Do I need wifi for the Basis Smart Panel?

The Basis Smart Panel is connected to the internet to give you the ultimate access and control over your energy usage. Does it work without it?

It's a common misconception that Wi-Fi is essential for the Basis Smart Panel to operate. The reality is that the panel can function without an internet connection, meaning that if you're installing it in a new construction, you (or your electrician) don’t need to have internet set up beforehand.

However, while the panel will still operate as a fully functional electrical switchboard equipped with all necessary safety features, you won’t be able to access energy management data through your Basis Home app without a secure internet connection. This connection is crucial for transmitting data from the panel to your app.

In the event of a temporary loss of internet service, there’s no need to be concerned. Once your panel reconnects to the internet, all your data will sync seamlessly.
