If that doesn’t fix the issue, try uninstalling the app and installing it again. - If nothing else works, perform a factory reset by unplugging and plugging the power supply of your Withings Aura™ back in five times.
- Make sure that the Aura is within 10 feet of your mobile device while performing these steps.

You get an error message during the installation
- If you get a DNS Error or DCHP Error during the installation process, click here.
- If you get an HTTP error, make sure your Wi-Fi network doesn't require to enter a password on a webpage (for free or shared Wi-Fi networks) or that it's not behind a proxy.
- If you get a Wi-Fi error 2, make sure you entered the right password.
- If you get a Wi-Fi error 3, 4 or 5 message during the installation process, it's most likely because:
- You are trying to use a 5 GHz network, which is not supported. Try connecting to a 2.4 GHz network instead.
- Your Wi-Fi network is configured for something other than 802.11b/g/n (e.g. e.g. 802.11ac).
If your network is compatible, get closer to your router and reinstall your Withings Aura™. - If you get a Wi-Fi error 6, reboot your router, make sure it authorizes new products to connect, and start installing your Withings Aura™ again.

The sleep sensor is not recognized during the installation process
If the sleep sensor is not recognized during the installation process, perform the following steps:
- Make sure you don’t plug in the sensor until the app prompts you to.
Plugging it in too early can keep it from being detected. - Make sure you plug the sensor in one of the two USB ports on the left.
The USB port on the right is only meant to be used to charge devices.
