IMPORTANT: You must connect your iOS or Android mobile device in the Settings menu to an available 2.4 GHz Wireless network . 5GHz networks are not supported on the Cassia Hub! Most
Access Points are Dual Mode offering both 2.4 and 5GHz connection options. The 5GHz option typically has a 5 or 5G included at the end of the SSID name to indicate the 5GHz connection.

Connecting to an Unknown Bluetooth Low Energy (4.0) Device via Bluetooth Relay
In many cases, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) manufacturers & developers encode a custom Bluetooth profile inside their BLE devices that is not recognizable by the Cassia Hub, unless the profile has been integrated into the Hub. In this scenario, the Cassia Hub is limited to connecting and passing through control of a BLE device to its Native App where only one device can be controlled at a time. We call this mode Bluetooth Relay. In order to connect and control these types of devices, users must do the following:
1
Tap on Relay
2
Turn on Bluetooth
Relay Mode
3
Searching for
Devices
4
Tap to connect to Device
5
Device Connected
Important: Only one device can be controlled at a time in Bluetooth Relay Mode. Turn off when not using!
Connecting to a Device using Bluetooth Relay – Continued
Once your BLE device is connected to the Hub using the Cassia App, please proceed as follows:
1. Place the BLE device out of standard Bluetooth range of your phone (E.g. at least 50 feet)
2. Stand next to the Hub with your phone to pair to the relayed signal coming from your Hub
3. Open your BLE device’s native app
4. Follow your Device’s native app for device pairing instructions
Note: In some cases the App may see two device names, which means that your BLE device is still in range of your phone app. Continue moving the device away from your phone, until you only see one Device name available for pairing. Then, proceed to pair with the one device.
Important: BLE devices that require a “pairing pin” or “security pin” do not currently work with the Cassia Hub.

Tips, Tricks & Troubleshooting
1. On Main screen, tap on Speaker icon to assign speaker left, center or right. Then type on upper right gear icon on speaker setup page, to assign to different room, rename, or remove speaker.
2. During playback, if multi-speaker audio playback gets out of sync, press Pause/Play, Forward, or Back on the Audio controls screen in the Cassia Hub app and the streams will be re-sync’d. We recommend you use speakers from the same manufacturer for best audio syncing. If speakers are from different manufacturers, you may have to place them in different rooms to avoid syncing issues.
3. Tap on Scene icon at the bottom of the Main screen to setup If-this-than-that (IFTTT) logic.
E.g. Turn on your lights each morning at 7:00AM.
4. To associate a new user profile with a Cassia Hub that is already in use, you must be invited by the Host
Profile. To do this, Host must proceed as follows: a. Tap on USER CENTER b. Tap on MY HOME c. Tap on MEMBERS d. Tap on INVITE A MEMBER.
Note: In the user’s phone contact list, they must select the mobile number matching the profile of the new user. If it does not already exist, the Host must add the user’s mobile phone number to their phone’s contact directory
5. Once you have successfully connected to a WiFi network, in order to switch and use a different Access
Point (WiFi Router), you will need to proceed as follows: a. Connect your iOS or Android mobile device to new WiFi network in Settings menu on device b. Reset the Cassia Hub - i. Locate LED on back of Hub ii. While powered on, take a paper clip and insert it into the LED hole iii.
