would like to install initially. In the future, you can add more peripherals as needed.
WeR@Home™ includes the following devices:
Hub
Remote Control (Key Fob)
Motion Detector
Camera Detector
Door/Window Sensor
Siren
Tag Reader and Tag
Flood Detector
Universal Transmitter
Z-Wave® Plus Extender
Smoke Alarm
Smart Repeater
For information about the maximum number of each peripheral device allowed in a
WeR@Home™ hub’s system configuration, refer to Maximum System Configuration per Hub on page
46.

User Guide.
2.6. Installing a Smart Repeater
The WeR@Home™ Smart Repeater extends the range of your WeR@Home™ hub, to help you maximize
the coverage of your home by WeR@Home™. The repeater allows you to connect devices to
WeR@Home™ which could not otherwise connect to the hub. The repeater manages the peripheral
devices connected to it, acts as a gateway to the Essence Cloud, and communicates with the Essence
servers which provide data to the app.
You install a repeater by adding it to an existing WeR@Home™.
Installing the repeater involves:
Ensuring you have the supplied:
Backup battery
SIM-card
Choosing a suitable location
Setting up the repeater
NOTE: For information about installing the repeater, refer to Finding a Suitable
Location, Setting up the Repeater, and Adding Peripheral Devices to the
Repeater. For all other information about the repeater, refer to ESUGSL038
WeR@Home Smart Repeater User Guide.
2.6.1 Finding a Suitable Location
To choose a location for the repeater, consider the following:
Install on a flat surface
Installing WeR@Home™
WeR@Home™ Installation Guide 35
Choose a location with adequate cellular reception
It is recommended to position the repeater at least 1 m (3.3 ft.) away from the planned
location of the peripheral devices to be connected to the repeater.
2.6.2 Setting up the Repeater
NOTE: WeR@Home™ must be disarmed when you set up a repeater.
To set up the repeater:
1. Open the WeR@Home™ app.
2. Tap . The main menu appears.
3. Tap DEVICES. The Devices screen appears.
4. Tap Add device. The Add New Devices screen appears.
5. Select Repeater. The installation tutorial appears.
6. Follow the instructions in the tutorial:
a. Remove the back cover from the repeater.
Figure 45: Remove Back Cover
b. Ensure the SIM-card is securely installed.
Installing WeR@Home™
36 WeR@Home™ Installation Guide
c. Insert the backup battery into the battery compartment, above the SIM-card, such that the
battery label faces upward and the battery contacts face the repeater’s base.
Figure 46: Insert Backup Battery
d. Return the back cover to the repeater.
e. Plug the power adapter cable into the mini-USB connector on the back of the repeater and the
power adapter cube into a power outlet. The LED on the front panel lights up red.
f. Wait for the LED on the front panel to light up green.
g. Take a note of the serial number on the bottom of the repeater.
7. In the app, tap Register now.
8. In the app, enter the serial number and tap Next. The server checks if the repeater and the hub are
using the same version of the software. If there is a difference, the server upgrades the lower
version to match the other, then updates the repeater's configuration.
9. Give the repeater a name, and the repeater is then added to the list of devices.
10. Put the repeater in its location. You can now add peripheral devices to the repeater.
NOTE: You can add up to two repeaters to each hub.
2.6.3 Adding Peripheral Devices to the Repeater
You can add up to 63 devices to a repeater.
Adding a new peripheral device to the repeater involves:
Adding each device to WeR@Home™ by pairing the device with the repeater
Installing the device in the chosen location
Installing WeR@Home™
WeR@Home™ Installation Guide 37
NOTE: You must connect the Z-Wave dongle, any Z-Wave or NEST devices, or
HD cameras, to a hub and not to a repeater.
Refer to Pairing a Device on page 50.Pairing a DevicePairing a Device
2.7. Testing the Signal Strength of Peripheral Devices
Once you have added a peripheral device to your WeR@Home™, you can test the signal strength.
NOTE: You cannot check the signal coverage for a tag or a remote control.
To test the signal strength:
1. Tap . The main menu appears.
2. Tap DEVICES. The Devices screen appears.
3. Tap the device whose signal strength you want to check. Device settings are displayed.
4. Tap Test Signal Strength, and follow the on-screen instructions. WeR@Home™ tests the signal
strength and displays the result as one of the following:
Red – signal strength is low. Find a location for the device with better signal coverage.
Orange – signal strength is acceptable. Consider finding a location for the device with better
signal coverage.
Green – signal strength is good.
Green with red exclamation mark – signal strength is good, but the device is too close to the
hub. Find a location for the device that is further away from the hub.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Allows more flexibility in choosing installation locations
Provides support when installing at a difficult angle
Can reinforce the tape installation
Prepare the following equipment:
A drill with an appropriate bit
A Philips screwdriver
3 x 35 DIN 7982 C screws and wall anchors. The number of the screws and wall anchors is
determined by the device being installed. Screws and wall anchors are not provided.

Motion and Camera Detectors
The mounting-base has eight holes to allow for installation flexibility. Varying combinations of holes
allows you to install the camera or motion detector:
Flat on a wall
On an angle facing to the right
On an angle facing to the left
In a corner
The thin plastic covering over the holes can be removed, if necessary. All the corner support holes are
blocked by the mounting-tape. You can drill through the tape, if needed.
To install the motion or camera detector using screws:
1. Release the mounting-base by lifting the tab and pushing it forward.

Caution: Perform this procedure with special care since the top part of the front
panel is breakable.
1. Release the device from the mounting base.
