The VolticHub is the coordinator of the Zigbee network. Its correct installation is essential to ensure connectivity for all devices within the rooms. Always install it before mounting the devices in each room.
This step is the first and most critical of the entire installation. Without the Hub properly connected, no sensor or actuator on the floor will work.
  • Technical space or hallway ceiling on the corresponding floor
  • With accessibility and clear visibility (avoid metal cabinets or shielded areas)
  • The antenna must be at 90 degrees (perpendicular to the hub)

VolticHub connection

1

Connect the RJ45 cable first

Connect the Ethernet cable (RJ45) to the Hub port before plugging in the power. This ensures the Hub boots with available network connectivity.
2

Connect the 230V power supply

Once the Ethernet is connected, connect the 230V power supply to the Hub. Wait a few minutes for the system to start correctly.
Always connect the RJ45 before the power supply. If you reverse the order, the Hub may boot in Wi-Fi mode even if Ethernet is available.

Zigbee repeaters

Zigbee repeaters extend network coverage to rooms far from the Hub. Apply the same location rules: clear area, accessible, and without metal cabinets. They require 24/7 power.
