By setting your cell phone number to be the default on your system, your phone will be automatically recognised as the system owner. To do this, head to

sma xxx on XXXX will switch SmartPlug xxx on
If you only have one SmartPlug, the XXX can be left blank. If you have more than one SmartPlug, the XXX should be used for entering as much of the
plug's name as necessary to make it unique, so if you have, for example, SmartPlugs named 'kitchen refridgerator' and 'kitchen microwave', you would
need to write at least 'kitchen r’ or 'kitchen m'.
You will be sent an error message if you try to switch on a SmartPlug that is already switched on or is non existant.
How do I change my PIN?
Please head to your ‘account’ and then ‘settings’.
Here you can edit your PIN. The PIN will be required to control your system via SMS and email, so
