- Host IP is reserved or static.
- Mobile devices have internet access for sign-in and the required network access for local control.
- Controlled devices are powered on and reachable.
- mDNS or discovery traffic is allowed where needed.
- Firewall allows local dashboard and app access.
- VPN, guest Wi-Fi, and client isolation are disabled for devices that must talk to the controller.
- The host will not sleep during normal control hours.
- AV, lighting, climate, HomeKit, RS90, and music endpoints are on reachable subnets.
First test
Section titled “First test”After installation, test from the same network:
- Open the Haptique OS dashboard from the host.
- Open the dashboard from a phone, tablet, or second computer.
- Add one integration or device.
- Confirm state changes are visible after a real action.
- Sign in to the mobile app and confirm the same project appears.
Why this matters
Section titled “Why this matters”Haptique OS is local-first. A stable LAN makes local mobile control, device discovery, RS90 control, HomeKit, Haptique Music, and AI-assisted control more reliable.
