4. Istruzzjonijiet ta 'Tqabbil

To integrate your NEO Zigbee Contact Sensor into your smart home system, follow these pairing steps:

1. Ensure your Zigbee hub is powered on and connected to your home network.
2. Open your smart home application (e.g., SmartThings, Home Assistant) and put your Zigbee hub into pairing or discovery mode. Refer to your hub's specific instructions for this process.
3. With the sensor powered on (ON switch position), activate the sensor's pairing mode. This typically involves a specific button press or sequence on the sensor itself. Consult the small instruction leaflet included with your sensor for the exact method.
4. Once the sensor is in pairing mode, your Zigbee hub should detect it. Follow the prompts in your smart home application to complete the pairing process.
5. After successful pairing, the sensor will appear in your smart home application, and you can assign it to a room or create automation rules.

5. Operazzjoni

5.1. Monitoraġġ tal-Istatus

Once paired, the sensor will continuously monitor the open/close status of the door or window it is installed on. This status is reported to your Zigbee hub and displayed in your smart home application.

5.3. Automation and Voice Control

Leverage the sensor's compatibility with platforms like SmartThings, Home Assistant, Alexa, and Google Assistant to create automation routines. For example:

• Turn on lights when a door opens (requires a smart plug or smart lighting).
• Receive voice announcements when a window is opened.
• Integrate with other security devices.

7 Issolvi l-problemi

• Sensor not pairing with hub:
  • Ensure the Zigbee hub is in pairing mode.
  • Verify the sensor has a fresh battery and is powered ON.
  • Bring the sensor closer to the Zigbee hub during the pairing process.
  • Try resetting the sensor (refer to the small instruction leaflet for reset procedure).
• Inaccurate open/close detection:
  • Check the alignment of the main unit and auxiliary magnet. They should be parallel.
  • Measure the gap between the two units when closed. It must be within the 20mm effective distance.
  • Ensure the mounting surfaces are stable and not allowing movement that affects alignment.
• Ħajja qasira tal-batterija:
  • Ensure the sensor's ON/OFF switch is set to "OFF" when not in use for extended periods.
  • Verify the battery type is AA LR6 1.5V and is new.
  • Temperaturi estremi jistgħu jaffettwaw il-prestazzjoni tal-batterija.
• No alerts or notifications:
  • Check your smart home application's notification settings for the sensor.
  • Ensure your smartphone/tablet has notifications enabled for the smart home app.
