This video shows a demo of how easy is to connect a production Vector to a selfhosted escape pod using the first ever preconfigured VectorX/WirePod Raspberry Pi 4 Image. No coding / shell / installation required.

The steps:

1. Flash the image with RPI Imager on a 32GB SD Card. The image is for RPI4 ARM64, 8GB RAM
2. Boot. The RPI will go into Acces Point mode (HOTSPOT). From your PC/Mobile, look for the network "VectorX Setup" and connect (no password)
3. Point your web browser to 192.168.220.1:8080. It loads a page where you can choose your home wifi network and input the password.
4. After that, RPI turns to normal mode and connects to the given wifi network. Wirepod is started automatically.
5. Go to escapepod.local:8070 to access VectorX control panel, where you can complete the setup entering the API keys needed for enabling the weather and knowledge graph services.
6. Onboard your Vector to WirePod.
7. Done! Vector talks with your RPi4 and is powered by VectorX RELEASE_09.
