Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The Geeni Smart Window & Door Sensors are powered by CR2 batteries. The Geeni app will notify you when the battery level is low. To replace the battery, follow the steps outlined in the 'Battery Installation' section of this manual.
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the sensor units with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device.
Troubleshooting
- Sensor not connecting to Wi-Fi:
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check that the sensor is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Restart your router and try pairing again. Confirm your Wi-Fi password is entered correctly in the app.
- No alerts received:
- Verify that push notifications are enabled for the Geeni app in your smartphone's settings. Check the sensor's battery level in the app. Ensure the sensor is online and connected to Wi-Fi.
- False open/close notifications:
- Ensure the main sensor unit and magnet are properly aligned and within the recommended 1 cm (0.4 inches) distance when the door/window is closed. Check for any loose mounting or movement of the sensor components.
- Short battery life:
- Ensure you are using fresh, high-quality CR2 batteries. Frequent opening and closing of the monitored entry point can lead to increased battery consumption. If issues persist, contact customer support.
