Adding a Unit Controller to a Unit

How to add and attach a unit controller to a unit.

Adding a Unit Controller via the Manager's Mobile App

Unit controllers can only be added through the Manager's mobile app—this functionality is not available in the Web Portal. Whether you're setting up a new installation or adding a unit controller to an existing unit, both tasks are completed via the mobile app.


Adding a Unit Controller to a New Unit

If the unit is not yet in the NSE system (e.g., it's a new installation), follow these steps to add a unit controller:

  1. Log in to the Manager's mobile app.
  2. Tap the + (plus) icon in the top-right corner.
  3. Select Add Unit Controller. This will create both the unit space and its associated lock.
  4. Wake the unit controller (press the button on the unit to power it on).
  5. Choose the device type or tap Scan QR Code to scan the controller’s QR code with your phone's camera.
  6. Complete the required information for the device.
  7. Tap Save to finish.

Adding a Unit Controller to an Existing Unit

If the unit is already in the NSE system and you're adding a controller for a retrofit installation, do the following:

  1. Log in to the Manager's mobile app.
  2. Tap the Units icon (second from the left).
  3. Scroll or search to find the unit you want to add the controller to.
  4. Tap the unit to open its details.
  5. Tap Add Unit Controller.
  6. Wake the unit controller (press the button on the unit to power it on).
  7. Choose the device type or tap Scan QR Code to scan the controller’s QR code with your phone's camera.
  8. Complete the required information for the device.
  9. Tap Save to finish.

By following these steps, you can easily add unit controllers to both new and existing units via the Manager's mobile app.
