First startup and sign-in

HelioPulse brings inverter and battery data into a local dashboard. Prepare the core before connecting equipment.

Available options depend on your version, permissions and hardware. For missing actions, see Security and Diagnostics.

Step by step

  1. Follow the site's installation guide and put the core and your browser on the same network.
  2. Open your installation's local dashboard address; create the administrator if no account exists.
  3. Choose a username and password of at least eight characters, confirm it, then sign in and add equipment.

Options explained

Installation
Raspberry Pi and Docker have different capabilities; Docker does not manage host power or networking.
First account
there is no universal password to share. Keep your password private.
First readings
empty screens are normal before a collector is connected; history grows as readings arrive.

Troubleshooting

Check power, network and dashboard address if it will not open. If an account already exists, sign in; creating another account is not password recovery.
