Dome’s smart plug communicates with SmartRent’s internet-connected hub, allowing you to monitor and remotely control the plug — along with what’s plugged into it — via SmartRent Manager Web or SmartRent Manager Mobile. If a Dome On/Off Plug is installed in a resident’s home, they will be able to monitor and control the plug within their home using SmartRent App and the Resident Web Portal once they are moved-in. Once a home is occupied, you will no longer have the ability to monitor or control the device.
Including the Plug:
Before the Dome On/Off Plug can be used, you will first need to include it into the home’s Z-Wave network.
To include the plug, follow these steps:
Plug the device into an active outlet
Put the hub into inclusion mode (refer to our SmartRent Manager Web or Alloy Install articles for additional instructions)
While the hub is in inclusion mode, quickly press the button on the front of the plug three times
The device should be discovered within a minute
If the device is not discovered, try excluding the device first (see steps below), then return to Step 2
Configuring the Dome On/Off Plug:
Once the plug is discovered, it will populate on the Hub page in SmartRent Manager. There are three additional steps needed to finalize the device installation process.
To configure the smart plug, follow these steps:
Configure the device
To configure the device, turn the plug on and off by pressing the button on the plug itself
The smart plug should have reported its state change (switching from On to Off) completing step one of the configuration automatically
If not, click Configure Device in SmartRent Manager, or Search for Attributes in Alloy Install
When configured successfully, the device’s states (On Yes and On No) will appear in the Device Attributes section (Alloy Install will simply proceed to the next step)
Name the device
Choose your desired name for the device
Click Save and Continue in SmartRent Manager, or Name Device in Alloy Install
Click Complete Installation
Excluding the Plug:
An exclusion is a way to reset a Z-Wave device’s settings. If the Dome On/Off Plug is not discovered during the inclusion process, it may need to be excluded. This may be necessary if the device was included in a Z-Wave network previously.
To exclude the Dome On/Off Plug, follow these steps:
Plug the device into an active outlet
Put the hub into exclusion mode (refer to our SmartRent Manager Web or Alloy Install articles for additional instructions)
While the hub is in exclusion mode, quickly press the button on the front of the plug three times
The device should be excluded within a minute
Using the Plug:
To use the Alloy SmartHome Smart Plug, simply plug it into the desired outlet then plug the desired device into the smart plug.
