Stage 1 - Creating a seneye.me account
If you already have a seneye account please proceed to stage 2.
If you a new user please register an account at www.seneye.me. You will need to use the E-mail address that you want your alerts sent to.
Once you have registered, please ignore any details on the Welcome E-mail that mention downloading the seneye connect application. Once your registration is complete, please continue through these instructions.
Stage 2 - Registering the SWS to your account
Please go to the following link to register your SWS to your account.
You will be asked for your E-mail address, password, and the details that are on the sticker on the SWS packaging. An example of this is shown below:
Please note that O is the letter O and not the number 0 in the ID
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.
An overview of the lights and connections on the SWS can be seen below. You will need to reference these later in the setup.
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.
B. CONNECT POWER
1. Plug the USB power adaptor (supplied) into the mains.
2. Connect one end of micro USB cable (supplied) into USB power adaptor.
3. Connect the other end into the micro USB port (black port) of the SWS.
Your SWS will now boot up:
When your SWS boots, the lights on the front will flash in the following sequence:
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
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.
This is what your SWS GUI will look like, don't forget to bookmark it so you can access it easily!
For more information on how to use your GUI follow this link: http://answers.seneye.com/en/Seneye_Products/sws/instructions/SWS_Graphic_User_Interface_(GUI)
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 will need to manually update the firmware in the SUD
Please note: your SUD will no longer communicate with the seneye connect on a PC after the firmware update
You must connect the SUD directly to the SWS and not use any form of extenstion leads as the SUD will not communicate correctly.
If you have purchased your SUD with a complete pack with the SWS then it will already be updated to the latest firmware. You will be able to tell if the SUD is already updated because it will show as connected on the SWS GUI.
Once the SWS has detected that the firmware is out of date, it will put the SUD in boot load mode. You can tell that this has been completed because the 'seneye device connect light' on the SWS will be flashing.
Please disconnect and re-connect the SUD from the SWS.
The tile that is circled below will indicate that the firmware is downloading. The lights on the SWS will flash in a circle to indicated this.
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 illumiate. If the device is our of water, the lights on the front will flash as shown below:

If you have any problems, please leave everything connected as it is and E-mail us at [email protected]
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.
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.
