Rako App Guide V1.0.1 2.2 Discovery If there is a Rako BRIDGE discovered on the system instead of a HUB, a link will pop up to the legacy Rako App during the connection process. The Rako App searches for the HUB on both the local network and MyRako, if a local network is found, the connection will be local, if the local connection is not found, the Rako App will attempt to connect via MyRako. NB The Rako App will prioritise connections to the local network unless forced to use MyRako in the App settings. 2.3 Discovery - Local network If the HUB is connected to a local network but not linked to MyRako, the HUB will be accessible only when connected to the local network. A Rako HUB discovered without MyRako 2.4 Discovery - MyRako MyRako enables devices to access the HUB when not connected to the local network. MyRako needs to be configured in the HUB web pages to operate, see section 3 Setting up MyRako. If MyRako has been set up, the discovery page will show the MyRako, in addition, if the device is also connected to the local network, it will also show local network. A Rako HUB discovered with MyRako and Local network NB It is not mandatory to be connected to MyRako to use the App, although the device must be connected to the same network as the HUB.
