Question 1

WiFi issues or "No Canvia device found in your network" issue , what to do?"

Please check if your mobile app and Canvia(same wifi that you added at the time of registration or last usage) are in the same wifi network. Following information is very useful w.r.t to WiFi connection
 
1. Under any situation, you can connect using manual mode(feed IP address manually) from mobile app
2. You can use desktop app for any thing that you can do using mobile app, so check WiFi connection one time from desktop app and you can also see IP address in the desktop app
3. You can bring device to AP mode in any new location using back button of reset and connect to new WiFi crdentials(SSID and password)
 
Get in touch with the support team if you have more questions.

Question 2

How can I overcome 401 error on mobile app or desktop app?

Accepted Answer

401 error occurs in mobile app or desktop app when token is expired. To refresh token, log out and log back in the mobile app ( while being connected to home/office WiFi) and this 401 error should go away. In recent mobile app releases, this error may be fixed.
 
In desktop app also, if you see "Request failed with status code 401" logout and log back in, it will overcome this error code.
 
Get in touch with support@canvia.art if you continue to face this issue.

Question 3

My Canvia is stuck on a single image - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If you have more than one queued item, check if playback has been paused: go to your Canvia web account (https://my.canvia.art), look to the bottom of the screen and in the web controller you might see a 'paused' symbol. Click this to 'play' and revert to playing back all items in the queue.
 
Alternatively, it's possible the playback interval has been set to a high value (e.g. days) - go to your Canvia web account (https://my.canvia.art), look to the bottom of the screen and in the web controller click on the cog icon (Settings). Find the Playback Duration section and check what has been set.

Question 4

I need to change the Wi-Fi network used by Canvia

Accepted Answer

Before you can change the registered Wi-Fi network, you must first revert Canvia to 'AP mode'. You can do this (i)via the Canvia app (while still connected to the original Wi-Fi network) or (ii) by directly on the Canvia device.
(i)
Select 'Settings' from the app's main menu and scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen. Select 'Set AP'. In a few moments, you should see the following message appear on your Canvia's display: 'Device is in access point mode...'
(ii)
"You can press 3 times(or more) within 5sec a white press button (hidden inside the hole) that is just by the side of black button. You will need the front tip of a pen to press this hidden white press-button."
 
You can now re-connect Canvia with the new Wi-Fi network in the usual way. See canvia.art/setup for registration instructions.

I see blank or black screen , what to do?"

Accepted Answer

Check Following Steps
 
(i) Sleep or awake mode: Toggle this from mobile app, web app or desktop app. Its possible that your device is in sleep mode
 
(ii) Check sensor: Is sensor (located on wood frame) covered completely or it is getting really less light then frame will turn off. Allow minimum lighting for device to operate.
