Setup » Offline

Operating in offline mode.

All your interactions with the control box will be using the device dashboard, via the device WiFi network which is transmitted when the box is awake. You will need to be near the control unit.

You can still use the web app (grow.harvst.co.uk) for a garden journal and our community forums.

To access the device dashboard

  1. While holding the wake/override button down, turn on your Harvst control unit. It will boot in offline mode with a long beep*.
  2. In your phone WiFi settings, connect to the WiFi network which is being broadcast by your device. It will be harvst-XXXX with the XXXX being your unique device ID.
  3. Note that the device network will not have internet access. That's OK. Allow your phone to connect.
  4. Once connected to the device network, some phones will automatically redirect you to the device dashboard. If not, come back to this screen and click the button below**
    Connect to device dashboard

* Once booted in offline mode, this will be remembered next time and you don't have to hold the override button down while turning on.

** The button takes you to a web page on the control unit's WiFi network. When you are there, add the page to your phone's home page for faster access in the future. At any time when you are connected to the control unit's network, you can go to the device dashboard at http://192.168.4.1
