How the juiceboss system works

While most users will control the device from the juiceboss.com website, each juiceboss device runs a small web server that you can use to control it directly from the local network:

Finding the address of the juiceboss unit

On power up, the juiceboss unit tries to get an address via DHCP. There are a couple of ways of finding its address. First is to log into your router then look at its DHCP table for the entry that corresponds to your juiceboss unit. Many DHCP servers allow you to “lock” a specific device to a fixed address; by doing this you can hard-code the juiceboss unit’s address on the network.

The second way uses the juiceboss.com site - since the juiceboss unit connects to juiceboss.com on power-up, the juiceboss.com servers know the local IP address. You can find this local address using a URL like this one, with the seven-digit code that is printed on top of your juiceboss unit.

http://juiceboss.com/ip/555-0001

this will return the local IP address of the juiceboss unit, e.g.:

192.168.0.101

Using the local web interface

You can log in to a juiceboss unit on the local network using a web browser. Find the juiceboss device address (see Finding the address of the juiceboss unit), then type that address into your browser, for example http://192.168.0.101/.

Juiceboss devices have a fixed password: the number that is printed on the top of the box. Log in in with an id of admin and the number (including the dash) printed on top of the box, for example 555-0001.
