positioned closely to the router. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4Ghz
network, and that this is the network you are currently connected to on your
smartphone.

but cannot change the configuration in the app. To stop it appearing in the
app, you must also remove the device from the app.

is FAT32. Sometimes the microSD card may not be identified when the internet
connection is not stable.

A: Confirm that the app has been running on the phone and the relevant
reminder function has been enabled from the settings list. Ensure message
