Get started

Three steps to switch a Terrashroom TS‑01 over to AutoMyco. The iPhone app is the easiest way. No iPhone? Use Chrome on a computer.

With the iPhone app

Get the AutoMyco iPhone app. It's almost on the App Store. Until then, ask for early access: Apple emails you an invite to try it in its TestFlight app.
Plug in your chamber and keep your phone within a few metres of it, with Bluetooth on.
Follow the app.
- Tap Install on a new chamber.
- Sign in with your email. You get a code; there's no password.
- Hold the button on the back of the chamber for about 3 seconds, then let go.
- Pick your chamber, tap Install, then tap again to confirm. It takes about 5 minutes. Keep the app open.
- The chamber restarts and goes back on your Wi-Fi by itself. Tap Find It on Wi-Fi.

After that

Start growing: On the Grow tab, pick what you're growing and tap Start Grow. That also switches the chamber's climate control on.
Not on your Wi-Fi?: In the app, tap Set up Wi-Fi on a chamber. When it asks, press the button on the back once, briefly. Don't hold it: a 5-second hold starts the self-test. It works within 30 minutes of plugging the chamber in; after that, unplug it for 10 seconds first. 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.
The camera (optional): Settings, then Advanced Settings, then Install Camera Firmware. It takes 2 to 10 minutes, with no cables.
Updates: The chamber checks automyco.com for new versions. When one is ready, go to Settings, then Update firmware, and tap Update. During a grow it asks you first.
Your automyco.com account: The email you signed in with. It's for firmware downloads and, if you want them, update emails. Remote access and cloud history are being tried on a few chambers first, and aren't open to everyone yet.

No iPhone? Use Chrome on a computer

What you need

Chrome or Edge on a computer with Bluetooth switched on (Windows, Mac or Chromebook). Chrome on an Android phone works too.
Your email address, for a sign-in code.
The chamber plugged in, within a few metres. No cable, and nothing to open up.

Steps

Open the Bluetooth install and sign in with your email. Tick the box to accept the terms.
Hold the button on the back of the chamber for about 3 seconds, then let go. It stays findable for 5 minutes.
Click Find my chamber, pick it from the list, then click Install AutoMyco. Keep the page open and the chamber plugged in for about 5 minutes.
The chamber restarts and rejoins the Wi-Fi it already knew. Not on Wi-Fi after a couple of minutes? Open improv-wifi.com in Chrome, pick the chamber, press the button on the back once, briefly, when it asks, then enter your Wi-Fi.

Bluetooth install, or the wired install with a backup.

Bluetooth not working, or want a backup first?

The wired install saves a full backup of the stock firmware, then installs AutoMyco and sends your Wi-Fi over the same cable. It means opening the chamber and wiring a 3.3 V USB-serial adapter (about $10) to the 7-pin header on the circuit board, from Chrome or Edge on a computer.

Unplug the chamber from the wall before you connect or disconnect any wire. Plug it back in only once the wires are on.
Ground wire first. Connect the adapter's GND wire before the others, and take it off last.
Leave the adapter's power pin (VCC) unconnected, and set the adapter to 3.3 V.

Unplug the UV-C lamp (UVC1) from the board first. UV-C light damages eyes, and nobody has measured yet what the lamp does while the chip is in download mode.
