* Currently, the units only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
Direct Connection Mode
In the Wi-Fi direct connection mode, your phone will be directly connected to the unit, so you can view and control the unit in real time without having to connect to the Internet. This mode is suitable for outdoor environments where there is no Wi-Fi network. Multiple users can connect to the unit and control the same unit at the same time.
You can follow the steps below to switch the unit into the Wi-Fi direct connection mode:
Step 1: Press and hold the "IOT RESET" button of the unit for 3 seconds and release the button when you hear a beep. The Wi-Fi icon on the unit's screen will start flashing.
Step 2: Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your phone and find the network starting with “EcoFlow”; Tap the network you found and connect to it.
Step 3: Go back to the EcoFlow App. You will see a pop-up window which will guide you to add the new device to the device list.
Step 3: Continue to IOT setup or set up later.
Note:
* In the direct connection mode, the Wi-Fi icon on the screen will keep flashing.
* In the direct connection mode, the phone is connected to a local Wi-Fi network that does not have Internet access.
* To ensure a stable connection, please put your phone as close to the unit as possible. If you want to switch to the IOT connection mode, please restart the unit.
* If the unit is in IOT connection, every time the unit restarts, it will enter the IOT mode. If you want to enter the direct connection mode, you will need to press and hold the IOT RESET button.
