Ethernet Connection
Zappi
’s with the built in vHub (identified by the product code ZAPPI-2Hxxxx) are supplied with a built in Ethernet
port (RJ45 socket)
7
and WiFi to connect
zappi
to the local network (LAN).
This Ethernet connection can be used as an alternative to connecting the
myenergi
devices using the wireless link.
This version of the
zappi
can also act as the “gateway” or “
hub
” between all your
myenergi
devices and the
myenergi
server
8
.
Note:
harvi
can only be connected using a wireless link to the Master device
When pairing devices, they will automatically use the Ethernet link if available.

Two example setups are shown below
Ethernet used where the
eddi
does not have an Ethernet
connection
Ethernet used to link all Ethernet enabled devices
Further detail on the ethernet connection, WiFi and for further configurations see the separate
vHub
manual.

An Ethernet expansion board is available for earlier versions of
zappi
.
8
Earlier versions of the
zappi
did not have this built in gateway/hub capability. For these devices a separate
hub
is
required to provide the link between the local devices and the
myenergi
server.

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.
