First Setup

This guide walks you through the initial setup of your Smart Mirror — from powering it on to connecting it to Wi-Fi and completing the onboarding process.

1. Power On and Access the Admin Menu​

  1. Plug in the Smart Mirror. It will boot automatically — please wait until the display is ready. The Display is ready when it displays the standard UI including a Date in the top left corner.
  2. To enter the admin menu, touch and hold the top-left corner of the screen for 6 seconds (100x100 pixel field).
  3. Wait for the device to reboot in the admin dashboard.
  4. When prompted, enter the default password: "changeme"

Keyboard and Language​

  • The virtual keyboard is enabled by default (find the keyboard settings in the top-right corner).
  • You can change the input language in the same menu.

2. Device Name​

  1. The Device Name (example name: SmartMirror) will match your network hostname for easy identification. Be carefull to use a name that is not already taken.
  2. Press next to continue the setup.

2. Connect to Wi-Fi​

  1. The Mirror will now automaticly scan for available Wi-Fi's. (Only 2.4 GHz Connections are supported by hardware)
