1. Power up your Neo Box
Install your Neo Box somewhere central with a strong Wi-Fi
signal from your router. Plug the 5V DC power charger into
a 240V AC power point. Take the power charger cable and
connect the USB plug into the power charger and connect the
micro-USB into the Neo Box. The LED in the Neo Box will turn
on to indicate it is receiving power.
2. Pairing Mode
You need to transfer your home’s Wi-Fi information (network
name and password) to the Neo Box so it can access the Inter-
net. This is done by rst putting the Neo Box into pairing mode
by pressing and holding the “S” button for 3 seconds. The LED
light should start blinking blue. If this procedure fails, tap on
the “No” option and follow the troubleshooting instructions.
3. A - Allow Bluetooth and location usage
Tap on the rst button to allow bluetooth usage by the app
in your device, then tap on the second button to turn on the
device’s Bluetooth. Some devices won’t allow the app to turn
Bluetooth on. In this case, manually turn Bluetooth on, then
came back to the app and tap on the button again.
3. B- Connect to the Neo Box
The app will list all Neo Boxes in pairing mode. Tap on one to
connect via Bluetooth.
4. Allow Neo Box to use your Wi-Fi
Your Neo Box will automatically scan for the Wi-Fi networks
available in the area. Select your home network, and enter
your password. The Neo Box only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Ensure that your router security is set to WPA2-PSK.
If you don’t see your Wi-Fi network on the list, you can try
rescanning. If you still don’t see your Wi-Fi network after res-
canning, you will need to reposition your Neo Box for stronger
Wi-Fi signal.
To reposition your Neo Box, simply exit the process, move
your Neo Box closer to your router, and start over.
Adding a blind
IMPORTANT: You must read this section before
proceeding.
At this point you will be creating blinds, and rooms to put them
in within the app. Look at a room as an area or a group of
blinds you want to control together. A few points to consider:
1. Create separate rooms for sheers and blockouts so they
will be controlled separately as groups from the home screen
e.g. Living Sheers and Living blockouts.

Legal Information
Adding a blind (cont.)
2. Schedules (timer operation) are setup within each room
(upper right of screen) and will schedule all blinds in that room
to operate. If you plan to schedule a room, only include blinds
to be scheduled. Create an additional room as required. Each
blind can be included in several rooms if needed.
3. There is a limitation of 8 blinds per room. If you have a large
room with more than 8 blinds, then break them down into
areas and create rooms for each area e.g. living North wall,
Living East wall.
4. You can create up to 30 rooms, 8 blinds per room and up to
40 schedules in total.
Open the “Add Blind” page
Select “Add a blind” from the menu (top left corner)
Adding a blind consists of two parts:
1. Creating a virtual blind in the app.
2. Pairing the physical blind in your home with the virtual blind
in the app.
1. Provide details about the blind
Now follow the instructions in the App and continue to set
up your rooms and blinds as required. Please note after
pressing the button on the motor as instructed by the
App, you have 10 secs to pair the App with the motor.
Use the “add a room” function on the screen to create your
own rooms as required.
You can delete rooms by entering the desired room and
tapping on the the edit (pencil) icon in the top right corner and
then tapping on the bin icon in that same position.
Choose the room that the blind will belong to, or add a new
one, then give the blind a name. Note that you can add up to 8
blinds into a single room.
When naming your blind, try to use a descriptive name (e.g.
East Wall, or Bay Window) so that you can easily identify the
blind later.
Relocating the Neo Box

count to a new location with access to the same Wi-Fi network,
simply unplug the Neo Box and re-plug in the desired location.
