Add a new 'Microboard'
To add a new device, the following 3 steps needs to be executed:
At the website (https://myhomeautomation.eu)
- Register a new Microboard on the myhomeautomation.eu website (menu: "Microboards")
- Select the type/model and select the wifi network for the device
- After creation, download the configuration file (button: "Download config")
- Copy the downloaded configuration file to the subdirectory "configs" in the MHAClient installation program directory
On the pc/laptop
- Connect the device to the pc/laptop, using an USB cable
- Determin which communication port is used (i.e. COM3)
- Start the MHAClient installation program. It will ask for two things:
- The communication port to be used
- The filename of the configuration file
Click here for an instruction to check which port is used
The installation program will now automatically install all software to the device. This can take a few minutes.
When done, the device is ready. Whenever the device is booted (powered), it will automatically connect with the server. Further setup can be done using the website
Python (version 3.xx)
The MHAClient installation software needs Python3. You can check if your machine has Python 3 installed by typing: "python --version" in a command prompt
If Python is not installed, you can get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
