How to pair an Astute device

You will need:

  1. Preparation
    • Make sure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi connection as the device and that you are connected with your WiFi password.
    • You may need to temporarily disconnect network extenders or hubs – the device must connect directly with the main router.
    • Watch this as a video! (opens a new tab)
  2. Tap Add Device (or the plus sign (+) for additional devices)
  3. Select the type of device (ASC, ASI or ASP)
  4. Select your Wi-Fi network and enter your credentials.
    • If the password is wrong, you will not be notified but the device will not pair.
  5. Initiate pairing mode
    • Press and hold the power button on the CBi Astute Smart device until the LED switches off.
    • Tap the power button once. The LED should flash rapidly – pairing mode is now active.
    • Return to the app on your phone, and tap the mobile notification Confirm indicator rapidly blinking.
    • If the indicator light stops flashing while in pairing mode, the device has been found and is busy connecting.
  6. If the connection attempt fails.
    • Repeat steps 6 and 7.
    • Ensure that your home’s Wi-Fi password is entered correctly.
    • If the problem persists, repeat steps 4 to 7, or see the FAQs on Connection issues
  7. The pairing status will be displayed
  8. Rename the device. (Optional) Tap the edit button to change the device name at any time. Tap Done.
  9. Setup is complete and you can now define schedules on the Timer menu.
