Before you can begin automating your hub, you must complete the setup and registration process.

Connect Your Hub

  1. Insert the USB stick (grey side up) into either USB slot.
  2. Connect your Hub to your network using the included Ethernet cable.
  3. Plug in your Hub using the included 5V power supply. There is no power switch; once you plug in your up it is powered up and you are ready to register your hub.

Note: you can improve the performance of your hub by placing it in a central location, free from metal obstructions.
