1. Hotspot & Access Point Configuration
   

This is only applicable for batteries with a wifi module.

The latest range of BlueNova batteries include a Wifi module that broadcasts a locally-accessible Wifi hotspot with SSID “bluenova-xxxx” (where xxxx is a consistently-unique number for that unit, e.g. bluenova-1234). Connect to your battery’s local hotspot to configure monitoring and/or manage firmware updates, as follows:

1. Connect to your battery’s Wifi hotspot with SSID “bluenova-xxxx” from your smartphone or laptop.
   

2. Navigate to the link http://bluenova-xxxx.local/ in your web browser. Note the addition of “.local”
   

You will see a list of nearby Wifi access points. Select the one you would like the battery to connect to.

Note: If the above address does not seem to work, try: http://10.42.0.1

3. Fill in your Wifi SSID password & submit the form to attempt connection to the Wifi access point.
   

The battery will turn off its hotspot and attempt to connect to the selected on-site access point. Should the connection be successful, your battery will be accessible on your local Wifi network. Should the connection fail, the battery will revert to broadcasting its own hotspot again.

2. Local Monitoring
   

In order to view real-time battery health & performance data from your smartphone or other compatible device within range, follow the procedure below:

3. Remote Monitoring
   

To enable remote monitoring functionality, connect your battery to an Internet-enabled Wifi access point

(as described in 1. Hotspot & Access Point Configuration above).

Once configured, you should be able to remotely monitor your battery via the BlueNova Remote Monitor service by navigating to http://mcu id.monitor.bluenova.co.za from remote internet-connected locations.
