1. Choose a suitable location

Choose a suitable location for the Bridge. It permanently needs a good WiFi connection and a power outlet for a constant power supply.

Recommendation

Choose a location close to your WiFi router.


2. Connect the USB-C cable

Plug the USB-C connector of the supplied power supply into the Bridge. Do not plug the power supply into the outlet yet.

Continuous power required

The energieleser.bridge needs a continuous power supply.

4. Attach the Bridge

Stick part 2 of the fastener to a surface and place the Bridge on it. Thanks to the hook-and-loop fastener, you can take the Bridge off again at any time.

Clean, smooth surface

Choose a clean, smooth surface and clean it beforehand. We recommend not using a wall or wallpaper, to avoid damage.

5. Start the Bridge

Finally, plug the power supply into the outlet. As soon as the Bridge has power, it starts up. The status LED first blinks blue quickly.

First start

On a Bridge that has not been set up yet, the LED keeps blinking blue quickly — this means the Bridge is waiting for setup. See Pairing the Bridge for what to do next. What the LED signals mean is explained under LED Indicator.
