What you need

If you've found yourself here, chances are you're either looking to get shocked, or shock a friend or partner! We've written this quick start guide to help you get shocking as fast as possible.

Requirements

To get started with OpenShock, you need three things:

1. An OpenShock server

This can be either a public or private OpenShock server. We recommend the openshock.app public OpenShock instance.

Interested in hosting your own server? Check out the Self-hosting guide.

2. An OpenShock hub

A hub connects OpenShock to the shock device via a micro-controller and a 433 MHz transmitter.

• For pre-built options, check out the Hardware vendors.
• For building your own DIY Buying guide.

3. Shockers

See the Shockers. We recommend the CaiXianlin shockers.
