• Step2: Open the APP, click the “Cloud” icon,  and input the account to login.
• Step3: Click the “Plant” icon (it is “Light” icon instead when login with the streetlight account), and select a project.
• Step4: Click “ > Add Device” on the “Plant List” page.
• Step5: Select the device to be added to the cloud server.
• Step6: Select the connected WIFI  module.

• Step 7: Input the ID (or scan the QR code) on the module label, and click “Confirm.”
• Step 8: This page shows if the module’s IMEI has been recorded in the cloud server, and click “Next.”
• Step 9: Input the router password and click “Next” (Put the router in a 2.4G WiFi area).
• Step 10: Click “Set up Wi-Fi” and connect the phone to “HN_xx”WiFi (see the model’s label for password). Back to the APP, click “Next.”
• Step 11: Enter the WiFi module configuring page. Do not disconnect the network while configuring RTU.
• Step 12: Click “Confirm” to go to the WiFi setting. Connect the phone to the router WiFi again. Return to the APP, the Plant or light project shows.  
• (Option) Step 9: Return to the APP, and click “Read device.” Copy the ID and IMEI, then send them to our technical staff. Users can normally add the module after it is recorded in the cloud server.
• (Option) Step 8: Right page shows if the module’s IMEI has not been recorded in the cloud server. Click “Connect RTU” to jump to the WiFi setting, and connect the phone to the “HN_xx” WiFi (see the model’s label for password).

Local Debugging (direct point-to-point communication with the device via

WiFi)

Step 1: Connect the WiFi module to the device (connection figure, see Step1 in chapter 5, “WiFi on Cloud”).
