Are you having trouble connecting?

Sometimes connecting to your Somnox doesn't work. Below you'll find the most common reasons and solutions for this.

The app can't find my Somnox device

After looking for available Somnox devices your app shows 'No Somnox found'. There can be multiple reasons why your Somnox was not found:

  • The necessary Bluetooth or Location permissions have not been given or the necessary Bluetooth or Location services are not turned on. The app will automatically check this and request you to grant permissions or turn these services on.

  • Your Somnox is turned off. Turn on your Somnox.

  • Your Somnox is charging. Remove the charger from your Somnox.

  • Your Somnox is located more than 10 meters away from your mobile or tablet device. Bring the Somnox and mobile device closer to each other.

  • Your Somnox is already connected to a different mobile device. Disconnect your Somnox from the other mobile device.

  • Your Somnox is performing an update.

  • Your Somnox is in 'airplane mode'. Turn off airplane mode, more information can be found here.

The app shows multiple available Somnox devices

Sometimes the app finds multiple Somnox devices even though you don't expect this to happen. It could be that there are more Somnox devices close by, but in most cases its a mistake by the app. Because of this, it can happen that you connect to an incorrect Somnox device. This is how you can check whether you have the right one:

  1. Note the first four characters of your discovered Somnox device (this is helpful for later).

  2. Tap on one of the discovered Somnox devices.

  3. After connecting and syncing, go the the 'Somnox' tab.

  4. Tap on the 'user' icon at the top.

  5. Check what the app says underneath the header 'Somnox version'.

    1. Does it say '0'? Then you're not connected to the right Somnox. Continue with Step 6.

    2. Does it say something else (e.g. 4.0.0)? Then you are connected to the right Somnox.

  6. Tap on 'Unpair' or 'Disconnect' further down in the screen.

  7. Search for available Somnox devices again and connect to the other Somnox this time. Repeat steps 3 through 5 again.

The Somnox is discovered but connection fails

You've tapped on your discovered Somnox but the connection or synchronisation fails. Sometimes the popup 'Failed' shows up. Sometimes the popup freezes and keeps showing forever.

In this case we advice you to close the app (by swiping it away) and open the app again. Also we advice to turn off and turn on the Somnox once before trying again.
