This device supports control via HomeKit. Since Apple does not natively support this device type, it uses the Apple TV type for pairing and control.
Pairing
- First, complete the device network configuration using the Smart Manager app. Then, go to the device settings page (accessed via the icon in the upper right corner) and navigate to the HomeKit settings.
- Click Enable HomeKit.
- Wait a moment for the device to enter pairing mode. Then, open the Home app on your iPhone or iPad.
- In the Home app, tap the + icon in the upper right corner, then select Enter Code Manually.
- When the Apple TV icon appears, tap it to begin pairing.
Warning
If the Home app indicates that the device is Not Responding, be sure to go back to the HomeKit settings in the Smart Manager app and click Enable again. This step only needs to be performed once before re-pairing.
In the Smart Manager app, update the firmware to version 1.0.6 or later via Firmware Update -> Update History. If updated, the above step is unnecessary.
