Some smart home devices are registered by entering the serial number of the device, for example Philips Hue LED lights. Other smart home devices require the entry of a specific installation code and the MAC address, for example smart home devices from Bosch. You can find the serial number, installation code, and MAC address in the manual or on the device itself. The MAC address is sometimes also called the "EUI64" or "EUI-64" (64-bit Extended Unique Identifier).

The smart home device is now set up and you can switch and control it in the home network and from anywhere over the internet.
