ZULI PRESENCE: INTRODUCTION
What is Zuli Presence?
Zuli Presence enables your devices to adjust to
your comfort preferences based on your presence
in a particular room.
Zuli Presence is able to adapt to your movements in
order to turn on lights as you walk in them, shut off
devices in rooms you’re not in to save you energy,
as well as shut off dangerous appliances when you
leave to give you and your family peace of mind.

Zuli Presence requires calibration of the Smartplugs
through a quick, two-part process.
Start by tapping “Menu” > “Presence” > “Select
Room”
Stand in the center of the room you are calibrating
and click “Ready.” Follow the instructions on the
screen to complete the calibration.
Please watch this video first so you can get a good
idea of what to expect as you go through the
calibration process.

step will include facing each wall of the room while standing in the center of that room. Then,
the app will ask you to walk around your room, and then you are all done with that Smartplug.
