When your Owlet is connecting, it is trying to establish a connection to its base station and your Wi-Fi network. This phase happens when you first turn on your Owlet, or after it has been disconnected for a while.
During this process, the Owlet is searching for the base station and pairing with it. If the connection is successful, you will hear a sound notification, indicating that the Owlet is connected and ready to use.
While the Owlet is connecting, you may notice that the screen flashes a few times or the light ring goes from blue to yellow and back again. This is normal. It can take a few minutes for the Owlet to connect to the base station, especially if the Wi-Fi network is weak or it’s far away from the base station.
If you’re trying to connect your Owlet for the first time, make sure that the base station is powered on and is located close to your baby’s crib. Keeping the base station as close as possible to the baby will decrease the amount of time it takes for the Owlet to connect.
If you still have trouble connecting, try powering off and on the base station and restarting the Owlet app.
Why is my Owlet having connection issues?
There are a few reasons why your Owlet may be having connection issues:
1. Wireless interference. Wi-Fi networks, microwaves and baby monitors can all cause interference with the Owlet’s Base Station signal. To help reduce interference, move the Base Station and Smart Sock to different locations within your home or reduce the distance between the Base Station and the Smart Sock.
2. Base Station out of range. The Base Station is only able to communicate with the Smart Sock from 30 feet away. If the Base Station and Smart Sock are too far apart, the Base Station won’t be able to communicate with the Smart Sock and will show a connection issue.
3. Weak battery. If a Smart Sock battery is weak, it won’t be able to properly communicate with the Base Station, thus causing a connection issue. The best way to test this is to check and see if the Smart Sock needs to be recharged by removing it from the infant’s foot and placing it on the front of the Base Station while the Base Station is on the charging dock.
4. Bluetooth connection. Your Owlet device is connected to the Owlet app via Bluetooth. If the Owlet app is unable to find your Owlet, tap on the Base Station in the Owlet app and it’ll prompt you to reconnect.
If none of the above methods solve your issue, please contact Owlet support for further help.
What do you do when Owlet wont connect to Wi-Fi?
In the event that your Owlet cannot connect to Wi-Fi, the first step is to try to reset the connection by unplugging the Base Station from the wall socket and plugging it back in. Make sure the Base Station is power on and the Wi-Fi light is solid.
If this does not work, try unplugging the Base Station again and holding the pairing button for 10 seconds, then unplugging again. This will force the Base Station to reset. Then try pairing the device again by going into the Owlet app, navigating to the device setup section and following the prompt to connect the Base Station to your home Wi-Fi.
If the device still has trouble connecting, please contact Owlet Support. Our team can be reached directly at support@Owletcare. com and they will be happy to help walk you through the steps to get your Owlet connected.
How do I fix my Owlet connection?
If you are having trouble connecting to your Owlet, here are some suggestions to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the issue.
First, check to make sure the base station and the sock are both switched on and the lights are active. Make sure the base station is plugged into an outlet and the sock is connected to your Wi-Fi network.
Then, re-sync the two devices. To do this, first switch off the base station and sock, then switch them back on. This will cause your device to re-establish the connection.
If that doesn’t work, make sure you are using the most updated version of the app. If you think the app may need to be updated, log into your app store and see if any updates are available.
If the issue still persists, you can try disconnecting and then reconnecting the two devices by power cycling them. To do this, unplug the base station from the wall socket, wait a few seconds and then plug it back in.
If none of these suggestions work, you may need to contact Owlet Support for assistance.

How do I reconnect my WIFI base station?
If you need to reconnect your WIFI base station, there are a few steps you need to take.
First, you’ll need to make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your base station. This can usually be done from the manufacturer’s website or from the mobile app controlling the device.
Second, you’ll need to find the SSID (service set identifier) for your base station. This is usually found on the underside of the device, but you can also find it in the mobile app associated with the device.
Third, you’ll need to set up your base station using the information you collected in the previous steps. This should include the SSID, encryption type (either WEP, WPA, or WPA2), and password.
Fourth, you’ll need to make sure your computer or mobile device is in range of the base station. You can use the signal strength indicator in your mobile app or in the operating system of your computer to determine if you are in range.
Fifth, you’ll need to connect your computer or mobile device to the base station. If you are using a computer, this should be done via the wireless connection manager in the operating system. If you are using a mobile device, you can connect through the mobile app if available, or through your device settings.
Finally, you should test your connection to make sure it is working properly. This can be done by accessing the internet, or by creating a new network file on your base station.
Following these steps should successfully reconnect your WIFI base station. If you are having any difficulties during the setup process, your manufacturer should be able to provide more detailed instructions.
How do I manually connect to owlet?
Manually connecting to the Owlet Smart Sock is a simple process and can be done in a few easy steps.
First, make sure the power switch on the back of the base station is on. The base will automatically try to search for the Smart Sock using Bluetooth. Wait a few seconds until you see the lights on the base station start to blink.
Next, launch the Owlet App and make sure you have at least one care giver account and are logged in. Select the ‘Add New Sock’ option at the bottom of the Device Screen. Your Smart Sock should automatically appear on the list with a blue circle next to it.
Tap the blue circle beside the Smart Sock and wait a few seconds until the Smart Sock is connected. Once the Smart Sock is connected you will see a message on the app that says ‘Successfully Added’. You can now start using the Owlet App to monitor your baby’s vitals.
Does the owlet still work without Wi-Fi?
The Owlet is designed to work with an accompanying Smart Sock, a wireless sensor that is designed to monitor an infant’s heart rate and oxygen levels while they are sleeping. The Smart Sock needs to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to access the Owlet app, so without a Wi-Fi connection, the Owlet will not be able to share data with the app.
However, the Smart Sock still does its primary function of monitoring the infant’s heart rate and oxygen levels, and will still beep or light up if there is any indication that something is not right with the baby’s health.
Therefore, even without Wi-Fi, the Owlet still has some functionality.
Why is my owlet sock not connecting to base station?
There could be a few different reasons why your Owlet Smart Sock is not connecting to the base station. It’s important to make sure you have followed the setup and pairing instructions when setting up your Smart Sock.
First, ensure you have an active internet connection and that both your Smart Sock and base station are direct line of sight to each other and no more than 10 feet apart. Make sure that the base station is connected to a power source prior to pairing.
Additionally, if the base station is paired to another Smart Sock, you will need to reset it to factory settings. You can do this by unplugging the base station power adapter from the power source, pressing and holding the reset button for 5 seconds, plugging the power adapter back in and allowing the base station to power back up.
After a few minutes, the base station should be at the blinking green/purple LED for pairing a Smart Sock. Ensure your phone and the Smart Sock are in close proximity to one another and you should be able to successfully pair the devices.
How far can Owlet 3 base be from sock?
The Owlet 3 base is designed to be placed 15 to 30 feet away from the sock, away from any large objects that might interfere with the connection. It’s important to be aware of things like walls and other large objects that could obstruct the connection to the sock and decrease the distance over which the system can transmit.
Additionally, the Owlet 3 base and sock should not be more than one room away from each other. It’s best to keep the system in the same room for optimal performance.
