  3. Tap on “Settings” in the top right corner

How do I reinstall my Minut Smart Home Alarm?

When you reinstall Minut, all data connected to the device is lost. 

  1. Click on "Minuts" in the bottom menu
  2. Tap the + sign in the top right corner
  3. Follow the instructions in the app

Your old device is automatically removed from your account. 

Wi-Fi Network requirements

The distance between your Minut device and your router can affect the signal strength which in turn can affect the battery lifetime of your Minut. The longer the distance, the more power is required by Minut’s antenna to connect to your router.

Minut will only work on a 2.4GHz network. All routers on the market today supports 2.4GHz, but not all support 5GHz. Many modern routers offers both options simultaneously. If this is the case, it is important that Minut can see and connect to the 2.4GHz network. Sometimes these networks use the same name (called SSID). If you have trouble connecting your Minut, it may help to change the name of one of the networks so that Minut can find the 2.4GHz network specifically.

Firewall settings

Minut relies on DHCP for IP assignment (which is enabled by default on all residential routers) and will send outgoing traffic on TCP (destination port 25500) and UDP (destination port 1988). It does not currently support networks with proxy servers, WPA2 Enterprise-secured wireless networks, WPS configuration or networks using statically assigned IP addresses.

Known problematic routers

While rare, we are aware that Minut may not work as well with the following routers as intended. In most cases, Minut takes unusually long to connect to the internet. 

  • AVM Fritz!Box 7560
  • Tilgin HG2381-EU (Bahnhof branded)
  • Tilgin HG2501-EU (Bahnhof branded)
  • Netgear Nighthawk R7000
