Connect The E-Wand To A Zigbee Network; Set Up The Current Products Corp. Bridge With The Mycurtains App - Current E-WAND Installation Manual And User's Manual

Connecting the E-Wand to
a zigbee network
The E-Wand can be paired to the Current Products Corp. bridge or to a third
party Zigbee hub. If you are using a third party bridge, use the manufacturers
instructions for setup, then follow their instructions for adding devices, then
to put the E-Wand into Zigbee Pairing Mode, press and release the E-Wand
programming button three times. The E-Wand should start slowly beeping
to confirm it is looking for a network. When the E-Wand successfully joins a
Zigbee network it will play Ode to Joy. If the E-Wand instead plays Beethoven's
5th, the E-Wand failed to join a Zigbee network.
About Mesh Networks
Mesh Networks are a web of connected devices that self heal when a unit
becomes disconnected from the network. Zigbee is a communication protocol
that creates a mesh network. Within a Zigbee mesh network, there are "router
nodes" and "end nodes". "Router nodes" repeat a signal and are usually
hardwired for power. "End nodes" do not repeat a signal and are usually
battery powered. E-Wands are "end nodes" so while they will communicate
with each other, they will not communicate with other non-E-Wand devices.

If you would like to set up the E-Wand onto a mesh network using the CPC
Bridge WITHOUT WiFi, please proceed to the next section (pg. 30).
If you have not yet installed your E-Wands, please do so now.
1. Download the App
Download the Current Products Corp. app (MyCurtains) from the Google Play

2. Power the Bridge
Find an outlet in a location central to the
devices you are installing in the home.
Insert the micro-usb end of the included
power cable into the power port on the
bridge. Plug the other end of the cable
into an outlet [Fig. 7.1]. Place the bridge
at least 2ft off the ground.
The LEDs on the bottom of the bridge
[Fig. 7.2] will be solid red and solid green
during start up. The LEDs will then turn
solid red.
