Basic guidelines for setting up a Home Control network
When planning your Home Control network, consider the optimal placement of all devices with regard to the
wireless range so as to best avoid weak signals and interference sources. Drawing up a sketch may help you
to determine the desired locations of all your devices.
Weak signals due to attenuation can result from furniture, plants and especially metal objects
which are located between the devices. Possible sources of interference include electrical devices
such as a microwave or computer. In such instances, keep your device at least around 50 cm
(19 in) away from the source.
Install the Home Control devices in sequence as described with increasing distance
to the Home Control Central Unit.
