Step-by-Step intelPlug Setup Process 🛠️ #
- Initial Consultation: The intelPlug setup process begins with an initial consultation where the business owner discusses their specific needs and goals with an intelPlug representative. This helps to determine the optimal configuration and devices required.
- Assessment and Planning: A detailed assessment of the business premises is conducted to plan the installation of smart on-off devices. This includes identifying key areas for device placement, such as charging stations, heaters, coolers, and other electrical equipment.
Installation Options:
Self-Installation: Business owners can choose to perform the intelPlug setup themselves using their existing electrical infrastructure. intelPlug provides detailed instructions and support to ensure a successful setup. - Training and Support: After the intelPlug setup, business owners and their staff receive comprehensive training on how to use the intelPlug system:
- Maintenance and Upgrades: Regular maintenance and updates are essential to keep the intelPlug system running smoothly:
Routine Maintenance: Gig workers conduct routine checks and maintenance to ensure all devices are functioning properly.
System Upgrades: The intelPlug system can be easily upgraded with new features and improvements, ensuring it remains up-to-date with the latest technology.
Important intelPlug Setup Tips #
Wi-Fi Security: Do not use the same WiFi network for smart devices and customer access. Use a separate, clean network for smart devices to ensure they work properly. Most issues with smart on-off devices during intelPlug setup are caused by network problems.
Network Reminder: Smart on-off devices only work with a 2.4GHz network.
Solution: If your WiFi has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz with the same name, separate them. For example, name the 2.4GHz network “MyRouter2” and the 5GHz network “MyRouter5”.

Independent Gig Workers #
Gig workers who assist with intelPlug installation and maintenance are independent businesses working on their own behalf. They are not intelPlug employees but are teams that help business owners transition to the intelPlug system and ensure the stable operation of the system. Their independence allows them to offer flexible, tailored services that meet the unique needs of each business.
Working with Gig Workers #
Gig workers work independently. intelPlug only verifies their identity and assumes they are honest and well-intentioned. If you have any issues with a gig worker, let us know. We aim to work with people who are logical, honest, and love their job. Make sure to ask gig workers for proof that they are licensed electrical technicians. Don’t work with unlicensed individuals. When the installer or reseller you find in the intelPlug system comes to your business, you can check if they are the person you found by verifying their identity. intelPlug cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by Gig Worker.
