Network & Connectivity

Setting Up and Changing the Wi-Fi Connection

Both Kachaka and Kachaka Pro rely on the Wi-Fi at your home or site so the app can control them, run schedules, and send notifications. Whenever you change routers, update your Wi-Fi password, or want to move the robot onto a different network, use the “Reconfigure Wi-Fi” flow described here. The whole setup is done from the app, and the robot picks up the new Wi-Fi credentials by scanning a QR code on your phone with its front camera.

If you are doing the initial setup, read this alongside the First-Time Setup walkthrough.

Steps to Reconfigure Wi-Fi

  1. Open the Kachaka app and switch to the “Settings” tab.

  2. Under “Kachaka settings,” tap the Kachaka you want to configure.

  3. Tap “Reconfigure Wi-Fi” in the center of the screen.

  4. Follow the on-screen guidance until the Wi-Fi QR code screen is generated.

  5. Now put Kachaka into scanning mode using one of these two methods:

    • Start by voice: Say to Kachaka, “ねぇカチャカ、ワイファイの設定”.
    • Start by button: Long-press the multi-function button next to the rear camera for about 3 seconds.

  6. When Kachaka begins its voice guidance and the front LED starts blinking, it has entered Wi-Fi setup mode and is ready to scan.

  7. Following the voice guidance, hold your phone’s QR code up to Kachaka’s front camera, bringing it within about 10 cm so it can read the code. Once the read succeeds, the robot connects to the new Wi-Fi on its own.

During setup, return the robot to its charging dock, turn up your phone’s screen brightness, and show the full QR code to make a clean read on the first try.

When Voice Won’t Start the Scan

If you say “ねぇカチャカ、ワイファイの設定” but the QR code reader does not start, the voice command most likely was not received. Check the following in order:

As soon as Kachaka begins announcing that it is starting Wi-Fi setup, it has entered reading mode — just follow step 7 and aim the QR code at the front camera.

If It Won’t Connect After Setup

If you followed the flow but it shows a connection error, or the QR code won’t read at all, work through these pages:
