Just simple steps to connect your node to Zeus and go mobile.

Thanks to MrBits for contribution to this article. Zeus is an important tool to be connected to your node for its many features. You can easily connect your node in few simple steps. Now we see examples for Voltage and Umbrel. In case of Voltage we see using LNC (lightning node connect) and using the simple direct connection.

Voltage

in this case please go in “connect” section of your Lightning node and choose Lightning Node Connect from the drop down. Please note that this possibility (LNC) is not present in “lite” version of Voltage Lightning nodes.

Now “New session” and choose between admin or readonly, then wait some seconds for the pairing phrase to be setup. You now use this phrase to pair Zeus by choosing LND (Lightning node connect) as connection medium on it.

Or

you can directly go to the terminal at: https://terminal.lightning.engineering/ using the phrase you just created.

If you just want to connect to Zeus you can also use the facility in “Connect” menu, Choosing Zeus from the dropdown and scanning the QRCode from Zeus itself.

Umbrel

Since Umbrel is running in Tor, this kind of connection is even more interesting when using such kind of install. You can execute payments and so on by the mobile phone with few steps.

• Install Lightning terminal

• Open Lightning terminal and go to Lightning connect

• Click on “new session” and decide permissions

Now you can use this session to connect to your Zeus on your mobile. Just click on the camera icon on Zeus and get the QRCode clicking on LNC on the symbol on the corrensponding line on the above view.
