# How to Add Devices to the Link Plus App
## This guide walks you through the steps to successfully pair new devices with your Link Plus hub.
The Lightwave Link Plus app allows you to easily connect and control your Lightwave smart devices. Whether you're setting up a new home automation system or expanding your existing setup, pairing new devices is a simple process. Before you begin, make sure your device is in pairing mode and your smartphone is connected to the same network as your Lightwave Link Plus hub.
1. **Open the Lightwave Link Plus App**
Launch the Lightwave Link Plus app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. **Tap the Green Plus (+) Button**
On the main screen, press the **green plus (+)** button in the center to start adding a new device.

5. **Put Your Device into Pairing Mode**
Before using the app, ensure the Lightwave device is in **pairing mode**. Typically, this is shown by the LED flashing **red and blue alternately**. If it's not flashing, refer to the specific [device’s user manual](https://support.lightwaverf.com/knowledge/how-to-put-your-devices-into-pairing-mode?hsLang=en) for instructions.
6. **Initiate Pairing**
Once your device is in pairing mode, hit the **green** **Link button.**
**Important:** Before pressing the Link button, ensure your device is still flashing **red and blue alternately**.
If it has stopped flashing, follow the specific device instructions to re-enter pairing mode.

**Troubleshooting Tips:**
- Make sure the device is in pairing mode when you attempt to pair. If your device flashes Red when entering pairing mode, please clear the memory of the device by performing a [**master reset **](https://support.lightwaverf.com/knowledge/master-resetting-our-devices?hsLang=en)
- If pairing times out, try again. If the issue still persists, your Link Plus hub may to too far away from the device. You can find out more about the optimal position for your Link Plus [**here**](https://support.lightwaverf.com/knowledge/where-should-i-place-my-link-plus-hub?hsLang=en)
