WiFi - Join Network

By default OpenEVSE will boot hosting a default WiFi network portal.

Network: OpenEVSE_XXXX

XXXX represents a random identifier for your station.

Password: openevse

Connect to the OpenEVSE_XXXX network with a wireless phone, tablet or laptop.

In this example our name is OpenEVSE_5b90.

Write down the last 4 of your station for use later.

Use password openevse

If the Portal does not automatically open, open a web browser enter 192.168.4.1 for the address.

192.168.4.1 is temporary and only used in this mode.

Select your WiFi name from the list, enter your WiFi password and click connect.

If successful the OpenEVSE_XXXX network will disappear and the temporary address will no longer work.

A new numerical IP address will now be assigned by your network and displayed every time the station is started.

Reconnect using the new numerical IP address or http://openevse-XXXX.local. Replace XXXX with unique digits of your hostname.

Alternatively, "WiFi Standalone Mode" is available if no WiFi networks are available. Internet based services are not available in Standalone mode.
