Connect to WiFi

We recommend connecting the device to WiFi before mounting and installing it in the garage.

  1. Plug in the device using the included power adapter.
  2. Using a computer or mobile phone, look for an open WiFi network named konnected-xxxxxx and connect to it.
  3. A captive portal page should appear, with a list of nearby WiFi networks. If this does not automatically pop-up, then go to http://192.168.4.1 in your browser. Click/tap on your WiFi network, enter your WiFi password, and click Save.

Discovering in Home Assistant

Once connected to your home WiFi, Home Assistant should automatically discover the device.

  1. Open your Home Assistant dashboard.
  2. Go to SettingsDevices & Services
  3. Look for a newly discovered ESPHome device named konnected-xxxxxx.
    The six characters at the end are a unique ID and will be different for each device.
