SmartHost Update WiFi Credentials

Step by Step guidance on how to change WiFi Network and Password on your Show Device

To update the WiFi credentials on a Show Device you will need to temporarily remove the Device Serial Number (DSN) from the SmartHost system so that it can return to the Amazon Provisioning Account.

Account settings on show devices are disabled once it is moved into the SmartHost hospitality account.


Go to Account ➤ Devices

Search for the DSN that you want to update.

Un-associate DSN from property by selecting the un-associate button. The device must be online for the un-association process to be enabled. It will take the system 2 minutes to update.  

After un-association is completed and device status appears online again. Remove DSN from SmartHost Management Portal by selecting the delete button.

 

On the Show device slide your finger from top to of screen downward till various icons appear. If no WiFi icon appears in top right corner you can also select it. Selecting No WiFi image will take you directly to available WiFi networks.

Select Settings Icon

To change the network association for the device, select the Settings > Network. It will display the current WiFi Network below the Network header. 



Use the screen to select the appropriate WiFi network.  





Use device keyboard to add WiFi password

Allow a couple of minutes for the device to update WiFi credentials and re-associate to the Amazon Provisioning Account.

 

Add Device
