Network address section

This section describes the IP configuration assigned to ZiggyMeter on the active Wi‑Fi network.

• IP: Current IPv4 address of the device on the Wi‑Fi network.
• Netmask: Subnet mask associated with the IP address.
• Gateway: Default gateway/router address used for Internet or upstream access.
• DHCP: Indicates whether network parameters are obtained automatically from a DHCP server or configured statically.

New connection

Use this section to connect ZiggyMeter to an existing Wi‑Fi network.

List available networks

• Nearby Wi‑Fi networks (SSIDs) are discovered automatically.
• The list refreshes automatically every few seconds.
• Each entry includes signal strength and security.

Connect

• Select the SSID you want to join.
• Enter the Wi‑Fi password (if required) and click Connect.
• After a successful connection, ZiggyMeter operates as a Wi‑Fi client (station) on your home/office network.
• The web interface is then reachable at the device IP address/hostname assigned by your router.

WARNING

When you connect to a new Wi‑Fi network, the device will be disconnected from your current connection. That means you will no longer be able to access the web interface until you reconnect to the new network.

Access Point

You can configure ZiggyMeter to act as a WiFi Access Point (Hotspot). This is useful for initial setup or when no external WiFi network is available.

• Enable Access Point Mode: Select to enable the hotspot. Note: Enabling AP mode will disconnect the device from any currently connected Wi‑Fi network.
• Change Password: Check this option to set a custom password for the ZiggyMeter hotspot (minimum 8 characters).
• Change Network Name: Check this option to set a custom SSID (Network Name) for the hotspot.
• UPDATE: Saves changes and applies the new Access Point settings. The device may restart its network interface.
