Setting Up Your Gosund Smart Plug for WiFi Connectivity: Everything You Need to Know If you've recently purchased a Gosund Smart Plug, congratulations! You're about to experience the convenience and energy savings that come with being able to control your devices with your phone or voice. But before you can start using your smart plug, you'll need to set it up for WiFi connectivity. In this article, we'll walk you through the process step by step. Step 1: Download the Gosund App The first thing you'll need to do is download the Gosund app to your smartphone or tablet. The app is available for free on both the App Store and Google Play. Once you've downloaded and installed the app, open it up and create an account if you don't already have one. Step 2: Plug In Your Smart Plug Next, plug your Gosund Smart Plug into a standard electrical outlet. Make sure the outlet is close enough to your WiFi router to get a strong signal. The plug's LED light should start flashing rapidly, indicating that it's ready to be set up. Step 3: Add Your Smart Plug to the App Now it's time to add your smart plug to the Gosund app. Open the app and tap the "Add Device" button. You'll be asked to select the type of device you're adding. Choose "Socket (Wi-Fi)" from the list. Step 4: Connect Your Smart Plug to WiFi The app will now guide you through the process of connecting your smart plug to your WiFi network. Make sure your smartphone or tablet is connected to the same WiFi network that you want your smart plug to connect to. The app will ask you to enter your WiFi network's name and password. Once you've entered the information, the app will attempt to connect your smart plug to your WiFi network. It may take a few minutes for the app to connect your smart plug to your WiFi network. If the app is unable to connect your smart plug, try moving the plug closer to your WiFi router or resetting the plug and trying again. Step 5: Name Your Smart Plug and Assign It to a Group Once your smart plug is connected to your WiFi network, you'll be asked to name it and assign it to a group. Naming your smart plug will make it easier to identify in the app, while assigning it to a group will allow you to control multiple devices at once. For example, you could assign your smart plug to a group called "Living Room" if you plan on using it to control devices in that room. Step 6: Start Using Your Smart Plug Congratulations, you've successfully set up your Gosund Smart Plug for WiFi connectivity! You can now start using the app to control your devices. Simply tap on the device you want to control and use the on/off switch to turn it on or off. You can also set schedules and timers to automatically turn your devices on or off at specific times. Final Thoughts Setting up your Gosund Smart Plug for WiFi connectivity is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. Once you've set it up, you'll be able to control your devices with your phone or voice, and enjoy the convenience and energy savings that come with using a smart plug.
