I cannot connect my Philips Heater or Fan with the App
Published on 28 August 2024
If you are unable to connect your Philips Heater or Fan to the app, find possible causes and solutions in the article below.
There can be several reasons why the Wi-Fi connection between your appliance and smartphone is not working. Follow these steps to solve the issue:
Please make sure that your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network at home, and not to a 5GHz or public Wi-Fi network. To successfully pair up, we recommend turning off your mobile data before initiating the pairing process.
Also, do not forget to enable the following permissions on your smartphone: "Location", "Storage", "Bluetooth", and "Local Network".
Please ensure that you have entered the correct Wi-Fi password as it is case-sensitive and has a 63-character restriction limit. Note that special symbols are not accepted, so avoid using them.
Check that the network name (SSID) of your home Wi-Fi is correct. Please remember that the network name is case-sensitive.
If you are using a VPN on your smartphone, please turn it off before the pairing process.
If your router has a whitelist that blocks pairing, please disable it to ensure successful pairing.
Keep both your appliance and smartphone within 10 meters of the Wi-Fi router.
Make sure that you have updated the App to the latest version.
Please note that other electronic devices, sparkling light sources, or signal stations might interfere with the Wi-Fi connection. Try to keep your appliance away from such sources and attempt to pair it with the Wi-Fi again.
If the previous steps do not resolve the issue, please check the app for additional Wi-Fi information or contact us for further assistance.
