How to Manually Reboot Launch Device

[SheldonC_]

I’m hoping it’s a user error, but is there a way to manually reboot my Launch without unplugging it from the wall? My router did an update overnight and I woke up to the ‘WiFi’ light being red on my device. In the app it said the device wasn’t responding so I couldn’t reboot. I tried using the backup Bluetooth connection which worked, but it said it was effectively read only so I couldn’t reboot from there.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Maybe I need to make Bluetooth the primary connection and let WiFi be read only?

You cannot use bluetooth as a primary connection. The controller has to have internet access to do any setup changes. It this case I would first do a power down reboot on the router wait a few minutes and if it does not reconnect then do a power down reboot on the controller. Apparently it is not in a collective with other controllers. I can reboot mine when the wifi is red but they are in a collective. So it must send the reboot signal via the collective.

You are correct, this is a solo device on a nano tank so it isn’t in a collective. Very helpful information!
