Setup guide

Set up your Smart Box

From opening the box to your noticeboard on the big screen takes under five minutes. Here is every step.

Before you start

Your SLX Smart Box, with its HDMI and power cables.
A screen or TV with an HDMI input.
Internet: an Ethernet cable from your router, or your Wi-Fi name and password.
If you’re using Wi-Fi: the SLX On Air app on your phone, with Bluetooth on.

Step 1

Connect it to your screen

Plug the HDMI cable into the Smart Box and your screen. Connect the power and switch it on.

Turn the screen to that HDMI input. The Smart Box starts up on its own.

Step 2

Get it online

Two ways. Use whichever suits your space.

With an Ethernet cable

Plug an Ethernet cable from your router into the Smart Box. The box is online; go straight to step 3.

Over Wi-Fi, from the app

Turn on your phone’s Bluetooth: the app uses it to find the Smart Box. Open the SLX On Air app, go to the menu and tap Setup Device on Android, or Set up display on iPhone.
The app finds your Smart Box and shows a code. Check that it matches the code on your screen, and tap to confirm.
The app lists the Wi-Fi networks the Smart Box can see. Pick yours.
Type your Wi-Fi password and tap Connect. The Smart Box joins your Wi-Fi.

This option only shows for people who manage a noticeboard. Don’t see it? Message us and we’ll check your board is linked to your account.

Step 3

It links itself to your account

As soon as the Smart Box is online, our server links it to your account and its noticeboard automatically.

No pairing code, nothing to type. Your board appears on the screen.

Step 4

Check which board it shows

We create your noticeboard, so the Smart Box usually already knows which board to show.

If your screen isn’t showing a board yet, set it in the web console: sign in at simplylocalx.com/console with the link we email you (no password), then go to:

Devicesyour Smart BoxNoticeboard

Step 5

Post, and watch it appear

Post to your board from any of these, and it shows on the big screen:

The SLX On Air mobile app
The web console
Email, on Pro plan boards: Email to Post

A new post reaches the screen in seconds.
