TROUBLESHOOTING
-
Failure to setup the device via the UbiBot App There are several factors that will affect the setup process.
The followings are common issues:
a) WiFi setup mode: make sure you turn on the WiFi setup mode. (The indicator flashes alternately red and green).
b) WiFi frequency: Only 2.4GHz networks, channels 1-13.
c) WiFi password: Go through the WiFi setup again to ensure that you have set the correct WiFi password.
d) WiFi security type: The WS1 supports OPEN, WEP, or WPA/WPA2 types.
e) WiFi channel width: Make sure it is set to 20MHz or “Auto”.
f) Battery problems: WiFi uses a lot of power. Your device may be able to power on but may not have enough power for the WiFi. Try replacing the batteries.
g) Try with the PC Tools. This tool is much easier to operate and can return specific errors. -
View the data when there is no WiFi connection In the situations where your WiFi network is down, the device continues to collect environmental data and store it in its internal memory.
There are three ways to access the data on the device with- out a WiFi connection:
a) Move the device to an area where there is a WiFi connec- tion which the device can connect to. Press the button to trigger a manual data sync. The indicator should flash green for a few seconds. You can now take the device back to the measurement location (Recommended).
b) Use your mobile phone and enable Internet Connection Sharing. This can work well in situations where your devices are installed in an area with limited or no WiFi coverage.
c) Use a laptop and the Micro USB cable to connect to the device manually. You can now perform a data export to your computer using the PC Tools. -
Failure to sync data
Please check the following things:
a) Check that the device is powered on. Press the button and listen for a beep. If the indicator flashes green, then the sync is working. If it flashes red once then there is another prob- lem. Try the next steps.
b) Check that the device has sufficient battery power for the WiFi to work. WiFi takes a lot of power- the device may be on, but unable to connect to the WiFi. Please try to plug the device to USB power or change a new pair of batteries, then press the power button to manually sync data.
c) Make sure your device’s WiFi router has a working Internet connection (for instance, try to access www.ubibot.com using a mobile connected to the same WiFi).
d) Check that the WiFi connection is working properly, if need be, go through the WiFi setup again.
e) If your WiFi password has changed or you move the device to a new WiFi environment, you need to go through the WiFi setup again. -
The PC Tools failed to recognise the device
a) Please check if you are using the USB cable provided in the packaging. Some other USB cable is not 4-wire which cannot offer data transmission.
b) Please remove the splitter if there is one connected.
