Single-Unit Installation ​

(1) Prerequisites ​

  • Device side: The energy storage system is powered on, the Wi-Fi communication stick is properly inserted, and the POWER indicator is on steadily.
  • Home router: The network name and password are known, the 2.4GHz band is enabled, and the signal covers the device installation location.
  • Mobile phone: Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled, and location permission has been granted (required on Android for Wi-Fi scanning and silent connection). Stand within a few metres of the device.
  • Phone connectivity: We recommend enabling mobile data — when falling back to a direct AP connection, the phone temporarily switches to the device hotspot and loses internet access.
