appropriate web site and install it.
Apple App Store - search for HomeSys
Google Play Store - search for HomeSys

Extra Information:
If you have purchased additional devices simply Click on Add a device and follow the on-screen
instructions as you have done before.
Now is a good time to install all of your devices in the locations you desire using the screws /
sticky pads supplied. If the screws / stick pads supplied are not suitable for your type of
mounting surface you can of course use your own fixings.
Please ensure that your HomeSys detector devices are not too close to each other.
If devices are placed too close to each other this can cause the devices to show 'low signal
strength'. Recommended spacing for devices is at least 2 metres apart.
