Connecting FoxESS devices

Obtaining a FoxESS API Key

To connect your FoxESS system to Smug, you need follow these steps to generate and use an API key from your FoxESS account.

Step 1:

Log into your FoxESS account. 

Step 2:

Once logged in, navigate to your User Profile > API Management.

Step 3:

Click on "Generate API Key". 

Enter a name for the key (this can be anything - such as 'Smug', 'your name' etc.) 

Enter your property address.

Tick both boxes to allow:

• ✅ Data access
• ✅ Device control

⚠️ Save the API Key.

Once the key is generated, copy and store it somewhere safe. FoxESS does not show the full key again after this step.

⚠️ If the key is lost, it cannot be recovered. You’ll need to delete it and generate a new one.

Paste the API Key in the Smug app.
