Introduction
If you have never installed a Nexia-compatible connected control before, the idea
of working with Z-Wave modules and Wi-Fi routers may sound intimidating. The
fact is, it’s a lot simpler than you think. You just have to be familiar with all of the
steps involved and make sure you have everything you will need on hand before
you start the job.
This handy guide will walk you through every step, from start to nish. It will tell
you what to do and what to avoid. Once you’ve completed a few successful installs
using this guide, you can keep it in your toolbox just as a reference. You might
eventually discover you don’t need it anymore. Like we said, it’s a lot simpler than
you think.

Be Prepared
There are few things worse than discovering halfway through an installation that
you don’t have everything you need to get the job done. It adds unnecessary
time to the job and doesn’t send the right message to the homeowner about
your business. That’s why we strongly suggest that you make sure you have the
following items in your truck or toolbox before every installation.
(RJ-45) Ethernet cable
This is the cable that connects the Nexia Home Bridge to the customer’s router.
Although a 3-foot cable is included with the Nexia Bridge and should work for
average install, it’s not a bad idea to have a 10 or 12-foot cable on hand, just in
case you need the extra length. No Ethernet cable is necessary for the Gold XV/
Platinum XV, which have Nexia Home Bridge Inside.
Fresh 9V battery
You will need this to enroll Nexia modules and
repeaters with the Nexia Home Bridge. New,
unused batteries last for several years, so it
pays to have one or two spares on hand.

Power strip with surge protection
This comes in handy if the homeowner does not have enough AC outlets
available to accommodate the Nexia Home Bridge, AC power
adapter, router, and other essentials. The surge protector also
helps protect delicate electronics against power surges.
Two or three Z-Wave appliance modules
Depending on the size and construction of the home, you may need to add a few
appliance modules to act as repeaters—modules that expand and strengthen the
Z-Wave network inside the customer’s home.
Smartphone or tablet
A Wi-Fi-compatible mobile device is handy
for verifying the name of the homeowner’s
Wi-Fi network (SSID) and that the customer’s
router is actually sending and receiving
messages over the Internet. It’s also a great
way to demo your own home and show
the homeowner how you use Nexia Home
Intelligence.

Be Prepared
Ethernet switch
You may discover that the homeowner’s router has no free RJ-45 ports available.
If so, you will need to connect an Ethernet switch that adds more ports.
