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.
