Adding Eltako devices

Once a gateway is connected, you take over its devices into the nomos system Controller – all at once or one by one.

Initial Setup: all devices at once

1. Start the initial setup:

   • On the skill page, click Initial Setup and then Start. The Controller takes over every device the gateway knows.

   • Devices that have already been imported are skipped, so no duplicates are created.

2. Result:

   • When the run is finished, the dialog shows which devices were imported and which could not be imported.

Adding devices one by one

1. Open the device list:

   • Click Add Device. The list of all devices of the gateway appears, each with its model designation, symbol and status.

2. Understanding the status:

   • New – the device is not in the Controller yet and can be taken over.

   • Already added – the device is already there and is not offered again.

   • Not supported – there is no profile for this Eltako device type yet.

   • Use Reload to fetch the list again if you have paired devices in the Eltako Connect app in the meantime.

3. Naming:

   • The Controller suggests the name the device carries in the Eltako Connect app. A name entered here applies in the Controller and is not overwritten by a later rename in the Eltako app.

   • Optionally pick the room the device is assigned to right away.

4. Choose the device type (relays only):

   • With a relay, the gateway cannot know what is connected to it. The dialog therefore asks for the Device Type: Switch or Lightbulb.

The device type decides more than the symbol. It determines which tile the device gets in the control panel and which device type it is passed on as to Apple HomeKit and Matter. Changing it later is only possible by deleting the device and adding it again with the other type – so pick what is really connected to the relay right away.
