Using your uHoo

Yes, your uHoo needs a constant Wi-Fi connection in order to operate.

If you check the logs of your Wi-Fi router, you will see that your uHoo device will disconnect and reconnect every minute. This is part of the energy-saving feature of your device.

You don’t need to manually update the firmware. Your uHoo checks for new firmware updates every 24 hours and will automatically download and update itself if an update is available.

To connect your device to a different Wi-Fi network, you would need to reset your uHoo and set it up with the new network. You can read this article to understand how to reset your uHoo.

Yes, you can connect your uHoo to your mobile hotspot. However, this option is only available if you’ve already successfully setup your uHoo with an existing Wi-Fi network. If it is a brand new device that has never been setup, this option will not work. You can read how to do this on this article.

The gas sensors (carbon dioxide, VOC, nitrogen dioxide and ozone) require a warm up period during first time use. The carbon dioxide sensor requires at least 48 hours of continuous use for it to complete the warm up, while the VOC, nitrogen dioxide and ozone sensors require at least 24 hours of continuous use.

If the warm up is interrupted (device turned off, power failure or power fluctuation or the device being disconnected from the network), the warmup will restart from the beginning and will need another 48 hours or 24 hours, depending on which gas sensor. This warm up needs to be conducted only once.

During the warmup period, the readings will fluctuate and you can ignore the data. Once the warmup is completed, your readings will automatically adjust.

The reset button deletes the Wi-Fi network stored in the device, and brings your uHoo back to set up mode so you can connect it to a different Wi-Fi network.

No, it won’t. Resetting your uHoo will not reset your uHoo account in the uHoo app and will not delete your historical data. The reset button mainly deletes the Wi-Fi network stored inside your device and brings the device back to setup mode.
