Help with Silvia Ready
Stuck? Most problems are one of the ones below. If not, email me at marcin@nglx.io and tell me your iPhone model and what you see.
The app doesn't find my machine
- Switch the machine on. The controller only shows up over Bluetooth while it has power.
- Close any other app connected to the controller. It accepts one connection at a time.
- Check that Bluetooth is on and allowed for Silvia Ready in iOS Settings.
- You need the Bluetooth LE version of meCoffee. The older Bluetooth Classic module doesn't work with iPhones.
No notifications when the app is closed
- Allow notifications for Silvia Ready in iOS Settings.
- Don't swipe the app away in the app switcher. After that, iOS stops waking it until you open it again.
- After restarting your iPhone, open the app once.
- Stay within Bluetooth range of the machine, roughly one room.
Changing controller settings
Settings live on the controller, not in the app, and apply to every app that connects to it. Each one shows the meCoffee default. Jot down your current values before you experiment. The hardware settings describe how the controller is wired into your machine, so only touch them to match your installation.
The wake-up timer starts at the wrong time
The timers use the controller's own clock. Silvia Ready sets it to your iPhone's time every time it connects, so let it connect once after a power cut or a daylight-saving change.
Is this an official meCoffee app?
No, it's an independent app I made for my own machine. For hardware problems with the controller itself, contact the shop you bought it from.
