Troubleshooting

Appliance Configuration Issues

Analysis of cause:

• Please enable the permissions for Storage / Location / Camera / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth for this APP when installing. Otherwise, there will be some problems during operation.
• Check if the mobile connected WLAN router SSID and password are correct.
• Check for additional WLAN router settings: Firewall (router or PC), MAC address filtering, Hidden SSID, DHCP server.
• Reboot WLAN router, mobile device, and appliance (WLAN module). Connect the appliance again in CF or AP mode. Before rebooting, check if anyone else is already connected to the same appliance.

Mobile Control Issues

When the appliance (WLAN module) reboots and the app displays "device removed", ignoring this confirmation will lead to the mobile device losing control permission of the appliance. You will need to connect the appliance again via CF or AP mode.

In case of power failure, the mobile device will lose control permission of the appliance for 3 minutes after power failure. (A notification will appear on the mobile device.) If you cannot control the app (appliance) even after power is restored, you will need to connect the appliance again via CF or AP mode.

Device Not Found Issues

App display: Appliance Device offline. Please check the following conditions:

• The appliance has been reconfigured.
• Appliance is out of power.
• Router is out of power.
• Appliance cannot connect to the router.
• Appliance cannot connect to the network through the router.
• Mobile device cannot connect to the network.
• After adding the device, it disappears from the device list. Hold and slide down to refresh the device list. If nothing changes, shut down the app and start it again.
