Troubleshooting

1. Internet Hub Connectivity Issues:

Problem: The hub doesn’t connect to the Internet.

Solution:

• Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected to both the hub and the router.
• Check if other devices are connected to the Internet to rule out general connectivity issues.
• Restart both the hub and your router.
• If using backup batteries, check if they are operational.

2. Sensor Connectivity Issues:

Problem: A particular sensor (e.g., door/window or motion sensor) doesn’t communicate with the hub.

Solution:

• Ensure the sensor is within range of the Internet hub.
• Check the battery of the sensor and replace if necessary.
• Re-add the sensor to the SkylinkNet App by going to “Setup Wizard” > “Add Device” and following the on-screen instructions.

3. SkylinkNet App Issues:

Problem: The app doesn’t show the real-time status of sensors or fails to control the system.

5. False Alarms or No Alarm Trigger:

Problem: The alarm gets triggered without any apparent reason or doesn’t trigger when expected.

Solution:

• Ensure that the sensors are installed properly. For instance, the two parts of a door/window sensor should be aligned.
• Check if there’s any obstruction or source of interference for the motion sensor.
• Make sure the system is set to the appropriate mode (e.g., “Arm Home” vs. “Arm Away”).

6. Notification Issues:

Problem: Not receiving push notifications on your phone.

Solution:

• Check app permissions on your phone to ensure SkylinkNet is allowed to send notifications.
• Ensure you’re logged into the correct SkylinkNet account.
• Verify the Internet connection for both your smartphone and the hub.

7. Time & Date Mismatch:

Problem: The time or date on the system doesn’t match the current time/date.

Solution:
