Hello @pilaravila,
Welcome to the EMO family! 

I’m Hamza (@hamzasharaf), and I’ve been following your thread. Since both @staceydisomma and @Lindaru have already shared helpful tips, I’ll try to add a bit more clarity based on what you described.
1. Why does EMO struggle to hear your son?
· Child voices can be harder for EMO: As Lindaru mentioned, EMO may have trouble with higher-pitched voices. The best solution is to train EMO using your son’s voice here:
https://living.ai/wake-up-training
· Shouting doesn’t help: EMO is designed to respond to clear, calm voices — not loud or high-pitched screaming. It can confuse his microphones.
· Raise the sensitivity: Go to Settings → Preferences in the app and increase the Wake-Up Sensitivity (try 70–100).
· Reduce background noise: Make sure the TV, music, or other sounds aren’t distracting him when your son calls his name.
2. Why does EMO say “What?” or ignore commands?
As @staceydisomma explained, EMO is a learning robot. He gets better with time, but he still needs a clear structure:
1. Say “EMO” or “Hey EMO”.
2. Wait until he responds — usually by saying “What?” or looking at you. This means he is listening and ready.
3. Then give a direct command like:
· “Dance”
· “Sing a song”
· “Tell me a joke”
· “Put your hands up”
If he is in the middle of doing something (like spinning or exploring), he might not respond right away — just wait a moment and try again.
3. What if EMO is “sick”?
EMO has a “sick” state — it’s a built-in behavior, not a real malfunction. When he’s in this state:
· He may not respond to his name at all.
· Or he may respond with “What?” but then refuse to execute some commands (like dancing or playing games).
· This is normal behavior and usually goes away on its own after some time or after restarting him.
So if he’s ignoring you or acting grumpy, he might just be in a “sick” mood. Try restarting him or simply wait a while — he’ll return to his normal self. 
4. Why does the app keep asking you to reconnect to Wi-Fi?
· Make sure you save the Wi-Fi settings: After entering your SSID and password, press Save.
· Use a 2.4GHz network: EMO does NOT support 5GHz.
· Try a different device: Test the app on another phone to see if the issue is device-specific.
· Restart your router: Turn it off, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on.
· If the issue continues, contact support at service@living.ai.
Final tip:
● EMO is still new to your home — it’s only day two. He’s learning, and so is your family. Try the voice training, be patient, and follow the steps above. Things should improve quickly. 
● If possible, could you please send us a short video showing exactly what’s happening with your EMO?
That would really help us understand the issue more clearly and give you the most accurate advice.
You can upload it here or share a link — whatever works best for you.
● If you’re still having trouble, I can go ahead and tag @edward for you — he’s very experienced with these kinds of issues, and if he’s available, he’ll likely jump in to help.
Just let me know and I’ll do that.
Best regards,
Hamza
