Devices are added centrally in the Detail View.
To add a new device under KentixONE, click on the Gerät hinzufügen button in the top right-hand corner of the Detail View. This opens a menu in which you can select which device you want to add. This is divided into four device categories:
Not every device type supports the addition of all devices listed here. Generational differences and different wireless technologies may be incompatible.

Find the appropriate button for your device and click on it. Once you have selected a device type, you will see the devices that can now be taught in again at the bottom left.
The process for adding the individual device types is explained below:
Kentix devices (Ethernet)
Concerns AccessManager, PowerManager, SmartPDU, MultiSensor (Ethernet)
Before an Ethernet-based KentixONE device can be added, the initial commissioning must be completed using the Install Wizard. In the “Operating mode” step, configure the device as a satellite device and fill in the main address and the communication key with the data of the main device. These settings can be adjusted later at Konfiguration→Netzwerk→Satelliten or Konfiguration→Sicherheit.
Select the parent device under which the new device is to be integrated.
All Kentix Managers of the corresponding category (SmartAccess, SmartPDU) as well as all AlarmManagers and SiteManagers are available.
If there are several locations or separate networks, care must be taken to ensure that communication between the two devices is possible.
The alarm group determines the logical or spatial unit into which the new device is integrated. This determines, for example, the alarm and notification behavior of all subordinate devices.
Communication with the device is established via the address and optionally the network port. In most cases, IPv4 and DNS addresses can be used.
The name is used to uniquely identify the device in KentixONE.
As the names of the devices are used in the detail view and the logbooks, descriptive names are recommended. Good identifiability of the devices increases the clarity of the system enormously.
Now click on Hinzufügen and wait until the message Gerät erfolgreich hinzugefügt is displayed.
The configuration screen of the newly added device can be opened directly via the link button.
SmartMonitoring
MultiSensor (radio)

Select the parent device under which the new device is to be integrated.
To ensure optimum communication, pay attention to the surroundings of the two devices. For example, walls, floors/ceilings or vaporized glass doors can severely restrict the radio range.
Due to different wireless technologies, an AlarmManager cannot be used as a host for MultiSensor-ROOM and MultiSensor-DOOR (wireless BLE). Similarly, MultiSensor-LAN/-TI (wireless BLE) cannot be used as a host for old MultiSensors (wireless Zigbee).

Click on Hinzufügen and press and hold the MultiSensor (radio) button until a long beep sounds (approx. 3-5s).
Wireless BLE devices (MultiSensor-ROOM/-DOOR) now appear in the displayed list with the note Warten auf Bestätigung. Briefly press the device button once to confirm. In this way, several devices can be added at the same time. The devices are given a consecutive number at the end of their name for clear identification.
Now click on Hinzufügen and wait until the message Gerät erfolgreich hinzugefügt is displayed.
