Setup Display
Your Sensa Core has no screen of its own. You set up and run the whole system from a tablet or phone with the Home Assistant app on it, which is the app your Sensa screens run in. You need this in place before you can configure anything.
Choose a display
Use a tablet if you can. An Android tablet or an iPad both work. It gives the setup screens more room, and it can stay in the van as your main screen.
A phone works too, so use one if you have no tablet to hand.
Install the app and sign in
- Put the tablet or phone on the same network as the Core.
- Install Home Assistant from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open it and tap through the welcome screens.
- Tap your Core in the list of systems it finds.
- Sign in with the login for your display:
| Display | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|
| Tablet | hab | hab |
| Phone | mobile | mobile |
On a phone, allow notifications, and allow location Always when asked.
You will change these starting passwords in Configure Core, where you can also add your other screens.
What to do next
The first time you sign in, the Setup Wizard opens by itself. It takes a couple of minutes and asks for the few choices that are yours: your licence code, what you share with us, tracking, when updates run, your Settings PIN, and your units. Every page has Next, so nothing holds you up, and you can change any of it later in Settings.
When the wizard finishes, go on to Configure Router, then Configure Core.
