#### Adding Advanced Devices

Advanced Devices are added to the system in different ways than normal Entertainment devices, and the exact method may vary depending on the type of device.

To begin, press the Add advanced devices to the system button.

1. First find the Advanced Device type that you want to add to the system and select it.Devices available include music systems by Denon and Sonos®, as well as home automation devices such as the Nest® Learning Thermostat™ and the TRF-ZW series of Z-Wave® controllers also from URC. The TRF-ZW controller is unique in this list as it is actually not just one controlled device. It is a way to control various other advanced devices such as lighting, door locks, motion detectors, flood sensors, and more.

1. Enter a name for the device. This name will normally appear on the remote control screen and be used for selecting the device. The TRF-ZW is an exception to this naming system because the devices that it controls will appear on the remote, not the device itself. After entering a name, click next.

1. The next steps will depend on the type of device that is being added. A device may require the use one or more of these steps in order for it to be added to the system.
   - Some devices such as the TRF-ZW will be automatically discovered on the network. Select an available device from the list of those discovered on the network. Each device will be listed by MAC address.
   - To add some devices, such as Sonos, the MAC address of the unit needs to be entered. The MAC address is not automatically discovered and must be manually entered into the appropriate field. This information can usually be found on the device itself.
   - Other devices like the Nest Learning Thermostat do not require any additional setup here. The installation is complete after entering a name for the device. Once the system is downloaded the user may need to enter information such as their account login into the remote control after selecting the device on the Home menu.
   - The IP address and network port used for communication are required by some devices. Enter the exact IP address in the field labeled for it. The network port will usually not require editing because it is prefilled with the default setting used by the device.
   - Some devices require a username and password to be entered in the editor. Enter the exact username and password used by the device.
   - Finally, some devices may also have one or more parameter values to be entered in the editor. These can vary greatly depending on the device. Each parameter will have a description of the value that you need to enter. Some parameters are required and if so there will be an indicator next to it.
