Add device

    Start the Houseper app. At first launch:

1. Wait for the initial configuration to complete.
   
2. Email Configuration Dialog - Enter the email on which you want to get information from your controller. If you do not want to receive emails, leave the email box blank and select "Do not ask me again". You can skip this dialog and leave it for later. For advanced setup, select E-mail Settings on the Settings tab.

1. Controller Input Dialog - If you are planning to connect to your home automation system using a smartphone/tablet, enter a name and leave the remote access checked. If you choose to skip this configuration, you can do it later from Remote Control, Settings tab.

Add device

    Get to know the device instructions you want to add. Different devices join in different ways - it could be by pressing and holding a button for a while, repeatedly switching on and off the power, removing and putting the battery, etc. Normally, when the device is new and has never been added to the Zigbee network, it's enough to just switch it on.

    Once you have carefully read the device instructions follow next steps:

1. If the device is battery-operated, make sure they are properly installed.
2. In case the device has been added to other Zigbee networks previously reset it. If there are no explicit instructions for reset in your device's manual, follow ones for leaving the network. This is usually enough to reset the device.
3. Select Add device in the Houseper or Houseper mobile application, Settings tab - the controller will open your Zigbee network for new devices joining in the next 60 seconds.
4. Follow the join network instructions of your device.
5. After the device is successfully added to the controller, "New device found!" will appear on the Houseper application screen
6. Please wait until the controller discovers the full functionality of the device. Undiscovered devices remain at the top of the list in the Houseper apps section. In the discovering process, you can track how the device name and information changes depending on the information collected by the controller. You can also monitor the appearance of more than one device when the physical device contains more than one logical devices.
7. When the device is fully discovered it will appear in the Houseper mobile application.

    After the device was successfully joined to the Zigbee network, you can access its detailed information, change its name, set a room, and test its features. More information you can find in the Devices section of the current Manual. 

Unsuccessful discovering of the device 

1. Sleeping device - Some devices are not in constant communication with the controller. In case the device "falls asleep" before it's completely discovered, you can try to wake it up and restart discovering procedure with discovery button.
2. Adding multiple devices at once - adding multiple devices simultaneously slows down the process. Try adding the problem device alone.
   
3. The device does not follow the full Zigbee specification.
4. The device is not compatible with Houseper. Supported Zigbee versions are 3.0 and 1.2 with some additional Houseper compatibility settings. All devices offered on this site are compatible with Houseper.
