I have an EasySolar, where is my QR code for the WiFi access point? - Watch this

In the above video, we use a Cerbo to connect to WiFi, the process is the same for a EasySolar, you will see this instead of Cerbo.

An EasySolar looks as below and is labelled EasySolar

To connect a SkyBox to your WiFi, you will need the following

1. A good WiFi signal at the SkyBox
2. A smart device (iPhone or Android)
3. Be in close proximity to the SkyBox

When the guide references the Cerbo (replace with EasySolar if you have an EasySolar), look for this device.

Begin

1. Download the latest version of the VictronConnect app onto your Bluetooth compatible device (phone or laptop), and make sure that Bluetooth is enabled.

2. Make sure the Cerbo GX is powered on and the Bluetooth LED is blinking.

3. Open the VictronConnect app within 10 meters of the Cerbo GX and wait for nearby devices to be discovered.

4. Once discovered, click or tap on the Cerbo GX.

5. On first connection you will be asked to enter a Bluetooth PIN code.

   For GX devices with a serial number less than HQ2242, the default PIN code is 000000. GX devices with a serial number equal to or greater than HQ2242 have a random 6-digit PIN code printed on the label (on the back of the GX device).

6. For GX devices that use the default PIN code, you will then be asked to change this insecure default PIN code to a more secure unique code. Please set your unique code, and then put it in a safe place for passwords in case you forget.

From the main device screen it is possible to change the network and ethernet settings, enable or disable the built-in WiFi Access Point, view the system on VRM, or open the Remote Console (requires a WiFi connection to a local network or the access point of your GX device).

For the network settings, tap or click the cog wheel icon.
