This image will post the data to lanternsoftware.com. It's stored there securely and only you will have access to it; the data won't be shared or sold to anyone. If you really want to run your own server, you're of course welcome to do that instead, instructions are located further down. By default, this image will post the data to lanternsoftware.com, but you can change that using the android app or by changing the config file at /opt/currentmonitor.

## Now that the service is running on the pi, how do I configure everything in the android app?
1. Create your panel in the "Configure Panels" page from the main menu. Before you have your hub connected, there will be no place to select a hub and port for each breaker. Don't worry, we'll get to that later.
1. With your hub plugged in and running for at least 30 seconds or so, go into the "Configure Hubs" page from the main menu. In here you'll see a status of "Scanning for Hubs..." (if you're on at least 1.0.7 of the app). If you're in range of your hub and its service is running, the app should find it pretty quickly (less than 15 seconds). If this is the first hub you've added, it will prompt you for your wifi credentials. After that, it will send via bluetooth the hub index (so it knows which hub it is), host (so it knows where to post data), auth code (so it knows which account it is and can post data), the encrypted wifi credentials, and finally a command to reboot.
1. After your hub reboots, it should acquire an ip from your router, start the service, and try to start posting data. The hubs will try to auto-calibrate your voltage to 120V too, but if your AC/AC transformer is not plugged in, it will notice that and not try to auto-calibrate. It will continue to try to auto-calibrate each time you restart the hub until it does so succesfully.
1. Now that your hub is in the app, you need to go back into your panel and map each space to the port that you plugged the CT into. So say you put a CT on space 4, and you plugged that CT into port 7 on your hub, in your panel config, select space 4 and at the bottom, select hub 0 and port 7.
1. After you have your ports mapped, the hub does not currently pick up that change automatically. I will make it do that eventually, but for right now, you need to restart your hub one more time. (You can do this via bluetooth, but it's probably easier to just yank the power and plug it back in)
1. After that second restart, you should start seeing data. If you're not getting data in your app, the hub probably was not able to get a wifi connection. You can pull the last 10 lines of the log file and network details from the hub via bluetooth on the hub config page to troubleshoot.
