First setup over Wi-Fi
After the first start, the device creates a temporary Wi-Fi access point. Connect a phone or computer to this network. The setup page should open automatically as a captive portal. Enter your Wi-Fi credentials and the project-specific settings, save them, and wait for the device to restart.
If the page does not open automatically, temporarily disable mobile data or VPN and open the local setup address from the project-specific details below. Do not enter credentials for a network you do not control.
