Troubleshooting
NEXX smart NXG-200 shared user not able to access the door?
At certain times the person whom you shared access to your NXG 200, isn’t able to activate the door. In such cases, the display presents “You Can Activate The Device From Bluetooth Only”. View the ”Just Share” screen on the owner’s account and press the “Only BLE Activation Allowed” option to enable it. In this way, the shared person will be allowed to access the device via Bluetooth only. This method is created to handle any false security breaches around your location. Thus, it restricts the person from accessing the door over the web, while actually not being around it physically.
The LED blue light blinking configuration issue on the NXG 200?
The NXG200 doesn’t actually connect to the 5 GHz network frequency. Make sure you consist of a 2.4 GHz Network connection flow. Wait for some time, after tapping the “Configure” device and let it connect to the Wi-Fi robotically. After 5 to 7 minutes, check if the light blinks “blue” constantly. This indicates the Wi-Fi catching by the NXG on the server is successful. However, if you are unable to connect to the network, try going through these written exceptions. Inspect if your device has an active Internet connection. If yes, examine the firewall structure built on the platform. Try and filter the issue that’s averting the NEXX NXG from accessing the cloud server. If you find it difficult, instead create a guest network of 2.4 GHz bandwidth. Furthermore, connect the guest network with NXG200 and it will work just fine.
Incorrect status displayed on the NXG 200 wireless sensor?
If the NEXX app shows “Unknown Status”, this means the error is caused by the sensor itself. If the sensor can’t accept commands, features like “status”, “notification”, “activity”, “schedule” etc. won’t work. To quickly get rid of this problem take the sensor out of its place and charge its battery (23A 12V Alkaline). After adding a new battery try shaking it. This will juggle up the internal gyro sensor of the NXG wireless sensor. Place it back to its original position, but this time provide a covering to it. Doing that will save it from dust, heat, water, etc. Maintain positioning and strong connection to the base unit, try using it after that and it will definitely work.
