Installation and Setup of a Smart Home Control Panel
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Ideal locations include entryways, living rooms, or bedrooms. It is important to avoid direct sunlight, heat, or moisture exposure.
Step 2: Mount the Panel
Use wall brackets for a clean, fixed installation or a stand-supported panel for desk setups.
Step 3: Connect Power and Network
For PoE installation, connect an Ethernet cable to a PoE switch. For Wi-Fi installation, connect to the home network.
Step 4: Configure Software and Device Pairing
Log into the smart home system, such as Home Assistant or SmartThings, and pair smart devices like lights, locks, and security cameras.
Portworld's smart home control panels support remote configuration, making setup even easier.
