Connect the control unit to WiFi
We recommend you do this indoors, before you install the control box into your
greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame. When it’s working indoors, you can move it to
the site where you’re going to put your greenhouse to test the connection there before
you begin construction of the frame.
1. Ensure your WiFi network name and password are handy.
2. Turn on your Harvst control unit. It will start beeping fast and the red LED will
be on.
3. If, after 10 seconds, no previous WiFi connection has been found, the unit will
start beeping slowly; once a second. It has just started it’s own WiFi signal.
4. On your phone, go to WiFi settings, and connect to the "harvst-wifi" access
point. You should be automatically redirected to
*
5. Click the blue "Configure WiFi" button.
6. You should see your WiFi network listed. Choose your WiFi network by clicking
its name. If you don't see yours, click "Refresh".
7. Enter your password and click save.
8. The unit will pause for a while and then if it connects OK, you'll hear a double
beep. You’ll also get a welcome text message to your phone.
If you run out of time, haven’t received the welcome text message or email, or have any
other trouble connecting, turn the unit off and then back on again to restart the WiFi
connection process. WiFi details will be stored for the next time you turn the unit on.
* If you’re NOT redirected automatically to the setup screen once you have connected
to harst-wifi, then open a browser (Chrome, Safari etc) and type in “192.168.4.1” to the
address bar; where you would normally enter a website address. This will take you to
the blue “Configure Wifi” button.
