Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No notifications received. | App logged out, Wi-Fi disconnected, low battery, app notification settings disabled. | Log back into the MOBI Smart App. Check Wi-Fi connection. Replace batteries. Enable notifications for the MOBI Smart App in your phone's settings. |
| Sensor not connecting to Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (not 2.4GHz), weak signal, incorrect password. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network and your phone is connected to it during setup. Move the sensor closer to the router. Double-check Wi-Fi password. |
| Sensor beeping but no app notification. | App connectivity issue, phone not connected to internet, app not running in background. | Verify your phone's internet connection. Ensure the MOBI Smart App is running and has background refresh enabled. Check app login status. |
| Short battery life. | Using non-Alkaline batteries, frequent alerts in a high-humidity environment. | Use only high-quality AAA Alkaline batteries. Ensure the sensor is not constantly exposed to moisture that triggers false alerts. |
