Getting started

Unboxing, connecting, Wi-Fi set-up, time and location.

Getting started

Unboxing and connecting

  1. Check the clock for transport damage; all segments must come off easily and go back on straight.
  2. Place the clock on a flat, firm surface. Connect the power supply – both plugs, servos and controller are powered separately.
  3. Plug in the power supply: the clock extends and retracts all segments once (self-test).
Note: If a segment jams at first start: disconnect the clock from power, remove the segment, place it in the neutral position and start again.

Connect to Wi-Fi

  1. On your smartphone or laptop choose the network ServoUhr-Setup (password: servouhr).
  2. The set-up page opens automatically – otherwise open http://192.168.4.1.
  3. Choose your own Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), enter the password, save. The clock restarts and connects.
  4. After connecting, the clock briefly shows its IP address in four blocks on the segments.

Open the web interface

On the same Wi-Fi open http://servouhr.local – or the IP address (start display, router, on Pro by double-clicking the lower encoder). Several clocks on the same network: give each clock its own name under System.

Time and location

  • The time is set automatically via internet time servers (with fallback servers, daylight saving automatic). Normal and Pro keep the time even without Wi-Fi and across power failures.
  • Normal and up: set the location for the outdoor temperature – “Temperature” card → type the place name → Search → choose the result → Apply. The clock confirms immediately with the current temperature.
