Commissioning the system
Overview of system commissioning
To commission the system, first install the hub and devices, and then configure the
system using the app.
System commissioning involves these steps.
Install and test devices. See Installing and testing devices, page 18
Check that the home Wi-Fi network meets
system requirements and connect the hub.
See Wi-Fi network requirements, page 19 and
Connecting the smart Hub to the Internet, page

See Making devices work together, page 34
Once these steps are completed, the system is ready to use.
Installing and testing devices
Install and test light switches, dimmers, sensors and other devices before using
the ELKO Smart app to configure the ELKO Smart system.
1. Follow the instructions in the user manual supplied with each device. (See
Supported devices, page 10.)
2. Ensure that the batteries in battery-powered devices are installed and in good
condition. (Refer to the device instructions for low battery indications.)
Selecting a location for the smart Hub
The Hub is the central controller of the system and must be within range of all
devices in order for the system to work properly.
The ideal location for the hub is determined by the following:
• Layout of the building where the system is installed
• Location of other devices that will be used in the system
Referring to the next diagram, it is most important to locate the Hub (A) as central
as possible to the area occupied by all mains-powered devices (B), such as
switches and dimmers. Proximity to battery-powered devices (C) should also be
considered in context with the tip mentioned after the diagram.
