Nice to see this visual to be able to see the power flow & a quick read out vs the scp. Thanks .

nice. Good for on the spot monitoring

I tried and tried nd could not get this to work. I noticed that the IP address you used was different between the gateway and the tablet. The gateway you showed ending in 1 but the tablet in 2. I tried it both ways but could never get the tablet to connect to the gateway when tethered together.

This solution seems to kill the insight WIFI cloud connection. How can I have a tablet connected and still have cloud access for remote monitoring?

Would this same setup work over wifi so the tablet can be a distance away from the Conext Gateway?

Hello, thanks for the question. Wi-Fi will work with the tablet solution, but the reliability can depend on proximity and whether there are obstructions. We highly recommend to join the next webinar on May 25 to learn more. spr.ly/6048OXRRr

@@SESolar Awesome, I was not aware of the webinar and I will attend if I am not working. I also could have phrased my question better. I would connect WiFi to my home WAP and from there connect to the Gateway which is connect to my home network via ethernet. Thank you for the response, I have been wondering about this for a while.

@@BuildingADrink Connecting the tablet to your home WAP is possible using WiFi Station mode setup. When logging in to the tablet as Guest, you can have a continuous dashboard that will never time out. However, if the signal strength of the router WAP (wrt the tablet) is weaker than the signal strength of the Gateway device, it may be better to connect the tablet using WAP of the Gateway device. Default IP is 192.168.100.1

@@ericbentsen1597 Understood, thank you. I have been wondering about this for a while, just never bought the tablet and stuff to do it.
