Get your real-time energy dongle connected to your Wi-Fi in a few guided steps โ no account, no cloud login, no data collection. Elveta Connect walks you through pairing a physical real-time dongle from Picofrost over Bluetooth and handing it your Wi-Fi details, so it can start reporting your electricity meter data. The whole process takes a couple of minutes: โข Scan the QR code printed on your real-time dongle โข Confirm the Bluetooth pairing request your phone shows you โข Pick your Wi-Fi network and enter its password โข Read your dongle's own status light to confirm it's online Works with every current Elveta real-time dongle model, including white-label versions sold by your energy company. For advanced users, an optional setting exposes a local Telnet port on Elveta-branded dongles for integrations like Home Assistant. Available in English, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish, and German. This app has no login and never talks to a backend server - it only ever communicates with your dongle over Bluetooth, once, to send it your Wi-Fi credentials.
