Wireless Connection
myenergi
devices use an 868MHz / 915Mhz wireless link to communicate with each other. Although this is usually
more effective at passing through walls than a standard WiFi signal, radio communication can be affected by many
factors such as:
the distance between the devices
the thickness of any walls that the signal has
to pass through
wall construction and insulation materials
large metal objects such as washing
machines, fridges, sinks and baths
mirrors
electronic products such as televisions
other wireless devices operating on the
same radio frequency
Please consider the position of your
myenergi
devices carefully to ensure that they operate as planned.
Although the devices work in the majority of installations and our technical support team are available to provide
help in setting up your system, we cannot guarantee the performance where circumstances beyond our control
affect the performance of the wireless link.
If you have any concerns about the wireless performance then we would be pleased to answer your questions, but
please consider that if a WiFi signal works OK then there is a very high probability that the
myenergi
devices will
also work without any issues.
If a wireless connection is not possible, the latest version of
zappi
has a built in Ethernet connection. This can be
used to link
myenergi
devices that have an Ethernet port simply by plugging an Ethernet cable from
zappi
into your
local network

Note
: The built in Ethernet port is not available on older versions of the
zappi
and
eddi
. This feature is under
development and may require a firmware update before the wired Ethernet connection is enabled.
