Excerpt

If you do not put a smart plug into a 'zone' on the app it is considered to be 'unassigned', and the app will have no control over the time that the outlet on the smart plug is on or off. You can use the plug 'manually' by switching the plug on or off by pressing the button on the front of it. The colour of the button will be red if the plug is on, and clear if it is off.

Please note that if you turn the plug on manually, you must remember that if the hub restarts, which it will do if the software is upgraded on it, or if there is a power cut, then the smart plug may default to the off state. Therefore, please be careful not to plug anything into it which needs to be on all of the time such as a fridge or freezer.

In order to control the timing of the outlet of the smart plug from the app, you first need to add a zone to the app to control the smart plug.

Create a zone on the app for the Smart Plug:

  • Tap on the Submenu (•••) icon in the top-right corner of the app.
  • Tap on 'Create New Zone'.
  • Enter the name of the zone (e.g. Office Fan).
  • Select the zone control type 'ON / OFF'.
  • Click 'Create'.

Add the Smart Plug to the zone:

  • Select the new zone that you have created.
  • Tap on the Submenu (•••) icon in the top-right corner of the app.
  • Tap on 'Zone Setup'.
  • Tap on 'Assign Device' at the bottom.
  • Select the Smart Plug you wish to control from the list.
    • To identify the Smart Plug you wish to control, look for the numbered sticker, normally found on the side or back of the device
  • Click 'OK'

To control the Smart Plug:

  • Tap on the zone you want to control.
  • Set up a schedule for the zone or override the zone.

If you want to manually override the smart plug by pressing the button on the front of it, you need to turn on 'Manual Override' in the Zone Setup page for that zone. You can also choose how long the manual override lasts on the app.
