Looking good! Stop having so much fun!! lol.

If your EZB and IoTiny are in Client mode then your router assigns them an IP address. As far as I know, once your router assigns the IP address the router will keep track of it and always use the same IP address unless you reset the EZB. Once reset the EZB will go into AP mode.

If your EZB or IoTiny is in AP mode they will be using it's own IP address. I think it is 192.168.1.1.23. However you will have to disconnect your computer from your home network and then connect your computer to the EZB's AP network. Start up the EZB that's in AP mode and look for a network with EZB or IoTiny in it.

Once you're connected you can go into it's web server using your internet browser and change it to client mode and let your router keep track of it. Don't forget to reconnect to your home network to set up the EZB in ARC that is now in Client mode. EZ Robot has tutorials on how to do all this. With all the robots you have made using ARC I'm sure you have done all this before. Good luck. I hope this helps.

hi dave

all controllers are in client mode . here is it 192.168.0.???.   ( ? uniek number )  i use two old ezbv4's . the iotiny's are fine . i just got mail from my telenet provider . i used almost my montly internet . i'm going to pke there a little . sse if i can get a little , more and faster internet .

@Athena , I've often wondered; can you show us a list of the skills in ARC that rely on an internet connection to work? Then which of these skills would be most data intensive and be a financial and data drain on a internet provider data plan.

Certainly! Here is a list of some ARC skills that rely on an internet connection to work:

Skills That Rely on Internet Connection:

1. Bing Speech Recognition: Uses Microsoft's Bing Speech API to convert spoken language into text.
2. Cognitive Services: Includes various skills like Emotion Detection, Face Recognition, and more, which use cloud-based AI services.
3. OpenAI GPT-3: Uses OpenAI's API to generate human-like text based on prompts.
4. Weather: Fetches weather data from online services.
5. RSS Feed Reader: Reads RSS feeds from the internet.
6. Twitter: Posts tweets and reads Twitter feeds.
7. Google Calendar: Integrates with Google Calendar to fetch and manage events.
8. IFTTT: Uses the IFTTT service to trigger actions based on various conditions.
9. Email: Sends and receives emails.
10. Web Browser: Opens and interacts with web pages.

Data-Intensive Skills:

1. OpenAI GPT-3: This can be quite data-intensive due to the large amount of data processed and returned by the API.
2. Cognitive Services: Skills like Emotion Detection and Face Recognition can use significant data, especially if processing high-resolution images or video streams.
3. Bing Speech Recognition: Continuous speech recognition can consume a fair amount of data, especially if used frequently.
4. Weather: While not extremely data-intensive, frequent updates can add up.
5. Twitter: Fetching and posting tweets can use data, especially if done frequently.
6. Email: Sending and receiving large attachments can consume significant data.
7. Web Browser: Depending on the websites visited, this can be very data-intensive.

Tips to Manage Data Usage:

1. Limit Usage: Use data-intensive skills sparingly and only when necessary.
2. Local Alternatives: Use local alternatives where possible. For example, use local speech recognition instead of cloud-based services.
3. Monitor Data: Keep an eye on your data usage through your internet provider's dashboard.
4. Optimize Settings: Adjust settings in ARC to reduce data usage, such as lowering the frequency of updates for weather or RSS feeds.

Example of Adjusting Settings:

• Bing Speech Recognition: You can limit the duration and frequency of speech recognition sessions.
• Weather: Set the update interval to a longer duration to reduce the number of requests.

If you have any specific skills in mind or need further assistance with managing data usage, feel free to ask!
