Swidget Devices can be added to your Nice system. This article outlines the setup and provisioning steps that are required to make that happen. Note that currently Swidget Wi-Fi Devices can only be connected to either Nice OR the Swidget App, not both simultaneously.
Setup
Installation
Place a Wi-Fi Insert into the HOST wiring device. The Insert will take approximately one minute to
initiate. If the Wi-Fi Insert was previously connected to the Swidget App, you will need to complete a factory reset before continuing.
Discovery Mode
When the Insert is blinking green, it is in Discovery Mode and ready to be paired.
For security purposes, your Swidget Insert remains in discovery mode for 5 minutes. If not broadcasting, remove and reinsert into Swidget Device.
Firmware
Insert Firmware must be updated via the Swidget app before attempting to connect it to Nice. Download the Swidget App from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store and follow the steps below to use the Swidget app to update the Insert firmware. QR code links are provided for helpful guidance on how to perform each of these steps.
Note** Once updated, Insert/Device must be deleted from the Swidget App. At this time, you cannot use a Swidget Insert with Nice and the Swidget App concurrently.
- Create a Swidget App user account
- Pairing a Wi-Fi Insert to the Swidget App
- Updating my firmware
- Deleting a device in the Swidget App
Local Provisioning
- Reconnect to the Swidget SSID and navigate to https://10.123.45.1/provision once the firmware update has been completed.
- Enter the SSID and password of the network being used by Nice.
- Recommended – Add a Device Name. This will populate in Nice Configurator.
- When installing a Swidget 1P/3-Way Switch (S16001WA), select whether you are installing the switch for single-pole use, or if it is being used in a 3-way switch configuration.
- Enter a user-defined security key in the Set Key field. Record this key as it will be required later in the provisioning process.
- Select Disable Authentication Method.
- Optional - Set Static IP address.
For optimal performance and reference during the Nice connection steps, it is highly recommended that you note each device’s IP address and mac address and reserve the IP address in your router settings.
