INSTALL MANUAL
Installers must make sure the installed device has the latest
rmware, which is displayed on the BMS display screen (v1051),
in order to see incoming data from the system. Older rmware
will require a Skybox interface (Model HG-SB01/Product #
4000040) to update.
To check your system’s rmware installed, follow the procedure
below.
a) Set the ‘INVERT SET’ DIP switches temporarily to (#2
DOWN #1,3,4,5,6 UP) and wait for rmware versions
(VER S.) to appear on the controller; once idened,
change the ‘INVERT SET’ back to their previous
sengs.
b) The display must indicate soware is updated to
version 1.051.

CAN\RS485’ connects to the ‘CAN\RS485’ port of the
Skybox interface.
d) The opposite end of the cable labeled ‘MATE Master-
COM’ connects to the ‘DBG COM’ port on the BMS
Controller.
Use a 2.4 GHz or dual band network router (2.4GHz and 5GHz)
is required. HomeGrid devices cannot connect to 5GHz band
network routers. Installers must obtain the local Wi-Fi network
name and password:
For iOS users, they will be required to enter the SSID (Wi-Fi
Network Name) manually. This entry is case-sensive and
must be entered exactly as it’s named. We recommend you
screenshot the network name and password, then copy and
paste from the image.

If installers forget to set up Wi-Fi on-site, or no local
Wi-Fi was available at the me of installaon, the
installers client may contact HomeGrid Support for
setup assistance. Installers must provide their client
with the QR code (via email or text) if they wish to
monitor that system. Installers should provide a QR
code that says ‘Installer’ or create one within their
‘Installaon Company’ account.
Once HomeGrid has linked to a device (Skybox/Gen 3 BMS),
‘Installaon Company’ accounts can then link specically to
individual ‘Installer’ accounts. ‘Installaon Company’ accounts
can monitor any device linked to their account; however,
‘Installer’ level accounts can only monitor devices linked
specically to them.
For independent installers, they can link devices to their clients
(‘End User’ accounts) once they’ve created their accounts using
your QR code for authorizaon.
Installers will need a Skybox interface (Model HG-SB01/
Product # 4000040) if connecng to a Gen 2 BMS controller.
Installers should contact their distributor to acquire a Skybox, or
HomeGrid Support if the distributor is unable to provide one.
a) Ensure Skybox is connected properly to the controller.
b) The cable with the end labeled ‘CBOX RS232’ connects
to the ‘RS232’ port of the Skybox Interface.
c) The opposite end of the cable labeled ‘MATE Master
RS232’ connects to the ‘DBG RS232’ port of the BMS
Controller. The cable with the end labeled ‘CBOX

linked, the installer should see these devices become available
online on their account.
