Proper installation of a smart home control panel is the key to creating a seamless and efficient smart home experience. With Portworld’s 4-inch and 5-inch control panels, installation is easy thanks to their POE capabilities and user-friendly design. This guide will walk you through the process.

Step-by-Step Installation Process

1. Choose the Right Location
   Select a convenient location for your smart home control panel where you can easily access it. The 4-inch model is ideal for smaller spaces or discreet locations, while the 5-inch model is better suited for areas where you need to control multiple devices at once.

2. Mount the Control Panel
   Portworld’s control panels come with universal mounting brackets, making them compatible with various wall boxes. The 4-inch and 5-inch panels can be mounted in standard wall boxes, ensuring a secure and neat installation.

3. Connect the POE Cable
   Use a single Ethernet cable to connect the control panel to your network. POE technology means that this cable will handle both power and data, making the setup process much faster.

4. Configure Your Smart Home System
   Once the panel is installed, power it up and follow the on-screen instructions to connect it to your home Wi-Fi or Ethernet network. You can now start adding and controlling devices like lights, thermostats, and security systems.
