Senecta helps you connect the Pods in your home. Use the same email address you used to purchase your DenPods. Employees of home care agencies that use Senecta sign in on the Agency tab with the work account their agency issued, and set up Pods in the homes their agency cares for. Use the app to: - Log in or create an account with a secure email code. A purchase is required to create an account. Agency employees sign in with their work email and password instead. - View your purchases and name your home. - Find a nearby Pod using Bluetooth. - Choose the room in your home. - Scan the Wi-Fi QR code on your router's label instead of typing the password, or paste it from your phone's settings. - Securely transfer 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi details. - Confirm that the Pod connected to Wi-Fi. Setup works like pairing a speaker: plug the Pod in and it appears in the app. Wi-Fi credentials are transferred directly to the Pod over an encrypted Bluetooth session and are not stored in the app or sent to Senecta's cloud service. An existing purchase, access to its checkout email and a compatible Pod are required. This app configures Pods; it is not an emergency service or a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition.
