If you bought the HomeTicker with USB only, you need to connect it to a computer. Please refer to this web gage.

Connect

There are 2 ways to connect to the MicroGateway : RJ45 SSH or Serial USB.

Reach the MicroGateway

If the MicroGateway is connected on your LAN with a RJ45 Ethernet cable :
Connect to the IP of the MicroGateway to the SSH port 22.

If you connect the MicroGateway to your PC with the microUSB port :
Connect to the virtual serial interface at 9600 bps.

Login

The default access setup is :
user : ht (or root)
password : hometicker
You can change this with the passwd command.

Connect the Wifi

If you use the RJ45 cable link with a DHCP server (e.g. with an internet provider box), the MicroGateway is already connected to the internet.
If you want to connect it to the Wifi, there's one more step.
Once connected in the MicroGateway console (see above), just type nmtui. It should display a menu where you can Activate the wifi link, select your SSID and input the wifi access password.
To check the status of the connection, you can use the following commands :
nmcli con show
nmcli dev wifi

Startup a program

(hello.py is set up in this example)
crontab -e

Add 
 @reboot cd /home/ht/HomeTicker;./hello.py
Press : CTRL+X then Y to save and exit.
