    Quick set up steps for your SWS

    • Take your slide out of the packaging and SOAK YOUR SLIDE for 24 hours before for freshwater tanks and 48 hours before for salt water tanks.
    • Please Note: Do not put your slide in tap or RO water, use a cup of your original tank water into which you plan to put your device after soaking.
    • Keep the package that your slide came in, as it has the code on it which you will need for the slide activation once you have set up your tank and devices.
    • Set up your SWS (detailed instructions below)
    • Connect your SUD
    • Activate your slide on your Dashboard (seneye.me)

    Stage 3 - Connecting the SWS to your Local Area Network 

     

    If you are using any products such as BT Parental Controls or SKY shield or other internet security services then the SWS may not be able to communicate with the seneye servers. Please click here for more information.

     

    DO NOT CONNECT YOUR DEVICE TO THE SWS YET

     

    A.       CONNECT ETHERNET

    1.      Plug the Ethernet cable (supplied) into the purple port on your SWS

    2.      Then connect the other end of the cable directly to your router.

    If the lights flash in a circular sequence on the SWS after powering it up, it is downloading a firmware update.
    Please leave everything connected until the lights are in the state shown below.

    Stage 4 - Finding the SWS GUI (Graphic User Interface)

    Open a web browser on a device that is on the same area network as your router. If you are not on the network, the GUI will not be accessible.

    Use your ID to create and enter the URL that will take you to your SWS GUI, an example is given below to show the format

    http://2mop534r4o6l.sws.li/

    Find your SWS ID on the label on the front of the SWS if you don't have this label anymore then it can be found by unclipping the back cover of the SWS.

    If you cannot find your SWS GUI, then please contact us at [email protected]

     

    Stage 5 - Connecting and updating your Seneye USB device

    Connect your seneye USB device (SUD) directly to the SWS. 

    You must connect the SUD directly to the SWS and not use any form of extension leads as the SUD will not communicate correctly.

    If the SWS has detected that the firmware is out of date, it will put the SUD in boot load mode, adn the SUD tile on the GUI will tell you to keep your device connected.

    Do not disconnect your SUD from the SWS until the tile show the image below and the LEDs on the front of the SWS are still circling

    Once the tile above is shows, and the lights have stopped circling, disconnect the SUD from the SWS and reconnect it to complete the update.

    You will be able to see the update has been successful because the lights will illuminate. If the device is our of water, the lights on the front will flash as shown below:

    Please make sure you keep your web server in dry place, away from water and humidity, if you are unable to do this please purchase our DRI box. Or follow the link to our commercial catalogue and take a look at our nodes which are more suited to outside conditions. 

    Stage 6 - Fit and register your slide: Register your slide

    Stage 7 - Setting up a WiFi module

    Now that your SWS is registered to your account and your SUD is connected, you can set up any adapters that you are using for the connection. If your SWS came with a WiFi adaptor module, please refer to the instructions in the link below as to how to set this up (we recommend setting the WiFi plug up as a Wifi adaptor/WiFi Bridge).

    The Edimax instructions are here.
