Commissioning the system
TIP: The battery-powered motion sensor in the garage (D) is a long way from
the Hub. However, the sensor can connect to the hub via the mains-powered
device being used as the garage light switch (E). This is because mains-
powered devices also act as system network extenders. Consider this when
deciding where to locate the hub.
Wi-Fi network requirements
The ELKO Smart system needs a Wi-Fi network with Internet access. The Wi-Fi
network router must meet certain requirements for the system to work.
Router requirements
The network Wi-Fi router used to host the system must conform to the following
requirements:
• The router should have an integrated firewall.
• All ELKO Smart devices should be located behind the router firewall.
• The router must support security protocol WPA2 or higher.
Connecting the smart Hub to the Internet
The Hub can be connected to the network Wi-Fi router either by using an Ethernet
cable (Ethernet mode), or by using the Wi-Fi (AP Mode).
