To do this follow these steps:

  1. Go to the address bar in your browser and in the address bar type chrome://flags/, press enter. 
  2. Switch on 'Experimental Web Platform features' to enable browser to retrieve a device and auto connect to it.

If you do not switch on this feature set you will need to connect to your Thermapen each time you wish to use it.
