4 · Credentials — Enter your Wi-Fi password and tap to provision. To assign a fixed address now, set a static IP (optional — you can also do it in step 6).

6 · Static IP (optional) — Set a fixed IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS. Leave DNS empty to use the gateway. Recommended if you want a stable local address.

Claim ownership#

To control the charger remotely and manage who has access, claim it:

  1. Make sure your phone is back on your home Wi-Fi.
  2. Tap Claim Ownership (or open the device and claim it later).

Outcomes: You are now the owner (success), or Device already has an owner — ask the current owner to share access.

Ownership claimed: you are now the owner

Claiming needs the charger to have reached the cloud. If claim fails, confirm the charger shows Connected on your home network and try again.

Personalize your charger#

Back on the device list, your charger appears as Online. Give it a photo so it’s easy to recognise:
