Getting Started - Home Dock

Use this guide to set up your Plantiga Home Dock for charging Pods and uploading data without a Mac computer.

What is the Home Dock?

The Home Dock is designed to stay in one location (gym, clinic, facility, or home) and connect directly to a private Wi-Fi network. Unlike the Travel Dock, it does not require a Mac and is not intended to be portable.

Requirements

Before starting, confirm the following:

Plantiga account created and active
You have access to a Private Wi-Fi network with:
- Network name (SSID)
- Password
- (Captive portals and enterprise networks are not supported)
You have a computer with Google Chrome
- Setup must be completed in Chrome
Bluetooth must be enabled on your computer
You will need a power outlet for the dock

If you do not have access to a compatible Wi-Fi network, contact support@plantiga.com.

Setup Steps

Power the Home Dock

Plug the Home Dock into a wall outlet
Wait up to 1 minute for initialization
Confirm the dock is ready for setup when the five lights on top turn blue

Connect the Home Dock to your Organization

Open Google Chrome
Log in to plantiga.io
Navigate to Devices → Docks
Click Add Home Dock (blue button in the bottom-right corner)

Connect to Wi-Fi

Enter your Wi-Fi network name and password when prompted
