Hi, I’m trying to connect a new Bridge. Upon initial startup, it was detected in the app, and I was able to enter my Wi-Fi details. It then started updating, but once that was finished, I couldn’t connect to the Bridge. It says “BLE manager not started.”  
I’ve also tried using a different phone.  
I can’t find any answers online.  
What should I do?

Maybe restart the Bridge (power off/on)?

You could try to factory reset the Bridge following these steps:

> I finally got an answer from Arno from homey and everything works fine now! The solution was: disable router and WiFi, unplug the Bridge and replug it. It then looks for a known WiFi and since that is missing, it automatically goes to setup mode with bluetooth and the pulsating blue ring. Then switched router and WiFi on again and added the Bridge in the Homey App again. That’s it! Thanks for all your in put and help! Thomas
