark the location. Drill the holes and use the screws provided to fix the mounting plate at the desired location. Mount the gateway onto the mounting plate hooks.

Alternatively, you can purchase a downlight ceiling mount kit (model 21575/06) and attach your Nexus gateway to this kit and replace one of your existing downlights with the gateway. It is recommended to use a licensed electrician as the Nexus Gateway requires its own power source (separate to your existing downlights).
