This guide shows how to update the WIFI settings for Nobi lights when the network has changed.
2 min task
What
After changing the WIFI, the Nobi lights need to be reconfigured individually. This ensures they can continue to operate and send notifications.
Why
If you update the WIFI but don’t reconfigure the lights, they will no longer connect. That means they won’t send alerts, assist with fall detection, or perform any smart functions. This process is required every time the WIFI is changed, whether at the housing unit or department level.
Important: this process only works with private WIFI networks. It does not support public WIFI.
Detailed steps
If the WIFI credentials have been changed, you must reconfigure the WIFI settings for each light. Follow the steps below for each affected light. For more information on setting up the WIFI, click here.

From the Home screen, click the three lines in the top left to open the navigation menu.

Navigate to the Rooms tab and find the correct room.
Click the three dots next to the room name.
Click 'Upload network configuration'.
Press Start Link.
Select the light from the menu.
The light will begin updating the configured WIFI settings.
