This is a step-by-step guide on how to get started with your Energy Gateway using Bluetooth.
If you have a DIY Energy Gateway or RAK Helium Miner V2, follow this guide before proceeding with this guide.
Connect the Energy Gateway to the internet using an Ethernet cable, and power it on by connecting the power cable.
Wait approximately 10-15 minutes for the Energy Gateway to start up and fetch the latest firmware.
If you wish to use Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet, you can remove the Ethernet cable at this point.
