Smart Plug – FQA

1. Q:I have a dual Wi-Fi router. How can I connect the smart plug to it?
   

   • Initially, connect our smart devices to the app requires the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. After a successful connection, you can enable the 5GHz, and the devices should work fine.
     Some home routers operate on a 5GHz frequency, this video shows you how to easily force your Wi-Fi to connect on a 2.4GHz frequency: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JONmJhS_rIk

If the method above doesn’t work, you can follow these steps below to confirm that you are using the 2.4GHz frequency during the initial device-to-app connection.

1. Access the “Wireless Settings” page of your router (usually found on the label at the back).
2. Locate the 2.4GHz settings page and change the Wi-Fi name (SSID) to “xxx-2.4G”. Save the settings.
3. Find the 5GHz settings page and change the Wi-Fi name (SSID) to “xxx-5G”. Save the settings.
4. Once the name changes are completed, you’ll see two Wi-Fi names, “xxx-2.4G” and “xxx-5G,” in the Wi-Fi search page on your mobile phone. Choose the 2.4G option.
5. In your phone’s Wi-Fi settings, forget the network and reconnect, selecting only the 2.4G option.
6. Finally, connect your smart devices to the app.

If your router is dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz), you can refer to this YouTube video for instructions on changing to the 2.4GHz frequency: youtube.com/watch?v=RU2LqJcyMhk

Q. After a power outage, my pluges no longer work and they are not connecting automatically to the app once the power is restored. Why is this happening?
After the power is turned off, the device should automatically reconnect. However, it’s possible that the plugs are not automatically connecting to the app due to various reasons. Here are a few possible explanations

1. Wi-Fi Disruption: The power outage may have caused disruptions in your Wi-Fi network. In such cases, the plugs may struggle to reconnect automatically to the app once the power is] restored. You may need to manually reconnect them to the Wi-Fi network.
2. Router Reset: S ometimes, during a power outage, the router may reset to its default settings. This can result in a different Wi-Fi network name (SSID) or password, causing the pluges to lose connectivity. Check your router settings to ensure they are correctly configured.
3. If there are too many devices connected on the router, some devices will fail to reconnect. In such case, you just need to reconnect the smart devices. To reconnect the smart plug to the app, please press and hold the plug on/off button for 5 seconds until the light flashes.
4. If your router is dual-band, please make sure to connect to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

Q:I am using the pluges with Apple Home app (HomeRight), I have not been able to program it to function automatically. What should I do?

• To enable remote control and automation with Apple HomeRight, you need a connected Apple device acting as a hub, such as a Homewood or Apple TV.
• This allows you to remotely control devices like turning off forgotten lights while you’re away or setting up automation programs like automatically turning on lights when you arrive home or turning them off when you leave. Having a hub device ensures that your HomeRight commands can be communicated to your smart devices even when you’re not on the same network.

• Although UL certification is highly regarded, FCC, RoHS, and CE certifications play a significant role in verifying product safety and adherence to standards. We have taken necessary measures to ensure the safety and reliability of our smart plug.
