Linking devices

To use a device with Macrame the server and remote device should be linked. If a device is not linked panels can not be viewed or used.


 

  1. Open the devices page on the server.

    Server Device View

     

  2. Scan the QR code or navigate, in a browser of your choosing, to the listed network address.

    Example address: http://192.168.1.1:54321/devices

    INFO

    Your device will probably warn you because of the unsecured connection. If you want to keep using the application you should continue to the unsecured webpage.

    If you don't I don't blame you. It's an application in development, and you're just being safe.

    The connection might be secured in the future or a dedicated app will be build

 

  1. The device will automatically start an access request.

    If there are no devices linked the server will update once it has received the first access request.

    If there are already devices shown, you should press the reload button once access has been requested.

Restarting the linking process

If something went wrong in the standard linking process you can restart the process with the next steps

  1. Press the reload button on the device.

    A new access request will be started.

  2. Press the reload button on the server.

    The device should show up and you can continue step 4 of the linking process.

Removing devices manually

  1. Go to the directory Macrame is saved in. Open the devices folder. Remove the files that are inside this folder.

  2. Restart Macrame.

  3. Reload the Macrame webpage on your LAN device.
