Establishing an Internet Connection

There are two methods to establish an internet connection for the PHG500D. If the local WiFi router supports WPS, press the WPS button on the router then the WPS button (upper-right) on the PHG500D to connect to local WiFi.
The other method to establish an internet connection requires a mobile device (Android or iOS). This procedure is described below. Note that the PHG500D requires the use of a 2.4 GHz WiFi network using channels 1 through 11, it will not support 5G or channels 12-14. Instructions for working with the Companion applications are included below.

  2. Use the PHG Devices page in Exchange to search and pair with the sensor device. This step may be skipped if the sensor device has been added to the PHG’s auto-pair list.
  3. Take a measurement once the PHG500D has successfully connected to the device

Check
NoSign

A check indicates the successful upload of sensor data to Health@Home Exchange. 

A prohibition sign indicates that the PHG was unable to upload sensor data successfully.
