The Handy Ecosystem
Online Connectivity
As an online-enabled device, the Handy can be connected to your Wi-Fi. Getting the Handy online allows the device to receive firmware updates, synchronize with interactive videos, be controlled remotely, and connect to any Handy-compatible service.
Handy Software Updates
The software running inside the Handy itself is called the firmware. The Handy’s firmware is periodically updated to add features, fix bugs, and improve overall stability.
Updates are automatically available on HandyFeeling when they are released.
In summer 2021, the Handy received a major firmware update — Firmware 3. You can read the release notes here and you can see the changes to device behavior here.
Handy Connect App
The Handy Connect app allows you to connect to your Handy running Firmware 3 over Bluetooth. On the older firmware, connecting to the Handy was done over Wi-Fi.
