During the initial setup, you can choose whether to use HyPanel devices in Local Mode or Cloud Mode, depending on your network environment.
Local Mode
Choose Local Mode (some versions show as Auto Discovery) when devices operate only within the local area network (LAN).
In this mode:
Devices are detected and controlled over LAN.
Users log in to the BelaHome app with the default local family administrator account (Admin888/Admin888).
App control is limited to LAN only.
