Enable configuration mode

To activate the configuration mode, press and hold the button to turn on the device.

There are two different modes of operation.

Access Point Mode

Without a configured WLAN in range, the OpenBikeSensor opens its own WLAN access point.

SSID is the MAC address of the device OpenBikeSensor-xxxxxxxx.
The default password is 12345678.
The configuration page can be accessed via http://172.20.0.1 in a web browser.

WiFi mode

If a previously configured WLAN is in range, the OpenBikeSensor will connect to it and show the IP address on its display. This is used to reach the configuration page in a device’s browser in the same WLAN.

Data can only be uploaded from a WLAN with Internet. This can also be triggered directly from the OpenBikeSensor by pressing and holding down the button.

Since version 0.6.x, an HTTPS connection is offered, and a PIN secures access to the web interface.

To open the configuration menu, click on go to https.
- (Since version 0.6.x) When using HTTPS, a certificate warning is expected, which can be dismissed or silenced by importing the certificate into the browser. The certificate is presented for download in the dialog.
- (Since version 0.7.x) Instead of go to https, the warning can be bypassed by selecting enable unencrypted access. This should only be used in secure wireless networks (example: own home network).
After selecting the configuration mode, the browser will ask for a username and password.
- User: obs (Note: the username is not checked, and the only condition is that the string is not left blank).
- Password: is shown in the display of the OBS.
