Create a TapHome account
Launch the application and create your TapHome account (email / password).
All your future installations will be automatically linked to this account. We recommend using a valid email address so you can recover your password if you forget it.
Setting up a new control unit
Connect the Core to a Wi‑Fi router with Internet access using a LAN cable. Connect your phone, tablet, or notebook to the same Wi‑Fi network.
- If there is no location assigned to your account yet, you will see the Add location option. Confirm it.
- In the list of locations, select the unit labeled < New location >.
- Name the location so that you can easily identify it later among other installations. Then enter the access token – a 16-character code printed on the label on the control unit.
- You have successfully set up the control unit and have been granted Service, Admin, and User access. You can find this in Settings → All Users .
- The final step is to update the control unit.
During the update (3–5 minutes), do not disconnect the device.
Adding modules
Connect all modules to the Core. Select Settings → Hardware → TapHome Bus → Find new devices . Modules connected to the Core will appear.
Remote access
Don’t forget to add your TapHome account to the user list so you have remote access to the installation (outside the local network).
If you want our remote help, add the user support@taphome.com.
LAN / Remote access
If the control unit is on the same network as your TapHome app, the connection is always local – an Internet connection is not required.
Connection indicator
The type of connection (local or remote) is indicated:
- In the top-left menu
- In Settings → My location → Connected users
