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
34

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
