Logging in to the application
You need a myLAHOCO account to log in to the application. If you do not yet have an account, please visit Create a myLAHOCO account .
It is also possible to continue as a guest. (see section below)
My installations
Once logged in, the home page provides access to the LAHOCO CORE installations available for this account. If no installations are displayed, it is possible to activate a new one (See the Activation page).
Once a LAHOCO installation is open, you can return to the application’s home screen at any time by swiping back.
Connection types
there are two types of connection, indicated by the icon on the right.
The connection is automatically prioritized as soon as the phone is located in the same network as the LAHOCO CORE.
The connection used for remote access when the phone is not on the same network as the LAHOCO CORE.
The LAHOCO CORE must have Internet access to communicate with the outside world.
The application automatically adjusts the connection type according to the environment, favoring a local connection.
Guest login
Guest login allows access to devices located on the same Wi-Fi network as the phone. This type of connection is useful for guests, or for devices that always remain on the same IP network as the LAHOCO CORE, such as wall-mounted tablets.
No myLAHOCO is required for this type of connection. However, the owner will need to create a local account for their installation. See the relevant section on Users settings
