Yale Connect Bridge displays its current status through an LED indicator light on the
front of the device. This article will help you determine the status displayed by
the LED indicator and provide troubleshooting steps that can be taken to improve
functionality.
General Troubleshooting
Yale Connect Bridge uses Bluetooth to communicate with your Yale Assure. There are a number
of potential reasons for poor communication between your Yale Assure and
Yale Connect Bridge. For best results:
- Make sure your Yale Connect Bridge is within Bluetooth range (typically within 30
feet. We recommend less than 15 feet for optimal performance)
- Make sure the batteries in your Yale Assure have enough charge
- Ensure your Yale Assure is operable using the August App in normal mode
(not remote connect mode) standing near the location of your Yale Connect Bridge
- Yale Connect Bridge needs a good Wi-Fi connection with access to the Internet to
function
- Ensure your home network is online
If you continue to have issues, remove Yale Connect Bridge from the power outlet, restart
your home Access Point and plug Yale Connect Bridge back in to the outlet.
Additional information and troubleshooting steps for Yale Connect Bridge is below. Select
either Red Light, Green Light, or No Light depending on the LED behavior your

permanently knocked offline (if it was set up)
|
Reset the Connect. Leave the Connect plugged into the
wall and hold down the round reset button on the
front of the device for 5 seconds, then let go. The

flow again to reconfigure.

Wireless configuration timeout
|
Connect is unable to connect to your Wi-Fi network.
It may help to move your Connect closer to your
Wi-Fi router and retry setup.
If you have two wireless access points that have the
same network name and password, one of them may need
to be reconfigured. If you’d like to keep two
separate networks, change the name of one of them.
If you’d like one to increase the range of your
network, you may need to reconfigure one of the
routers.

The Connect is online and is functioning normally; OR 2) An unknown
issue has occurred and it has fallen offline. Check the status of
Yale Connect Bridge in the August App settings.
If Connect stops displaying light activity, try unplugging it and
plugging it into a different outlet. If after 10 seconds the unit
does not display any light activity, please contact Customer
