The connection/configuration of the air-Q is possible via a so-called configuration hotspot. Every air-Q from firmware 1.87 can connect to the configuration hotspot. Any router with Internet access or your smartphone can act as a configuration hotspot with these WiFi settings:
SSID (Name): airqsetup WiFi-Password: airqsetup WiFi-Type: 2,4 GHz; WPA2
1. Konfigurations-Hotspot erstellen
a) The smartphone as a configuration hotspot Using your smartphone, you can easily set up a hotspot with the above settings. Here are the instructions for Android and iOS. b) WiFi router as a configuration hotspot Depending on the manufacturer of your router, this setting is made differently. For example, with the Fritzbox (AVM), the configuration can be done via the website http://fritz.box/ . With other manufacturers, you can reach the setup page of your router, for example via an IP address (e.g. http://192.168.x.y/. There you can make the desired settings for the WiFi.
2. Connect the air-Q to the configuration hotspot
air-Qs that have not yet been configured – i.e. where the bottom two LEDs are still lit yellow – automatically connect to the configuration hotspot when it is available. For all other air‑Qs, the connection to the configuration hotspot can be forced by briefly pressing the button on the bottom of the air‑Q. The connection to the configuration hotspot is signaled by a red LED at the bottom of the air-Q.
The air-Qs that connect to the configuration router automatically log in to the air‑Q Cloud at my.air-q.com. The devices can then be added to your online account and configured online, for example. It is then not necessary to use the air‑Q smartphone app to set up the air‑Q (integration into a WiFi network, setting a password, etc.).
If the air-Q is already logged into a WiFi network, pressing the button will disconnect the connection, but it will automatically be restored after 2 minutes if the configuration hot port is not present.
Attention: If the air-Q is logged into the configuration hotspot, cloud upload is activated for the air-Q!
