Connectivity Modes
For full functionality Red Sea's connected devices must be permanently connected to the Internet and the
aquarium set as "Online".
In the event that you do not have an available Wi-Fi network or your network does not have a permanent
internet connection set your aquarium as "Offline". You can change this setting later if Internet availability
status changes. Note that your mobile must be online for this change to be registered on the ReefBeat cloud.
In both Online and Offline modes, the ReefDose will provide exactly the same performance. The differences
are related to the ease of set up and interaction with other Red Sea connected devices.
Online (Internet) mode - full functionality
With a permanent connection to the internet, your ReefDose will have full functionality and all ReefBeat
cloud related services. This includes real time status of your ReefDose in the ReefBeat homepage and
notifications if communication with the ReefDose has been lost or if it is malfunctioning.
Offline Local Network mode - partial functionality
The ReefDose is connected to a home network without a permanent internet connection, and
aquarium is set as Offline.
In Offline mode, your mobile will need to be connected to the same network as your Red Sea
connected devices in order to communicate with them. When connected to the same network, you
will see the real time status on the homepage and have full functionality, except for Notifications,
which cannot be done offline.
When your mobile is not connected to the same network, no current data about the device will be
shown in the ReefBeat homepage. You can change the settings from Offline to Online from “My
Aquariums” in the homepage main menu.
Offline Direct mode - Limited functionality
If your ReefDose is not connected to a network, you will need to connect to its access point directly
from your mobile every time you wish to access it. When connected to the ReefDose in Direct mode,
you will not have any functionality that relates to other connected devices.
When your mobile is not connected to the ReefDose, no current data about the device will be shown in
the ReefBeat homepage. Notifications are not available for offline units.
When operating in direct mode, you can decide if you want to leave the ReefDose AP active all the
time or turn it on/off with the Settings button for access as needed.
At any point in time, you can connect a Direct mode unit to a Home Network: Device Manager > Device
Line menu > About > Connect.
