Do these in order
- 1
Create an account
Open app.optimaatti.fi, register and sign in.
Done: Done when you reach the Optimaatti home view.
- 2
Copy connection details
Open Connection details in Optimaatti. Copy server, port, username and password.
Done: Done when the four values are visible or saved.
- 3
Connect the device to your home network
New Shelly (Gen2+): add it directly with the Optimaatti app over Bluetooth — the app sets both the Wi-Fi and the Optimaatti connection, so you can skip the next step. Other device or older Shelly: open the device app and connect it to your home Wi-Fi.
Done: Done when the device appears in Optimaatti (Bluetooth) or the manufacturer app.
- 4
Enter connection details on the device
For the manual Wi-Fi method only: open the device connection settings (called MQTT on the device) and paste the four values exactly. For a Shelly added over Bluetooth this is already done.
Done: Done when the settings are saved.
