Programming

The STAR controllers are programmed using WiFi NOT Bluetooth. Why? Because for remote programming in the secure block chain environment, only WiFi is accessible. It is also planned to have remote support including programming assistance and for that with the block chain security, it has to be done using WiFi. 1) Press the Left hand Button for 10 secs. The Lower LED bar will change colour to deep blue as feedback that programming mode is active. Once you see deep blue release the button. 2) Go to Phone settings and select “WiFi” Release current WiFi from “always join” and turn WiFi off then on if you are currently on WiFi. On iPhone , turn off Mobile Data as it will drag WiFi connectivity to an internet accessible WiFi channel and not STAR controller. Now access the SSID that starts with “STAR-XXX”.
