Installation

This add-on can be installed through the UI, via Settings -> Add-ons -> +.

Usage

Devices should be automatically discovered by the add-on. From the main Things screen, click the + button in the lower right. You will be asked for the PIN for your device, which is usually on a sticker.

If your device instead displays a PIN on-screen during the pairing process, you will need to enter 000-00-000. After it gives you an invalid PIN error, you should then enter the PIN displayed on your screen.

Troubleshooting

If you're having issues pairing, some of the following steps may help.

• Pair the device with iOS and update the firmware. You will have to then unpair or reset the device before attempting to pair with the gateway again.
• Perform a hard reset on the device.
  • This typically requires you to hold a button on the device for 10-15 seconds. See device manual.

If you're having errors with Bluetooth devices in particular:

• The Raspberry Pi Bluetooth and WiFi devices are on the same chip. As such, they can cause interference with one another. As such, they can conflict with one another and cause lots of timeouts/disconnections. To resolve these issues, it is recommended that you connect your Raspberry Pi via ethernet and disable the WiFi connection. For instructions on how to do so, see here.
