Getting Started with Your Smart Home
Welcome to Your New Smart Home
Congratulations on your new Centrol.io smart home system! This guide will walk you through the basics of setting up and using your new smart home features.
1. Setting Up Your Hub
The first step is to set up your smart home hub. This central device will control all of your smart home components.
- Plug in your hub to a central location in your home
- Download the Centrol.io app on your smartphone
- Follow the in-app instructions to connect your hub to your Wi-Fi network
2. Connecting Your Devices
Once your hub is set up, you can start connecting your smart devices:
- In the app, select "Add Device"
- Choose the type of device you're adding (e.g., smart light, thermostat, security camera)
- Follow the specific instructions for each device type
3. Creating Routines
Routines allow you to automate multiple actions with a single command:
- In the app, go to "Routines" and select "Create New Routine"
- Choose a trigger (e.g., time of day, device status, or voice command)
- Select the actions you want to occur (e.g., turn on lights, adjust thermostat)
- Name your routine and save
4. Using Voice Commands
If you've set up a voice assistant, you can control your smart home with voice commands:
- "Turn on the living room lights"
- "Set the thermostat to 72 degrees"
- "Start my 'Good Morning' routine"
