devolo Home Control
Home Control (also known as home automation) refers to the specific control of electrically operated indoor
household devices. The Home Control system by devolo uses the Z-WaveTM wireless standard.
A Home Control system requires a Z-WaveTM-compatible control unit such as the Home Control Central Unit
from devolo. Use its Home Control portal to coordinate the Home Control Smart Metering Plug and all other
Home Control devices. You can access the Home Control Central Unit through the my devolo app and at
www.mydevolo.com in a browser.
For more information about setting up the Home Control Central Unit, please refer to the instal-
lation guide and/or Home Control online help.
Accessing the Home Control Central Unit via the my devolo app (for smartphone/tablet)

Registering the Home Control Smart Metering Plug on the control unit (e.g. Home Control Central
Unit)
Multiple Home Control Smart Metering Plugs cannot be plugged into one another.
To ensure the best possible wireless range for the Home Control Smart Metering Plug, avoid po-
sitioning it behind objects that block the signal (attenuation) and avoid interference
sources. Weak signals due to attenuation can result from furniture, plants and especially metal
objects which are located between the devices. Possible sources of interference include electrical
devices such as a microwave or computer. In such instances, keep your device at least around 50
cm away from the source. The device is designed for indoor use only.
햲Select a wall outlet while taking the above factors into consideration, but at first lay the
Home Control Smart Metering Plug only near this outlet.
햳When you plug in the Home Control Central Unit from devolo, follow the description in the section
devolo Home Control on page 3 to call up your Home Control Central Unit and select Devices 
Add device  devolo Home Control Smart Metering Plug. Follow the instructions there to log into
your Home Control Central Unit. You can conveniently take electronic control using the
Home Control portal of the Home Control Central Unit.
The Home Control Smart Metering Plug shuts off automatically if an overload > 3 kW
occurs. To restore function to the Home Control Smart Metering Plug, unplug it for
around 10 seconds, then plug it in again.
