Troubleshooting for End Users¶
Please try the following methods to narrow down the issue:
- Relogging into the app.
- Rebooting your phone or refreshing the app.
- Testing if the app functions normally on another device.
- Checking if there have been any changes to your home network settings.
- Ensuring that the device hasn't been out of power for an extended period.
Commen Issues¶
Account Login¶
- If you've just registered with an email but can't log in: Remember to check your email and click on the confirmation button to activate your account.
- If you initially registered with an email but switched to an Apple ID, Facebook account, or Google account with the same email used during app registration, they should be interchangeable.
- If you're logged out after an update: This is possible for security reasons. For account safety, please log in and out regularly to prevent unauthorized access.
Unable to Connect Device¶
- When unable to connect, ensure that your home network signal is stable. Distance from the router or walls blocking the signal can affect device connectivity.
- If you enter the Wi-Fi password and encounter a connection error, double-check if the password is correct.
- Can't find the device: If you've successfully connected before via the app, check if there have been any changes to your home network settings. If the device name doesn't appear in the Wi-Fi list during the first connection attempt, ensure the device is powered on and the dongle is properly inserted.
- If the device can't find an available SSID to connect to: Your home network settings should be set to 2.4GHz. Avoid using mixed mode for 2.4G/5GHz, and for security, it's recommended to use WPA2 encryption.
APP Operation¶
- Black screen scenario 1: The app needs to have an working internet connection on your phone to function.
- Black screen scenario 2: If the device connection fails, try again, but if the app still shows a black screen or keeps displaying "connecting," it might be due to your phone still trying to connect to the device. Go to your phone's network settings and reconnect to a working network.
