- The Smart Home Control Panel operates on Power Over Ethernet (POE) or 12VDC only. 24VDC will damage the panel.
- Run Power: Ensure that the necessary wiring is in place at the installation location for the wall-mounted tablet. For optimal reliability, a wired network connection with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is recommended, particularly for new constructions with pre-installed network cables. The device can also be powered using a 12VDC power supply installed in the junction box closest to the screen. If you're unsure how to handle the wiring, you should consult a licensed electrician to handle this part of the installation.
- Casambi Setup: The panel uses Bluetooth to control your Casambi network. Make sure your Casambi system is fully set up. For detailed guidance on installing Casambi with your lighting, refer to the installation guide
