Opening the Local Screen

Before you begin, make sure the device is on and your PC or phone is on the same network (the same router or Wi-Fi) as the device.

On the PC where Spot is installed

Operating system	How to open
Windows	Open Grablo Spot from the Start menu, or double-click its desktop shortcut. You can also right-click the Grablo icon in the notification area and click Open Grablo Spot.
macOS	Click the Grablo icon in the menu bar, then click Open Grablo Spot. You can also open Grablo Spot from the Applications folder.
Linux, Raspberry Pi	Open `http://localhost:8127` in a browser on the device. The installer also prints the local screen address in the terminal when it finishes.

On another PC or a phone

Find the device's IP address. On Windows, open Command Prompt, run ipconfig, and look for IPv4 Address. On macOS, go to System Settings > Network and open the details of the connected network. On Linux and Raspberry Pi, use the address printed when installation finished, or run hostname -I. You can also find it on your router's admin page.
On a PC or phone on the same network, open a browser and go to http://<IP address>:8127. For example, http://192.168.0.10:8127

Note On Windows, if a Windows Security Alert appears the first time Spot runs, click Allow access. If you don't, the local screen opens only on that PC, not on other devices. If you run Spot as a Home Assistant add-on or in Docker, use the IP address of the machine running Home Assistant or Docker.

About the address and connection

The local screen uses HTTP, not HTTPS, so the browser shows Not secure in the address bar. This is expected.
The local screen connects to the device directly over your network, so it never uses the relay server.
You can open the local screen only by the device's IP address or hostname, not through any other domain name.
