Always Enabling the Web Frontend

To enable the web frontend continuously one variable needs to be set in the web frontend. But to get into the web frontend for the first time the following steps need to be done:

• Unplug the tibber bridge.
• After three seconds, plug the tibber bridge.
• After three seconds, unplug the tibber bridge.
• After three seconds, plug the tibber bridge.

The LED on the tibber bridge should now light up green and not light blue anymore.

Now use any device (laptop, pad, phone) to connect to the WiFi network Tibber Bridge. The password is the nine characters printed on the tibber bridge.

Use a web browser on that device to connect to http://10.133.70.1/.

The username is admin and the password is again the nine characters printed on the tibber bridge.

When connected, select the param tab an there find and set the variable webserver_force_enable to true.

After setting and saving the value, remember to press "Store params to flash" on the bottom of the page.

Unplug the tibber bridge, wait ten seconds and plug it back again. Now it should connect back to tibber and the LED should light up light blue.

The web frontend should now be accessible on http://tibber_bridge/.
