Connecting to the Energy Manager
The Energy Manager can be integrated into your
existing home network (WiFi, Powerline Communica-
tion, Ethernet) during setup. The IP address assigned
by the Web Application can then be accessed.
If there is no integration in a home network, the
hotspot of the Energy Manager can alternatively be
used. The WPS function can also be used, which
pairs the Energy Manager with the existing home
network without entering a password, e. g. with a
network router.
A direct connection to the router via an Ethernet ca-
ble is recommended, alternatively a PLC pairing with
a PLC modem.
For information on establishing network connections,
refer to the
g Home Energy Manager installation instructions.
