  • Preparation: Before starting, ensure you have all the necessary tools, including screwdrivers, a drill, cables, brackets, and anchors.
  • Choosing the Installation Location: Choose a spot where the panel is easily accessible but doesn’t interfere with daily activities. The control panel should be within range of your home Wi-Fi network for optimal connectivity.
  • Installing the Bracket and Wiring: Secure the mounting bracket to the wall, ensuring it’s level. Then, run the wires for power and data connections. If you're using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you can minimize cable clutter by using a single Ethernet cable to deliver both power and data.

Follow the instructions on the smart home control panel to link it with your devices like lights, thermostats, and security systems.
