Adding a device
Searching for and adding new devices.
Under Settings → Configuration → Add Device you add new devices.
Automatic search
As soon as the screen is open, the app shows Searching for new devices and lists what the Controller finds in your network, for example new Wi-Fi lamps or speakers. Tap a device that was found and set:
- Name, for example "Reading lamp"
- Room
- Device Type, if the app does not detect it by itself, such as light or switch
- Add as Favorite, if it should appear on the Overview
Tap Add.
Devices that need pairing
Some devices have to be paired explicitly. Which options you see depends on what your Controller supports:
| Entry | How it works |
|---|---|
| Add Matter device | Scan the device's Matter QR code or enter the code found on the accessory, its packaging or its instructions. The device must already be connected to your network; to do this, set it up beforehand with the manufacturer's app. |
| Add ZigBee device | The app shows Ready to pair. Then press the device's inclusion button; the steps are under Pairing Z-Wave and ZigBee. |
| Add Z-Wave device | Same as ZigBee. With Remove Z-Wave device you unregister a device before using it elsewhere. |
| Add Philips Hue Bridge | Press the button on your Philips Hue Bridge when the app asks you to. |
| Add Nuki Bridge | Press the button on your Nuki Bridge. |
| Add Apple Device | For an Apple TV: pair the nomos Controller with the Apple TV as a remote. |
| Add another device | For devices without automatic search; the details from your integrator will help here. |
If pairing an Apple TV fails, the app shows Pairing failed. Try again. Then try once more.
INFO
KNX, DMX and other hard-wired systems are set up by your integrator. They do not appear here.
Pairing Z-Wave and ZigBee
After Add ZigBee device or Add Z-Wave device, the app briefly shows Starting … and then Ready to pair. Now press the inclusion button on the device; the manufacturer's manual explains how. The three steps below the circle show how far it has got:
- Ready: the Controller is waiting for the device.
- Found: the app shows Device found and then Adding device. For Z-Wave, a bar shows the Interview with its progress in percent.
- Added: the app shows Added and opens the new device right after. Set its name, room and type as under Automatic search and tap Add.
Cancel ends pairing at any time.
Remove Z-Wave device
A Z-Wave device that was signed in to another network has to be removed first. On the pairing screen, tap Remove Z-Wave device on the left. The app shows Ready to remove; press the inclusion button on the device. After Device found, Removed appears. You can then pair the device again.
If it doesn't work
If the app shows That didn't work, the reason is below it, for example The controller is no longer waiting for the device. Tap Try again. If that does not help, bring the device closer to the Controller; remove a Z-Wave device from another network first as described above.
