Understanding the August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge
- The August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge is a device that allows you to control your August Smart Lock remotely over the internet.
- Resetting the device can be necessary if you are experiencing connectivity issues or if you need to set it up with a new Wi-Fi network.
Preparing to Reset the Device
- Ensure that the August Connect Bridge is plugged into a power outlet and located within range of your Wi-Fi router.
- Have the August Home app installed on your smartphone, as you may need it to complete the setup after the reset.
Resetting the Wi-Fi Bridge
- Locate the reset button on the device. This is usually a small button that may require a paperclip or a similar object to press.
- Press and hold the reset button for about 5 seconds. You might notice the LED indicator light on the device flashing, which signifies that the reset process has begun.
- Release the button once the LED indicator starts blinking a different color or pattern, indicating that the reset has been successful.
Reconnecting to Your Wi-Fi Network
- Open the August Home app on your smartphone.
- Follow the in-app instructions to add a new device. Choose the August Connect Wi-Fi Bridge from the list of available devices.
- Follow the prompts to connect the bridge to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure you have your Wi-Fi password ready.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- If the reset process does not seem to work, ensure that you are holding the reset button for the full 5 seconds or a little longer if needed.
- Check your Wi-Fi network to ensure it is functioning correctly. Weak or inconsistent Wi-Fi signals can affect the performance of the bridge.
- If issues persist, consider contacting August Home’s customer support for further assistance.
