To view and control your own devices, navigate to the Settings page, then disable the "Demo mode" checkbox.
|
||||||
|
In the "Local URL" field enter the base URL to your openHAB webinterface, either using its IP address (e.g. `http://192.168.1.125:8080`) or hostname (e.g. `http://openhabianpi:8080`).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also connect to openHAB remotely, using either a direct connection or an openHAB Cloud instance like myopenHAB.
|
||||||
|
Please see the [article on secure remote access](http://docs.openhab.org/installation/security.html) for more details.
|
||||||
|
Simply enter your "Remote URL" in the respective Settings field.
|
||||||
|
The openHAB app will henceforth first try connecting to the local URL, then fall back to the remote URL.
