Does REMI Work Without WiFi?
Does REMI Work Without WiFi?
REMI requires an internet connection for its initial setup and to configure its features via the app.
1. Using REMI with WiFi
- REMI requires a WiFi connection to be set up through the app.
- WiFi is necessary to schedule alarms, timers, use the baby monitor, and modify settings.
- To play music from your smartphone on REMI, an internet connection is required (except via Bluetooth).
2. Using REMI Without WiFi
- If REMI loses its WiFi connection, it continues to execute stored schedules: alarms, timers, and face changes.
- Music and stories stored on REMI's SD card remain accessible without WiFi via the "Play" button underneath REMI.
The baby monitor feature only works when REMI is connected to WiFi. Without an internet connection, remote listening or talking via REMI is not possible.
3. Disabling WiFi at Night
To limit exposure to waves, REMI allows you to schedule automatic WiFi shutdown at night. However, if WiFi is turned off, REMI will not reconnect to the network by itself unless a second reactivation event is scheduled.
How to Schedule WiFi Shutdown and Reactivation:
- In the “Schedules” tab of the app, tap the “+” button to create a new event.
- Set the time and days you want to disable WiFi.
- At the bottom of the settings, use the WiFi toggle:
- Left position: WiFi will be turned off.
- Right position: WiFi will remain active.
Scheduling WiFi Reactivation:
- Create a second event at the time you want REMI to reconnect (e.g., 6:30 AM).
- In the settings, make sure WiFi is enabled (toggle to the right).
Create a separate WiFi shutdown event, independent of bedtime. For example, if your child goes to bed at 8:30 PM, schedule the shutdown at 10 PM to allow time for last-minute adjustments.
4. Alternative: Using Mobile Hotspot
Some users without home WiFi use their phone's mobile hotspot to configure REMI and make occasional adjustments.
