Remote Control

Paradise creates a web server that allows you to access the control panel and administration menu on any device on the same network that has an internet browser. The most common example of this is to use an iPad to remote control the system. This is optional - you can also use the control panel directly from the device it is running on if you would prefer to.

Accessing the Control Panel from another device​

In order to connect, you need to determine the IP Address of the computer running Paradise. There are two ways to find this out, depending on how Paradise is configured.

To begin, navigate to the Help tab in the Control Panel.

Navigate to help

Next, click the button labelled Setup and Administration Menu

Internet​

We do not recommend exposing your Control Panel to the internet. This is a security risk, as anyone with the URL can access the Control Panel and control the Lighting and Sound.

There are no built-in security mechanisms in Paradise, and it's not possible to secure it with a password. If you would like to expose Paradise to the internet, we recommend using a VPN to secure the connection.
