A Step-by-Step Guide to Installation and Optimization 

To help you deliver the best results with Brilliant Smart Home products, follow these crucial steps. 

1. Understand the Features and Components

Before you begin any installation, familiarize yourself with what makes the system brilliant:

• Brilliant Control Panels serve as the main hub for managing the smart home.

• Use the Brilliant Mobile App to connect and control the system remotely.

Refer to the Brilliant product documentation for detailed information about each component. 

2. Plan the System Layout 

Every home setup is unique. Invest time in understanding your client’s expectations and property layout to create a custom plan. Things to consider:

• How many zones/devices need centralized control?

• What type of integrations does your client prefer (e.g., music streaming or security automation)?

• Will the solution scale with their future smart home needs?

For multifamily projects, leverage Brilliant’s Multifamily Platform to ease property-wide management and setup. 

3. Seamless Installation Tips 

• Use the installation guides for step-by-step instructions on various configurations, including single-pole and multi-way setups. 

• Ensure proper wiring connections and test the devices carefully before sealing panels into place. 

• Follow safety measures—like switching off power at the breaker—during setups to protect both you and the homeowner.

Brilliant’s detailed video tutorials also make more complex configurations easier to handle.
