The expert portal is a local web page on the Smappee monitor. There are two ways to reach it.
The expert portal gives access to advanced settings of the monitor, such as the network configuration. It runs on the monitor itself, not in the cloud, so it can only be reached from the same local network.
Applies to: Smappee Genius (5010xxx). Other Smappee gateways do not have an expert portal.
Before you start
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Same network | Your computer or smartphone must be connected to the same network as the Smappee monitor. This will not work over mobile data or from another location. |
| Login password | The default password for the expert portal is admin. |
| Serial number or IP address | You need one of the two, depending on the method you use. Both are explained below. |
Important: The expert portal contains advanced settings that can interrupt the connection of the monitor. Only change a setting when Smappee Support or the network administrator asks you to.
Method 1: log in with the local Smappee address
This is the quickest method, because you only need the serial number of the monitor.
- Look up the serial number of the monitor. You can find it in the Smappee app, or on the label of the device.
- Open a web browser and enter smappeexxxxxxxxxx.local, where xxxxxxxxxx is the serial number of the monitor.
- Log in with the password.
Note: Not every network or device can resolve a .local address. If the page does not open, use method 2 with the IP address instead.
Method 2: log in with the IP address
- Look up the IP address of the monitor. In the Smappee app, go to Settings > Your Smappee monitors > Infinity modules and select your monitor. You can also find the IP address in the overview of connected devices on your router or modem.
- Open a web browser and enter http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/smappee.html, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the monitor.
- Log in with the password.
Note: The router normally assigns the IP address automatically, so it can change after a reboot of the router. If the address no longer works, look it up again, or have a fixed address reserved. See How to set a static or fixed IP on Smappee produc
