The upcoming firmware defaults to the browser recovery flow below. Bluetooth setup and recovery remain disabled until the phone app update is live. This feature is not released; it requires the matching firmware, Web and Cloud updates.
This flow is implemented locally but has not been released or physically validated. It requires compatible Niblet firmware and Web/Cloud releases. Do not use these button instructions for stock Tidbyt firmware or Gen 2.

​
Change Wi-Fi and keep your apps

Open the Wi-Fi recovery page from your display settings while your computer still has internet. Keep that page open when changing networks.
  1. With your Gen 1 powered on, release its rear button if held, then hold it for five seconds. Release it when the setup code appears. An ongoing network operation can delay the setup screen. Short presses do nothing.
  2. Join NIBLET-SETUP-xxxx, using the eight-digit code as the Wi-Fi password. Stay connected even if your computer reports no internet.
  3. Return to the recovery page and allow local-network access. Select Check display, then enter its code and your new 2.4 GHz network details.
  4. Watch the display. An accepted request is not yet a successful connection. If the code returns, rejoin the setup network and check/retry. When connected, return your computer to its usual Wi-Fi and check the dashboard.
Your installed apps, account connection, schedules, brightness and saved content remain. Credentials pass directly from the browser to your display, never to Cloud or browser storage. The old network is retained until a new one connects and saves. An internet or Cloud outage does not undo a saved Wi-Fi change. An online display can receive Open Wi-Fi setup on display from its owner, after confirmation. An offline display cannot receive that command and needs physical recovery. The temporary session expires after 15 minutes; you can also cancel it with the displayed code. Both keep the saved network.

​
Full local reset

A five-second button hold only opens recovery. It never wipes your display. To erase local customer data, open recovery with the Gen 1 rear button, join its setup network, select Check display, enter the current display code, and type RESET under Full local reset. Select Erase local data. Keep power connected until a new setup code appears. A remotely opened Wi-Fi session does not permit reset. If a firmware update is still awaiting confirmation, let it finish before resetting. Reset removes saved Wi-Fi, the Cloud credential, local settings and cached apps and images. It keeps Niblet firmware installed. If interrupted after acceptance, erasure resumes when the display restarts. This is a customer-data reset, not a promise of forensic flash sanitization.

​
Removing a display from your account

Remove display in the dashboard deletes the Cloud display and its app configuration and revokes its Cloud access. It does not erase data from the physical device. Full local reset does not delete the Cloud record. Before giving the display away, remove it from your account and complete the physical local reset. If you reset while offline first, remove the old Cloud record when internet returns. New setup creates a new display; old app configuration is not automatically restored.

​
Older firmware and Gen 2

Gen 2 rear-button recovery is not part of this implementation. Devices that cannot run this recovery flow need the model-specific USB recovery instructions. First-install flashing erases local data and is separate from changing Wi-Fi.
