Meross Smart Plug Reset: Step-by-Step Guide

Meross smart plugs are one of the most popular smart home devices on the market. They allow you to control your appliances from anywhere, using the Meross app on your smartphone, or with voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. However, there may be times when you need to reset your Meross smart plug. This can happen if you’re having trouble connecting it to your Wi-Fi network, or if it’s not responding to your commands. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to reset your Meross smart plug.

Step 1: Unplug Your Meross Smart Plug

The first step in resetting your Meross smart plug is to unplug it from the electrical outlet. This will ensure that there is no power running to the device, and will prevent any potential electrical hazards. Make sure that you unplug the device safely, by pulling the plug out from the socket and not by yanking the cord.

Step 2: Press and Hold the Power Button

Once you have unplugged your Meross smart plug, locate the power button on the device. This is usually located on the side or the front of the plug. Press and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds. You should see the LED light on the device start to blink rapidly. This indicates that the device is now in reset mode.

Step 3: Connect Your Phone to the Meross Smart Plug Wi-Fi Network

Now that your Meross smart plug is in reset mode, you need to connect your phone to its Wi-Fi network. To do this, go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings and look for the Meross Wi-Fi network. The network name will usually be something like ‘Meross_XXXX’. Once you have found the network, connect to it using the password provided in the Meross app.

Step 4: Open the Meross App

Once your phone is connected to the Meross Wi-Fi network, open the Meross app. If you don’t already have the app installed on your phone, you can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store. Once you have the app open, click on the ‘Add Device’ button.

Step 5: Follow the In-App Setup Instructions

Now that you have clicked on the ‘Add Device’ button, the Meross app will guide you through the setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Meross smart plug to your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your Wi-Fi network name and password, and then wait for the app to connect to the device. Once the device is connected, you can give it a name and assign it to a room in your home.

Step 6: Test Your Meross Smart Plug

Once you have completed the setup process, it’s time to test your Meross smart plug. Make sure that the device is plugged into an electrical outlet, and that the appliance you want to control is plugged into the smart plug. Open the Meross app and try turning the appliance on and off. If everything is working correctly, you should be able to control the device from anywhere, using the app or your voice.
