Installation
We recommend placing the Home automation hub in an open
centrally located area within the home, and using the included
wall mount to attach the Home automation hub to a standard
single gang box.
The Home automation hub should not be mounted in a
structured enclosure, panel, or closet. If the Home automation
hub is placed in a closed off area, the wireless signal strength
may be compromised.
Note:
To prevent radio frequency (RF) interference, we
recommend that you place the Home automation hub away
from devices that may cause interference and away from
grounded metals.
