Is your Wi-Fi down and you still need to connect to your Rest+ 2nd gen to turn down the volume? Our new offline mode connection can help! While your Rest+ 2nd gen will work best with a Wi-Fi connection, if you are within "Bluetooth range" (20-30 feet) of your Hatch, you will now be able to seamlessly connect to your Rest+ 2nd gen using Bluetooth.
This feature is currently only available to users with an iOS device running iOS 17 or higher and is exclusive to our Rest 2nd gen and Rest+ 2nd gen.
How does it work?
When the app detects that your Rest+ 2nd gen is offline, the app will automatically move to establish a Bluetooth connection. When your Rest+ 2nd gen loses connection, it won't interrupt anything that you are currently playing. Your Hatch will restore the connection on its own when your Wi-Fi is back up and running!
What can I do when using offline mode?
- Alarms or other scheduled routines should play as scheduled (there may be a few minute delay)
- Please note: Hatch+ content may experience trouble with playback in BLE mode as this content requires a Wi-Fi connection for use.
- Touch ring operations - start, stop, or advance to the next routine
- Volume/brightness changes from the Hatch or the app
- Start a routine from the app
- Change volume, sound, brightness, or color for the currently playing routine.
- Access all Sleep sounds and basic color options.
