Configure Device Network
Note: To configure the device network, you only need to configure it once
under normal circumstances, and there is no need to configure it again after
successful configuration. You need to reconfigure it when you experience the
following scenarios:
a). The wifi account or password for the device connection has changed;
b). You delete the device from the app, and you need to reconfigure it when
reconnecting
-
The charging point will be connected to the network through WiFi, so a 2.4GHz WiFi network is required near your device, and please ensure that your phone has Bluetooth and WiFi enabled
-
Open the Smart Life app, click the plus sign button in the upper right corner, and select Add Device
-
Select Other -> Other Devices (Bluetooth) -> Next -> Search for a device -> Enter wifi information -> Wait for the download device panel to complete -> Enter the device interface
-
After the device is configured successfully, you can share the device with individuals or groups, so that when the shared individuals or groups log in to the Smart Life app, they can also see the newly added device. The operation is as follows: enter the device panel ->click the edit button in the upper right corner >Shared device
-
If the device connection times out, it may be caused by the following reasons:
1. WiFi network is not connected to the Internet
2. The router does not operate in the 2.4GHz band
3. Chinese or other special characters appear in the wifi name
4. Mobile phone is far from the device
5. The device is far from the router
To solve the above problem, repeat the configuration operation and the setup will be successful. If the problem still cannot be solved, please contact the supplier for handling

Device Binding
Note: After configuring the network for the device using the Smart Life
app, the device will be bound to the account logged in to the Smart Life app
by default If this device is being bound for the first time and the network is
configured according to the normal process, the device binding is complete.
If multiple people use the device, it may occur that the network cannot be
configured for the device. This is because the device has already been
configured with the network, and the network is currently in a normal
connection state, so it is not possible to configure the network again. In
this case, if you want to connect to the device using the app, you can use the
following methods:
-
When it is clear who has bound the device:
• You can contact the bound user to share the device with you
• Contact the bound user to delete the device, and then reconfigure the device network -
“If it is unclear who has bound the device, it is necessary to forcibly disconnect the device’s WiFi network connection before reconfiguring the network.”
• Change the wifi account and password connected to the device, restart the device, and reconfigure the device network after the device enters the distribution network mode
• Turn off the router that connects the device to the WiFi, restart the device, and after the device enters the distribution network mode, reconfigure the device to connect to other WiFi networks
