In this chapter, we describe how to start the process of on-site commissioning. Note that some of the steps are optional
1. Power on devices all device
To get started with configuring your devices, make sure all devices are powered on first and you are situated in range of at least one device.
2. Search for devices
The Bever App will directly start searching for compatible devices. Found devices will be listed under the 'Uncoupled' header, see Figure 1.
If you haven't found all your devices, and want to keep searching, press the play button. This will make sure you will keep the already found devices. When the circular arrow is clicked, already found devices will be lost and searching for devices is started from scratch. |
3. Authorizing a device
To authorize a device, tap on the device button, or if you want to authorize all devices in the ‘uncoupled’ list, tap the ‘authorize’ button.
Not authorized
If a device status is ‘NOT AUTHORIZED’, it means that the app did not receive a response from the device. This happens if the user didn’t send any request to authorize yet, or the connection is lost while authorizing. It can also happen when the user is trying to authorize a device that isn’t compatible with the Bever App yet.
Other device authorized
If another device is already authorized, you need to reset the device by turning it off and on again.
To retry authorization, you can tap the device button or the ‘authorize’ button.
Reset needed
In case the button shows the status reset needed, the device needs to be reset in order to be authorized. A popup will also be shown which explains how the device can be authorized.

After the device is authorized, it can be added to a network.
4. Adding a device to a network
To add a device to a network, tap on the device button, and click on ‘Create new network’
Figure 5. Device is selected
Figure 6. Network dialog
With the new update it is now possible to directly set your devices to both a network and a group. This will save time on the initial setup, especially if you have multiple devices to configure:
Click on next and apply to add the device to a network, or if wanted, change the network to another id.
After the network is saved on the device, the network page will open and show the device in the created network.
