akubela panels can connect to various ZigBee devices, including sensors, IR controllers, thermostats, smart switches, and more. Before pairing the ZigBee devices with akubela panels, you should put them in the pairing mode.

Note

The transmission distances of ZigBee signal may vary by environmental characteristics and other factors. For optimal performance, add ZigBee devices to the akubela panels within the same room.

The following are the instructions on how to put various ZigBee devices into pairing mode.
