Tutorial 100:47

When something's wrong

When something doesn't work, the watch says what it is. Here is what each message means, and the fix for it.

Tutorial 10: When something's wrong. The AmazHA mascot next to the title of the tutorial.

Step by step

  1. No devices selected

    Every device starts hidden: switch on the ones you want in Devices, in the AmazHA settings.

  2. Offline · No answer from the phone

    The watch can't reach your phone. Keep the phone nearby, with Bluetooth on and the Zepp app running.

  3. Offline · Home Assistant unreachable

    Your phone can't reach Home Assistant. Open your address in the phone's browser: it must work from where the phone is, and away from home it needs https with a valid certificate.

  4. Wrong address

    The address answers, but it isn't the Home Assistant API. Use only the server address, with nothing after it (no /lovelace).

  5. Admin token needed

    The token belongs to a user without administrator rights. Create a new long-lived token as an administrator and paste it in.

  6. Check the token

    The token has a character no token has, usually from a shortened copy (…). Copy it again, all of it, and paste it.

  7. The watch is slow or restarts

    Too many devices. Keep the selection small: a few dozen stay fast, and 100 is the limit.

  8. Still stuck? Reset cache & local data

    In Preferences, tap Reset cache, then Tap again to confirm. It clears the cached data on the watch and the phone, and keeps your connection, devices and license. Then reopen AmazHA on the watch.

Good to know

The small code under Offline tells support exactly what failed. If you write to us, a photo of the watch helps.
