Using the Raspberry Pi 3B's WiFi under Domoticz

I have installed Domoticz on a Raspberry Pi model 3B.
It works fine, but at the moment I can only access it by connecting the Raspberry to my home network using an ethernet cable. I was wondering how I can connect to the Raspberry through my WiFi network.
Any hints?

You should make a search via google.
In brief, edit the file /etc/network/interfaces (after having made a copy) and reboot
here's mine :
Code: Select all
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "your ssid here"
wpa-psk "your password here"
Bye, GD

Thanks George and Randy,
@Randy
Thanks, I'll go with your answer. I wasn't sure if network configuration wasn't somehow "under Domoticz control", seeing as it has a whole section for hardware configuration. Apparently you simply ignore Domoticz and go straight to Linux. Fair enough.
@George
Thanks for responding, but:
(1) Same thing regarding whether network configuration is managed by Domoticz as I mentioned versus Randy. I wanted to make sure I wasn't interfering with the way Domoticz handles things.
(2) Err, if "do a Google search" was the answer I was looking for, I wouldn't have posted here, ok?

I setup the wifi on my pi3 before I installed Domoticz, but yeah, I think it needs to be separate.
Other than having to set the static ip on my router, it was easy to get wifi working for me.
