Yes. At first it checks about every 30 seconds. Over time it slows down to about every 15 minutes.

Make sure the hotspot is on: press and hold the left button for 5 seconds until the LED eyes turn blue. The hotspot turns off automatically about 2 minutes after a successful connection, so turn it on again if needed.
