Connecting to a Controller through Bluetooth

You connect to a controller to begin all commissioning tasks. Through Bluetooth, you can connect to a single controller at a time.

Bluetooth connectivity is supported for the MP and RP Series controllers of the SmartX IP controller family. Bluetooth connectivity is not supported for IP-IO devices. To connect to an MP Series controller through Bluetooth, you will need the eCommission Bluetooth Adapter.
