I connected my NovoConnect device to my school’s WiFi a few days ago. This morning I notice that it switches back to Hotspot mode by itself. What happened?

Firmware version 1.4 or older has an “automatic switching” mechanism. Namely, When your school’s WiFi is down, NovoConnect devices will switch back to Hotspot mode automatically as a mean to continue operation without external WiFi network.
In firmware version 1.5, a new option is introduced to allow users to opt out of this “automatic switching” mechanism. Please refer to question “How to connect a NovoConnect device to my WiFi network?”

I can’t connect to the NovoConnect unit either by scanning the QR code or entering its IP address.

Here is a check-list you may look into

  1. Verify your PC or tablet is connected to the same WiFi network as the NovoConnect device is.
  2. Verify the IP address you enter matches the one displayed on the screen.
  3. If PIN code is enabled, verify the PIN code you enter matches the one displayed on the screen.
  4. Re-launch the PC/Mac or Tablet App.
    If the above fails, your WiFi network may have firewall turned on. In this case, you will need help form your IT department. Please refer to related “Network Configuration” documentation available at
