Embodied’s CEO Paolo Pirjanian just announced more information about the OpenMoxie solution with a timeframe on release including a further software update that is required.

OpenMoxie will be released on January 17th 2025. This will enable Moxie to function without the need for connection to Embodied’s servers.

Second Software Update 24.10.803 is required to ensure OpenMoxie compatibility. When connected to Wifi Moxie will download a further software update which will take about an hour and the Moxie app will notify you once this is completed.

Embodied will support cloud operation until January 30, 2025. Ensure you connect your Moxie to Wifi and update the software before this deadline.

Try switching Moxie off and trying again. Did you get this to work eventually?
