Insert the anchors into the drilled holes. ![coloca-taquetes](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/Coloca_2taquetes.png?width=353&height=353&name=Coloca_2taquetes.png) 4\. Screw the back cover of the Cuby Aria to the wall, with the arrow on the base pointing upward, as shown in the image. ![instala-gabinete](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/INSTALA_3-1.png?width=403&height=403&name=INSTALA_3-1.png) **Once connected, reinsert the glass panel into the housing. ![coloca panel de cristal](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/3.gif?width=310&height=310&name=3.gif)** - Align the edge at the bottom of the glass panel as shown in the image. - Insert the bottom edge into the slot of the Cuby Aria base installed on the wall. - Push the top part to secure it into the Cuby Aria base until you hear a click. ![coloca-panel](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/COLOCAR_PANEL-1.png?width=688&height=339&name=COLOCAR_PANEL-1.png) ### 3. Connect Your Cuby Aria IR DC Pass the power supply cable through the central hole at the bottom of the Cuby Aria. ![introduce-cables-dc](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/INTRODUCE_DC.png?width=272&height=272&name=INTRODUCE_DC.png) **Identify the N~ (Neutral) and L~ (Line) connectors from the wall and connect each wire to its respective connector.** **![conecta-cables-dc](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/CONECTA_DC.png?width=272&height=272&name=CONECTA_DC.png)** **![conecta](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/conecta-helios.jpg?width=267&height=267&name=conecta-helios.jpg)** **4. Add Your Cuby Aria IR DC** - Ensure your Cuby Aria is properly connected. - Open the Cuby App and select the option 'Add Cuby.' ![agregar-cuby](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/AGREGAR_.png?width=421&height=281&name=AGREGAR_.png) - Selecciona la opción de "Agregar Cuby" y selecciona "Cuby Aria" de la lista de dispositivos y sigue los pasos en la app. **The display on your Cuby Aria should show 'CONFIG' on the screen.** **![cuby-aria-f&c-config](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/Cuby-aria-F%26C-config.png?width=265&height=265&name=Cuby-aria-F%26C-config.png)** --- **If the screen does not display 'CONFIG,' you will need to put the Cuby Aria into configuration mode by following these steps:** - Locate the 'CONFIG' button on the back of the glass panel. **![boton-config](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/2.gif?width=300&height=300&name=2.gif)** - To put your Cuby Aria into configuration mode, press the button until the screen displays the message 'CONFIG'. ![boton-config](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/Boton-config-f%26C.png?width=281&height=285&name=Boton-config-f%26C.png) Continue the process by following the steps as usual to add your Cuby Aria IR AC. ---   **Wait for the app to detect your Cuby Aria. It should take no more than 1 minute to find it.** If the app does not detect the Cuby Aria, ensure that **Bluetooth** and **location** services are enabled on your phone. If, after several attempts, the app still cannot find the Cuby Aria, restart your phone and try again.   **Once your phone detects the Cuby Aria, it will prompt you to name it. Enter a name that identifies where the Aria will be installed.**   **Do not use the following words in the name,** as they may cause issues when using virtual assistants like Alexa and Google Home: 1. **'Air'** 2. **'Air Conditioner'** 3. **'Climate'** The words 'Air' and 'Air Conditioner' may cause the assistants to interpret the command as a request for cooling mode or air conditioner mode, preventing the command from being executed correctly. **Wait for Cuby Aria to display the available networks. It may take up to 30 seconds for the network list to appear.** Select your WiFi network from the list. Remember, you can also manually enter the network name and password.   ![selecciona-wifi](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/WIFI.jpg?width=688&height=516&name=WIFI.jpg) - Once you select the network you want your Cuby Aria to connect to, enter the password and press 'Next.' - Wait while your Cuby Aria connects to the WiFi network. This step should take no more than 1 minute. - Done! You have successfully added your Cuby Aria IR CA. ---   ### 4. Configure the Infrared Signal The next step is to configure the infrared protocol so that the Cuby Aria can control the air conditioner. 1. Ensure your air conditioner is turned off. 2. Place the Cuby Aria in the same room, no more than 6 meters (20 feet) away from the air conditioner. 3. Open the app, find your Cuby Aria by its assigned name, and click to configure. 4. Follow the steps in the app, and tap "Start" to test different protocols. During the process, Cuby Aria will send a signal to the air conditioner. Each time, the app will ask if the air conditioner turned on or made a beep sound. Tap "Yes" or "No" accordingly. This process is manual and may take some time to find the correct protocol. 5. Once the air conditioner beeps or turns on, press "Yes" so the app displays the extended control. 6. Test some of the functions shown in the app. If the air conditioner seems to operate correctly, tap "Works". If the temperature is incorrect (shows a degree offset), you can tap the "Does Not Work" option to try other protocols. ![BEEP-1](https://help.cuby.mx/hs-fs/hubfs/BEEP-1.jpg?width=688&height=212&name=BEEP-1.jpg) Your Cuby Aria IR CA should now be functional, and you can control the A/C as usual. ### 5. Test Ensure that when you press the buttons on the Cuby Aria, the air conditioner responds correctly. If you have reviewed everything and it still doesn’t work, please contact us.
