Install it in the indoor unit, then finish setup in your app. Skip Wi-Fi or pairing steps you completed in the flash tool.

1 Check compatibility and gather what you need

Check your indoor-unit model and confirm its CN105 port is available.

• Hardware: one controller and CN105 cable per indoor unit, plus a USB-C data cable for flashing.
• Computer: Chrome, Edge or Brave for the browser flash tool.
• Control: your app and its required hub or Home Assistant installation, or a Serin Link. Check the setup route for requirements.

The assembled controller is ready for you to flash. For DIY builds, see supported boards and parts.

2 Choose and install firmware

Choose the firmware for your smart-home app, then use the browser flash tool. Flash with the controller disconnected from CN105 and powered only by USB. The tool can also help with Wi-Fi and show pairing codes.

Already flashed? Continue to installation. Use the update guide for routine updates.

3 Install the controller in the indoor unit

Follow the installation guide to connect CN105, position the controller, replace the cover, and restore power.

4 Connect your app or Serin Link

Follow the guide for your installed firmware, skipping Wi-Fi or pairing steps already completed.

5 Check that control works

Check that your app or Serin Link reports the room temperature, then change the mode or target temperature and confirm the indoor unit responds. If it does not, follow CN105 troubleshooting.

Repeat for each indoor unit, using distinct room names. Continue with use and configuration.
