No network needed; it keeps working if the internet is down. 2. **Add to a gateway** — control from the app or cloud, and build scenes, timers and automation. Most installations use both. More: [Transmitters, receivers and gateways](/inels-home/inels-wireless/transmitters-receivers-and-gateways.md). *** ## Start here If you have never paired an iNELS Wireless unit, read these in order: 1. [**Transmitters, receivers and gateways**](/inels-home/inels-wireless/transmitters-receivers-and-gateways.md) — the three kinds of device 2. [**How programming works**](/inels-home/inels-wireless/how-programming-works.md) — the one idea every unit follows 3. [**Tutorial 1 — your first button and light**](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-1-your-first-button-and-light.md) Then use the reference pages when you know what you are looking for. ## Reading paths **"I want one button to switch one light."** [Tutorial 1](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-1-your-first-button-and-light.md). **"I want to control my lights from my phone."** [Tutorial 9](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-9-adding-a-gateway.md) and [System Units](/inels-home/inels-wireless/devices/system-units.md). **"How long do I hold PROG on this unit?"** [Appendix A](/inels-home/inels-wireless/appendix-a-prog-button-times.md). The times are different for different units. **"How many times do I press the button?"** [Appendix B](/inels-home/inels-wireless/appendix-b-functions-by-number-of-presses.md). **"My controller has no pairing button."** [Pairing reference, section B](/inels-home/inels-wireless/pairing-and-configuration.md). **"I am pairing a detector or a shutter unit."** [Tutorial 5](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-5-detectors-motion-light-door-or-window-flood.md) · [Tutorial 4](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-4-blinds-and-shutters.md). **"It will not pair / it does the wrong thing."** [Tutorial 7 — fixing mistakes](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-7-fixing-mistakes.md) · [Pairing reference, section F](/inels-home/inels-wireless/pairing-and-configuration.md). **"The signal is weak."** [Tutorial 8 — range and repeaters](/inels-home/inels-wireless/tutorial-8-range-and-repeaters.md). **"I need wiring and specifications for a unit."** [Devices](/inels-home/inels-wireless/devices.md). *** ## Contents ### Part 1 — Understand the system | | | | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | [Overview](/inels-home/inels-wireless/overview.md) | | 2 | [Transmitters, receivers and gateways](/inels-home/inels-wireless/transmitters-receivers-and-gateways.md) | | 3 | [How programming works](/inels-home/inels-wireless/how-programming-works.md) | | 4 | [Pairing reference](/inels-home/inels-wireless/pairing-and-configuration.md) | ### Part 2 — Tutorials One growing installation;
