ACCESS POINT AND WIFI NETWORK SETTINGS
Once you turn on the controller for the first time, you can proceed to its
further configuration. Being connected to the WiFi network emitted by the
device, in the control panel of the wBox application select the device, then go
to “settings” (button at the top-right corner of the screen).
You can change the name of the device that is displayed in the wBox
application. In addition, you can change the name and password of its
generated WiFi network. Remember that changing the network name or
password will disconnect the device immediately after you click the "save"
button, so re-connect to the device using the newly assigned network name
and password.
You can add the controller to your home WiFi network to control it through
this home network or from anywhere in the World. To do this, in the "Connect"
settings section, select a network name from the list and press "Connect". If is
required, enter the WiFi network password. During the connection of the
controller to your home network, the phone / tablet may disconnected from
the network. In this case, you will need to reconnect your phone / tablet to the
controller network.
Please remember that in order to control the device outside the local WiFi
network, from anyplace in the World by using the wBox application, the
option "Remote access enabled" in the controller settings must be set to "yes".
Once you've finished configuring the WiFi network, you can disconnect you
phone/tablet from the controller network and connect your mobile device
directly to your home WiFi network. The control from the wBox application
will work the same way as when the phone / tablet is connected to the
controller network. If the user leaves the local network, for example, leaving
home or using the mobile data, the wBox application will signal this state as
"remote mode". In this case, the devices can be controlled, but for security
reasons settings are not available.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SOFTWARE UPDATE
LOCATION AND TIME OF THE DEVICE,
SCHEDULE
To update the software in the controller, connect it to your home WiFi network
(see "Access Point and WiFi settings" section) which is connected to the
Internet. Go to “settings” (button at the top-right corner of the screen) and
click the "get new firmware" button in the final section on settings. Wait about
1 minute, do not close the interface do not do any other actions. The device
will download the latest software. The software version number, hardware
version and device identifier can be read at the bottom of the settings screen.
The controller has the ability to operate according to a certain schedule. To
make this possible, it is necessary to set the device time. Go to the "Settings"
(button at the top-right corner of the screen) and in the "device time" section,
click the "change time zone" button. Then select from the list your region and
location, confirming the selection by pressing "save". The device synchronizes
its time with the NTP server (if the controller is on a Wi-Fi network with
Internet access) or downloads the time from your phone / Tablet. It is
recommended that the controller was always connected to a Wi-Fi network
with Internet access so that the built-in clock is automatically synchronized.
In order to be able to control devices based on local sunrise and sunset, you
also need to select the location of the controller. Location selection is only
possible by having a direct connection between the phone / tablet and
controller. On the mobile device, should be enable the location sharing, then
turn on the native web browser and select the address: http://192.168.4.1 Go
to “Settings” (button at the top-right corner of the screen) and click "set
location". The browser will ask if you want to share the location - Allow. In the
"coordinates" section should show the approximate coordinates of your
location. If the "set location" button blinks on red color with the word "error",
or in the "coordinates" section has not changed from "not set" to numbers, an
error occurred while downloading the location. Make sure your phone / tablet
is connected directly to the controller and is controlled via the web browser of
your phone from the address http://192.168.4.1 (not in the wBox application!)
and also location sharing is enabled on your phone.
Adding entries to the schedule is made by clicking the "Add item" button in
the "schedule" section. Is possible to select the days in which the task will be
performed, the type of entry (at a specific time, or relative to the sunrise /
sunset - Only setting correctly the location) and set the task parameters. The
tasks set will be displayed in a list, each entry can be edited or deleted.
