From here on out everything is easy. You simply navigate the user interface to set up your controller.
### Initial WiFi Connection
When the software is first connected it will start its own ESPSomfy RTS wifi network. You will need to connect to this network so you provide the WiFi credentials for your network. So open your WiFi networks and connect to the unsecured network named ESPSomfy RTS. Once connected navigate to http://192.168.4.1 and it will bring up the blank shades screen. Click on the gear icon at the upper right to open the configuration screen and select the WiFi tab.
When the software is first connected it will start its own ESPSomfy RTS wifi network. You will need to connect to this network so you provide the WiFi credentials for your network. So open your WiFi networks and connect to the unsecured network named `ESPSomfy RTS`. Once connected navigate to `http://192.168.4.1` and it will bring up the blank shades screen. Click on the gear icon at the upper right to open the configuration screen and select the WiFi tab.
Select your WiFi network from the list, enter the passphrase and hit save. This will disconnect the ESP32 from its own network and connect it to your WiFi network. From here on out you can access it by navigating to http://ESPSomfyRTS.local on your local WiFi network. That is until you change the host name and it will then start to use http://<your hostname>.local. This allows you to have several ESPSomfy RTS modules on your network at the same time. You probably only need this if you have more than 32 shades to control or the radio is encased in Kryptonite, or it is located on another planet, or has a magic spell of protection on it.

It should also show up in your Windows networking list as the module has SSDP and mDNS built in. This is here so I can use discovery on Home Assistant later but it is nice to just see it in Windows Explorer.
