Connecting with the HygroLab

The easiest way to connect your Tablet with the HygroLab is to scan the QR code in the network settings menu.

For the most OS the way to scan the QR code is to open up the camera app and hold the camera in front of the QR code. Then an internet address (IP address) will appear (Pop-up). Click on the this and the login layout of the HygroLab will appear.

NOTE: This process may vary from iOS to Android or other OS. Make also sure that the devices are in the same network.
