# Pairing a  TempoTreadle (first time only)

#### Pairing a TempoTreadle (first time only) <a href="#pairing-a-tempotreadle-first-time-only" id="pairing-a-tempotreadle-first-time-only"></a>

The TempoTreadle device (TT3) attaches to your loom's treadles and reports state over Wi-Fi. First-time setup is a wizard:

1. **Plug in the box** and wait for its OLED to show the device name (e.g. `TempoTreadle-C668`).
2. On your tablet, open **Weave Assistant** (top toolbar).
3. Tap **⚙ Settings → Setup…**
4. Pick your box from the list.
5. You'll see two options:
   * **Use this box** — start weaving immediately on the box's own Wi-Fi. Fastest path. Your tablet won't have internet access while connected — fine for a session.
   * **Configure Wi-Fi** — walk the box onto your home Wi-Fi so you don't have to switch networks every time you weave. Recommended if you'll use this device often.

Once paired, Weave Assistant remembers the box's address. Next time, just tap **Connect**.

> **iOS note** — the first time you open Setup, iOS will ask for permission to use the local network. Tap **Allow** so the wizard can find your TempoTreadle.
