4. Opsætning

The NOUS ZigBee Smart Plug requires a compatible ZigBee 3.0 gateway (hub) for smart automation, remote control, and voice assistant compatibility. Some voice assistants, like certain Alexa models (e.g., Echo 4th Gen), have a built-in hub and can connect directly. If your voice assistant or smart home system does not have a built-in hub, an additional SmartThings or ZigBee hub may be required.
