You only do this once — after that, it reconnects by itself. *** ### Before You Start * **Get the app:** * **iPad / iPhone**: install **TempoWeave** from the **App Store**. * **Android**: install **TempoWeave** from the **Google Play Store**. * **Know your home Wi-Fi name and password.** The box uses **2.4 GHz Wi-Fi** — nearly every home router has it. (Details: Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz guide.) *** ### Step 1 — Turn On the Box 1. Press the **red button** once (or plug in the USB-C cable). 2. Wait for the logo, then the status screen. 3. The box's screen shows its own network name, like **TempoTreadle-A1B2** (the last 4 characters are unique to your box). You may need it below. > **Screen dark?** That's normal battery saving — tap either button to wake it. *** ### Step 2 — Run Setup in the App 1. **Open a draft** in TempoWeave (any draft is fine for setup). 2. Tap **Tools → ASSISTANTS → Weave Assistant…** 3. Tap the **⚙ (Settings)** gear, then the **TempoTreadle** section. 4. Tap **Setup…** — the guided wizard starts. 5. If the wizard asks you to join the box's own Wi-Fi first: * **iPhone / iPad**: Settings → **Wi-Fi** → tap the network matching the box's screen (e.g. **TempoTreadle-A1B2**) → password **`weaveon123`** → **Join**. If a window pops up, tap **"Stay on the TempoTreadle network"**, then **Done**. If asked, choose **"Use Without Internet."** * **Android**: Settings → **Wi-Fi** → tap the box's network → password **`weaveon123`** → **Connect**. If asked *"This network has no internet. Stay connected?"* tap **Stay connected**. * Then return to the TempoWeave app. > **"No internet" is normal!** Your device is talking directly to the box, not to the internet. Nothing is wrong. > > **A TempoTreadle setup page may pop up by itself** when you join the box's network. That's the box's own setup screen — you can pick your home Wi-Fi right there instead of in the app's wizard. Both do the same thing. 6. In the wizard, **pick your home Wi-Fi** from the list and enter its password. The box restarts and joins your network; the wizard fills in the box's address for you. > **How you know it worked: look at the box's screen.** Once the box has joined, its screen shows **your home Wi-Fi name**. If the app is still "looking" but the box's screen already shows your network, setup **succeeded** — do **not** run setup again. Just make sure your device is back on the same Wi-Fi. 7. Make sure your device is back on your **home Wi-Fi**, then tap **Connect**. The status turns green, and the box's screen shows the app's name when they're connected. 8. Tap **Done** and weave — press a treadle and watch the Weave Assistant advance. *** ### No Home Wi-Fi? Connect Directly (Works Anywhere) At a guild meeting or retreat, skip the wizard and talk straight to the box: 1. Do **Step 1**, then join the box's Wi-Fi as in **Step 2.5** above. 2. In **Weave Assistant → ⚙ → TempoTreadle**, set **Box address** to **`192.168.7.1`** and tap **Connect**. *** ### Every Time After Nothing to set up. Open the Weave Assistant, tap **⚙ → TempoTreadle → Connect** (the address is remembered). Your device and the box just need to be on the **same Wi-Fi network** — the box's screen shows which network it's on. *** ### The Buttons at a Glance | Button | Press | What it does | | -------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | **Red** | Tap | Power on / wake the screen | | **Red** | Press and **hold** | Power **off** | | **Gray** | Tap | Show connection status (which network, box address) | | **Gray** | Hold **2 seconds** | Return the box to its own setup network (TempoTreadle-XXXX) | *** ### If Something Doesn't Work | Problem | Fix | | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Wizard can't find the box | Make sure the box is on and nearby; check its screen is awake; tap Setup… again. | | App keeps searching after you entered the Wi-Fi password | **Check the box's screen first.** If it shows your home network name, the box is already connected — don't redo setup. Put your device back on that same Wi-Fi, then tap **"The box shows connected."** | | The box's own Wi-Fi doesn't appear in your Wi-Fi list | The box is probably already on your home Wi-Fi (its screen shows which). To put it back on its own network, **hold the gray button for 2 seconds** — it restarts on TempoTreadle-XXXX. | | Your home network isn't in the wizard's list | It's likely 5 GHz-only — see the 2.4 GHz guide. | | Box joined Wi-Fi but won't connect | Confirm your device is on the **same network** as the box (not cellular, not a guest network). | | Screen is dark | Normal battery saving — tap either button to wake it. | Still stuck? Email **** — include your device type, what step you're on, and a photo of the box's screen if you can. *** *See also: Weave Assistant (Mobile) and TempoTreadle 3 Wi-Fi Setup.*
