## General

This digitalSTROM application establishes a secure connection between the digitalSTROM Server in your home and your personal my.digitalSTROM account. This permits easy access from external devices (e.g. from your smartphone, tablet or computer) to your digitalSTROM system. In addition, you can use web-based applications such as a hail warning service.

## Preconditions

- To use this digitalSTROM application, your digitalSTROM Server must be connected with the Internet.
- The default password on your digitalSTROM-Server is not accepted. The password must be changed before connecting to my.digitalSTROM.

## Creating user account

After the application has been installed in the Configurator of your digitalSTROM Server, you can create your user account. A click on ‚Create your digitalSTROM account’ guides you to the registration page under www.digitalSTROM.com, where you can create your account. After successful registration, the connection can be established in the second step.

## Connecting the digitalSTROM Server with your user account

To connect your digitalSTROM Server with your my.digitalSTROM user account, activate the digitalSTROM Server with ‚Connect digitalSTROM-Server to your Account‘ and in the registration dialogue, enter the e-mail address and password used previously during the registration. The connection is automatically established after a click on OK, whereby the process is concluded.

## Functionality with an active my.digitalSTROM connection

If the connection has been successfully established, this app offers you the following possibilities:

- Via ‚Open my.digitalSTROM’, you can register to your user account directly under www.digitalstrom.com and make further settings therein.
- Under ‚Manage connection’, the connection can be disconnected again as needed (e.g. in case of moving). Please note that after the connection has been disconnected, no further access from the Internet is possible and the function can only be reactivated via the local network. In the process, previously connected smartphones are also disconnected and must be logged in once again.
- You also have the possibility to allow a person you trust (e.g. a friend or electrician) temporary remote access to your digitalSTROM configuration via a link in case a remote maintenance or diagnosis is needed.
- Furthermore, you may select whether the digitalSTROM Server should automatically carry out a data backup once a week and save the file under your account. You can directly open the page with the data backups and download the desired file. This backup can then be restored under System / System maintenance.

## Connecting your smartphone and tablet

Your my.digitalSTROM user account can also be used to access your home from anywhere using one of our smartphone apps.After downloading and opening the app enter your e-mail address and password, whereby the desired connection is established. Now you can use the app as usual, wherever you are.

## Notes:

- When the application is deleted, the connection between your digitalSTROM-Server and the user account is also cancelled. Thereafter access to the digitalSTROM-Server is possible via your local network only.
- If a smartphone app connects with the digitalSTROM-Server, it generates a token for secure access to the server. This token is managed under ‚System / Access authorisation’. In case you wish to retroactively deny a smartphone access to your home, the token can be deactivated here.
- Each digitalSTROM installation requires its very own my.digitalSTROM account. In case one connects the user account to a second installation, the connection to the first installation will be interrupted.
