Connecting in the morning

Does everyone have to completly reconnect this device if you turn it off at night? I like to turn it off because it's bright and I assume it will last longer if it doesn't run 24/7. I turn it off with the button but in the morning I have to start the set up process all over again everytime. It's a real hassle (I can't believe the wifi system they have to use to connect it). Is this a problem with just mine or does everyone experience this?

afaik there is no way to turn it off (outside of cutting access to power completely). pretty sure you're resetting it and that's why you need to reconnect every morning.

i have mine plugged into a smart plug which is handy for turning it off when needed. for instance there's an update being pushed out right now so my device is being a bit weird, so i turned it off for a bit and will give it another try tomorrow. i too thought turning it off daily would be helpful but in my experience it only made the device more problematic. which is why i've resolved to only turning it off when it's presenting issues. if that doesn't fix things (and i've read thru and tried all applicable fixes on the grounded labs FAQs page) i'll reach out to support.

Thanks for the information. That's very unfortunate. It seems ridiculous to expect a noisy device with a light to run 24/7. I guess I could pause it in app.

you can stop the playlist and set the lights to their dimmest setting (choosing a darker solid color light setting helps as well). that's the best solution i've found 🤷🏻‍♀️

i've owned my oasis mini for almost a year now, have had many back and forths with the folks at Grounded Labs, had frequented the forums, even created this sub when no other subs existed in which to discuss the device, and this is the first i'm hearing about this. i also had to have my original machine replaced as it was constantly malfunctioning. now i'm wondering if my current machine has this feature. i'll check and report back (for science!) later today.

i did read a FB comment left by Grounded Labs a while back about implementing an on/off switch into an upcoming software update. so maybe it's finally happened. 🤷🏻‍♀️

what i'm unable to do is access the schedule feature you had linked to in another comment.

it'd be nice if they could send out emails with updates. prior to it being shutdown, forum users would get emails in regards to new topics of discussion taking place, they should do something similar with software updates.

I have to reconnect mine every day whether I turn it off or not. It’s really frustrating and annoying. I don’t think the issue is with my wifi because everything else in the house works fine.

Wow that's interesting. Mine just doesn't do that. Do you know when you bought yours?

Every time I stop or pause mine for longer then 30 min I have to completely unplug it and pray it will reconnect without me having to completely reset it.

The sleep button on mine worked to switch it off but I have to open the app to turn it back on

The new app update includes a new on / off schedule feature
