Configure Core
With the Setup Wizard finished, there are two more things to do. Work through them in order.
1. Change the starting passwords
Every login starts with its own name as its password, so the tablet is easy to set up on day one. That is not a secret, so change them now.
- Open Settings, then the System tab.
- Go to Passwords.
- Give hab, cab and mobile each a new password.
- Write them down somewhere safe.
Remote access stays off until every login has its own password, because it would otherwise put a login anyone can guess on the internet. See Accounts and access.
2. Add your phone and other screens
Each screen has its own login, so it opens on the right dashboard.
| Login | For | Opens on |
|---|---|---|
| hab | A tablet in the living space | Habitation |
| cab | A screen in the cab | Cab |
| mobile | Your phone | Mobile |
On each one:
- Put it on the same network as the Core.
- Install Home Assistant, open it and tap your Core, the same way as in Setup Display.
- Sign in with the login for that screen and the password you set in step 1.
- On a phone, allow notifications, and allow location Always when asked.
You are set up
Move between screens with the menu at the top left.
| Screen | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Habitation | Lights, heating, water and power |
| Cab | Location, levelling, and whether you are online |
| Mobile | The same controls, laid out for a phone |
| Intelligence | Your log, alerts and routines |
| Settings | Equipment, passwords, updates and backups |
