Here’s what to do if your Alertify device is offline
If your Alertify device is showing as offline, don’t worry—there are a few simple steps you can take to troubleshoot and get it back online quickly.
Before doing anything with the device itself, confirm that your Wi-Fi is working properly. Follow these steps:
Test your internet: Try loading a website or using another Wi-Fi-connected device in the same location as your Alertify device to ensure your network is functional.
Check for outages: If other devices aren’t connecting, there may be an internet service outage in your area. Contact your internet provider for updates.
Ensure your Wi-Fi signal is strong: If your Alertify device is far from the router or behind thick walls, the signal may be weak. Try moving it closer or improving coverage with a Wi-Fi extender.
Once you've confirmed that your Wi-Fi is working, wait 5 minutes to allow your Alertify device to automatically reconnect.
If your device doesn’t reconnect after 5 minutes, you may need to manually restart it. Follow these steps:
Locate your device: Find the plugged-in Alertify device that is offline.
Find the reset button: Look for a small hole at the bottom of the device.
Use a pin to reset: Insert a pin (or a similar thin object) into the hole while it is still plugged into the power socket and hold it for 5 seconds until you hear a buzzing sound.
Wait for the reboot: After resetting, allow 5 minutes for the device to restart and reconnect.
Once the reboot is complete, check your Alertify dashboard to see if the device is online.
If your device appears as active, the issue is resolved.
If it’s still offline, consider checking for Wi-Fi interference, moving the device closer to the router, or restarting your router.
