Introduction

WeR@Home™ Smart Repeater 3

1. Introduction

The WeR@Home™Smart Repeater extends the range of your WeR@Home™ hub, to help you maximize

the coverage of your home by WeR@Home™. The repeater allows you to connect devices to

WeR@Home™ which could not otherwise connect to the hub. The repeater manages the peripheral

devices connected to it, acts as a gateway to the Essence Cloud, and communicates with the Essence

servers which provide data to the app.

For example, here is a WeR@Home™ setup.

Figure 1: WeR@Home Installation

Assume, for whatever reason, the hub has difficulty in communicating with the indicated device, or

that the connection between that device and the hub intermittently fails.

Introduction

4 WeR@Home™ Smart Repeater

Installing a repeater, and connecting the device to the repeater instead of the hub, as shown in the

next image, allows the device to function fully as a part of WeR@Home™.

The device uses the repeater to connect to WeR@Home™in the cloud. WeR@Home™ treats the device

as a part of the system, and sends commands to it and receives reports from it as if it were connected

to the hub.

NOTE: Some features described in this guide may be disabled depending on

your service level. For information about different service levels, or to change

your service level, contact your service provider.

5. Using a Repeater

The information in this chapter is not required to operate the repeater. It is provided to help

understand how the repeater works as part of WeR@Home™

Once installed, a repeater and its connected devices work automatically as part of your WeR@Home™.

A repeater inherits its hub’s settings, configurations, and associated users.

For example, a repeater uses the same time zone and arming delay setting as its hub.

Each change in a hub’s configuration is automatically applied to all the hub's repeaters.

All devices connected to a repeater display in the app in the same way and place as devices

connected to the hub.

All events reported by devices connected to a repeater display in the app in the same way and

place as devices connected to the hub.

A key fob works only with the repeater or hub it is paired with.

A detection by a device connected to a repeater has the same effect as a detection by a device

connected to the hub.

Each command:

To the hub, is duplicated on the repeater.

To the repeater, is duplicated on the hub.

Each notification from the hub or the repeater goes to your WeR@Home™.

You cannot use a repeater as a hub. Neither can you use a hub as a repeater.
