If you are not sure what may cause the offline issue, you can run the diagnosis function in the app. Click “Me” on the bottom of the app and selecting Settings ? Network Diagnosis. The app will automatically run a full diagnosis check for the network environment.  

1. Confirm device is powered on.
2. Confirm the device is reset to pairing mode and the indicator light is blinking.
3. Make sure that the signal of the network environment where the device is located is strong and stable. Put the device, smartphone and router closer to each other.
4. Confirm that your smartphone is connected to a correct Wi-Fi frequency (some device only supports 2.4GHz).
5. If you are using iOS 14, please make sure you have opened the local network permission and wireless data permission of the App.

2. Check whether the router has been replaced, or the Wi-Fi name or password has been changed. If so, remove your device and then add it to the network again.
3. Please confirm whether the device has just updated the firmware. The device will be disconnected from the network when updating firmware, and will automatically connect to the network after the update is completed. However, if your network is unstable, it will be unable to reconnect automatically. In this case, the device needs to be removed and added again.
4. Please check if the Wi-Fi signal of the device is too poor (for example: there are several walls between the device and the router; the device is surrounded by a metal shell or there are metal objects nearby; nearby high-power appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators).
5. Check the distance between router and device. The device would go offline when the distance is too large. Re-position router or device, or add a Wi-Fi signal extender.
6. Check whether the firmware is the latest version. To check this on the app, choose Home - Tap device icon - Top right button - Check for Firmware Updates.
7. If the device goes offline after a period of use, please try to restart the router, wait 3 minutes and observe the status of the device. If the device can work normally after that, it indicates that the router is overloaded due to long-term high-load use, and you need to replace it with a more powerful one, or reduce the number of devices connected to the router.
8. You can also use a mobile hotspot as Wi-FI source to connect the device, to check the device status to know whether the offline issue was caused by the unstable Wi-Fi network.
