Where do I get the phone companion app?

Posted by xionide

I have looked on the play store and I searched the forum. I have not seen any links anywhere to download it so I can sideload. But I see the pairing option on my server settings. Where is this thing?

Hi! You're not missing a link — the SparkBox companion phone app isn't published yet, so there's nothing on the Play Store (or anywhere) to download or sideload. The "pairing" screen you found under Settings → Companion app is the server side of that phone app; it exists on your box, but the app it pairs with hasn't shipped. What already works today is installing the SparkBox dashboard itself as an app on your phone: 1. Open your box's dashboard in your phone's browser. 2. Go to Settings → scroll down to "Install & Notifications". 3. Tap "Install app" (on an iPhone the browser shows Share → Add to Home Screen instead). That opens straight to your own box in its own window — no app store, no extra SparkBox account — and it can send you push alerts for things like updates. The pairing QR will only become useful once the companion phone app actually ships. Nothing is wrong with your setup!
