You can control your evaSMART remotely through the Evapolar app.
To use it you have to connect it to your evaSMART via Wi-Fi first (the connection has to be the 2.4GHz one). You can connect more than one device to the app if you have several at your home or office.
Here's how it's done:
First (steps 1-8): your evaSMART has to be connected to your mobile device.
Second (steps 8-11): your mobile device has to be connected to your local Wi-Fi network (and the Internet) being "the bridge" between your evaSMART and the Internet for its first connection.
-
1. Install and open the app, sign up, or log in if you have already created a profile.
-
2. Turn on your evaSMART, give it a couple of minutes. Then tap the "+" button on the devices' list screen in the app. -
3. Press and hold the Power button on the device for 3 seconds to switch the device to the Wi-Fi Access Point mode. You will see the Wi-Fi connection icon on evaSMART's display:

4. If you're on Android, please, allow the app to access your device's location for the app's proper performance. -
5. At this step the connection to evaSMART's network (SSID is the same - "evaSMART") via your mobile device's wireless settings is about to be established. Tap "Continue" to proceed. -
6. Select "evaSMART" network from the available networks list and join it (no password needed). -
7. There will be no Internet for this network as evaSMART is not an Internet access point per se. Your mobile device might inform you of that.
After joining the "evaSMART" network, get back to the app by tapping the "<" icon. -
8. At this step you are about to establish the connection to your local Wi-Fi network. Tap "Continue" to proceed. -
9. Select your local Wi-Fi network from the list and join it. Enter your local (home, office, etc) Wi-Fi network name and password, at this step, tap "Continue". On evaSMART's display, you'll see the mobile connection icon

10. You've successfully connected to the Internet! Now tap "Done". -
11. You'll get to the Home screen with the devices list where you can select your newly connected evaSMART and control it (the device will be displayed as "on" in a few seconds... ) -
12. Just like that, you can set its name to any of the suggested ones you like. To start managing your device just tap on "evaSMART".
Now you can control your evaSMART literally from any place on planet Earth that has an Internet connection if you'd like to! Please read about all the available settings and tools in the Controlling your evaSMART with the Evapolar app article.
