SYSTEM SETUP
ThischapterexplainshowtoinstallNOBØECOHUB,andhowtoaddreceiversandother
systemunits.
ECOHUB SETUP
Importantinfo:
NobøECOHUBcommunicateswithwirelessradiosignals.ECOHUBmustbemountedon
awallforoptimalrange.Somebuildingmaterials,likereinforcedconcrete,massive
timberetc.mayreducethesignalrange.Inthecaseofsignalsnotreachingareceiver,
movingtheECOHUB12metrestothesidecouldbeenoughtoavoidtheobstacle.
Installthesystem,andmakesureallyourreceiversreactproperly,beforefinalmounting
oftheECOHUBonthewall.

Systemsetup:

4/14/2016 SkriverBrukermanualDigitalbrukermanual
http://help.nobo.no/skriver/?chapterid=344&chapterlanguageid=2 11/41
ConnectthepowercordtotheECOHUBandplugitintoapoweroutlet.

ECOHUBmustbeconnectedbycable(ethernetcable)toalocalnetworkwitha
wirelessrouter.Thecablecanbeconnecteddirectlytotherouter,ortoawalloutlet
elsewhereinthebuilding.
Makesureyoursmartphoneortabletisconnectedtothesamewirelessnetworkand
startNOBØEnergyControlAPP.Whenconnectedtopowerandalocalnetwork,
ECOHUBwilltransmititsIDcodeonthewirelessnetwork.
ToinstallECOHUB,followtheAPPsetupwizard.TheAPPwillsearchforanECOHUB,
anddisplaytheresultsonthescreen.PresstheIDcodecorrespondingtoyourECOHUB.
IfmorethanoneECOHUBisconnectedtothesamewirelessnetwork,thecorrectone
mustbeselectedinthesetupwizard.ChecktheIDcodeatthebackofthe
ECOHUBandselectthecorrespondingIDintheAPP.

(NB!OnlyoneECOHUBcanbeinstalledatatime.)
Forsecurityreasons,youwillbeaskedtotypeinthe3lastdigitsofyourECOHUBID
code.TheIDcodeisatthebackofyourECOHUB.
DonotmounttheECOHUBonthewalluntilthesetupisfinished.Incaseyouneedto

CONTROL VIA THE INTERNET
WhentheapphasbeenconnectedtoanECOHUBonalocalnetwork,theappcanalso
beoperatedremotelyviatheInternet.

Thesystemsecurityisbasedonyourlocalnetworkbeingprotectedfromunauthorized
access.Pleasemakesureyourlocal,wirelessnetworkispasswordprotectedagainst
intruders.Becarefulwhenallowingotherstoaccessyournetwork.Anyonewhohas
connectedtheirapptoyourECOHUB,willlaterbeabletocontrolitremotelyviathe
Internet.
WhentheappandtheECOHUBconnectviaalocalnetwork,theyautomatically
exchangeencryptionkeys.Thisistoensureasecure,encryptedcommunicationviathe
InternetbyarobustAESencryption.Theencryptionkeysaregeneratedbytheapp,and
aresavedintheappandtheECOHUBtopreventanyonlinesurveillance.


IfyoudonotwishtocontrolyoursystemviatheInternet,the"Allowcontrolvia

whenconnectedtothelocalnetwork.IftheInternetcontroloptionisswitchedoffand
thenbackonagain,allprevioususers(apps)areresetfromaccessingtheECOHUBvia
theInternet.Toregainaccess,theappandtheECOHUBmustexchangenew
encryptionkeys.Thisisdonesimplybystartingtheappwhileconnectedtothelocal
network.
ADVANCED ECOHUB SETUP
IfthesearchforECOHUBinthesetupwizardfails,andnoHUBsarefound,press
“advanced”toinstalltheECOHUBmanually.
Foradvancedinstallation,youwillneedtheIPaddressallocatedtotheECOHUBonyour
network.TheIPaddresscanbefoundbyloggingontotherouter.Seeyourwireless
routermanual,oraskyourinternetserviceproviderformoreinfo.

“COMFORT”,“ECO”or“AWAY”foralimitedtime.
