First-time setup

  1. On first boot Rackglow opens a WiFi network called Rackglow-Setup (password rackglow123).
  2. Join it from your phone. The setup page opens by itself; if it doesn’t, browse to 192.168.4.1.
  3. Pick your WiFi network, enter its password and a device name, and save. Rackglow restarts and joins your network.
  4. Open http://rackglow.local (or the IP address shown on the screen) and set the strip layout under LED Config.
