(LAN) or the internet (WAN). The Controller can also be accessed locally via IP address and/or computer name. See below for instructions.
Accessing Your Controller Locally
HS3 can be accessed from any computer on the same local network just by typing in the IP Address (i.e. 192.168.1.10) of your Controller.
Using HomeSeer MyHS Remote Service
Welcome to the MyHomeSeer Remote. MyHS will allow you to access your HS3 system from anywhere without having to access your router.
There are requirements for MyHS to work. HS3 must be version 3.0.0.97 or later. HSTouch Android client requires 1.0.0.76 or later. Please make
sure to update to these versions. It is recommended that you uninstall the application and then reinstall it from the Play Store/iTunes Store. (This
guide assumes you have HSTouch Server already set up. If you do not, please refer to the HS3 Quick Start Guide on setting that up). Now, let’s get
started!
To begin using MyHSRemote you will need to register your HS3 software with the connected service.
