7) The Agrowtek Integration Hub will now iterate through the list of currently connected devices one module at a time and populate what devices have yet to be registered to the Agrowtek Integration Hub. It is important to connect Agrowtek devices to the Hub one at a time.
Sensor Modules like the SXC will display their sensor readings, and their associated sensor names can be renamed if desired:
Device output modules like the RX4i will have a Device name and device type field per output, which allows the user to rename the output and device type to match the device being controlled by the output:
Lighting Control modules like the LXD will have a ‘Manufacturer’ drop-down list, where the user can specify the make of lights connected to the module:
To skip a specific module from being registered to your Agrowtek Integration Hub, tap the ‘Skip’ button at the bottom of the wizard. Once the sensor or devices have been named to your liking and any required fields for the module have been designated, one can tap the ‘Next Device’ button to move onto the next module detected by the Agrowtek Integration Hub.

If you wish to add an additional Agrowtek device, connect the module to the Agrowtek Integration Hub while at this screen, connect the Agrowtek device to the Hub, hold down the Setup button on the Agrowtek device to have the Hub re-address the connected Agrowtek device, then tap the ‘Check for new equipment’ button.
Once all Agrowtek equipment has been registered to the Agrowtek Integration Hub, tap the ‘I’ve registered all connected equipment’ button to exit the Add Hardware wizard.
