Wemo Smart Plug Stuck? Here's How to Reset It

Wemo Smart Plugs are a great way to control your appliances and devices remotely, but sometimes they can get stuck or stop working properly. If you're having trouble with your Wemo Smart Plug, don't worry – there are a few simple steps you can take to reset it and get it working again.

Step 1: Unplug the Smart Plug

The first step to resetting your Wemo Smart Plug is to unplug it from the wall. This will ensure that any power or data connections are severed, allowing the plug to reset itself completely.

Step 2: Wait for 10 Seconds

After unplugging the Smart Plug, wait for at least 10 seconds before plugging it back in. This will give the plug enough time to reset itself and clear any stored data or settings.

Step 3: Press and Hold the Reset Button

Next, locate the reset button on the Smart Plug. This is usually a small button located on the side or bottom of the plug. Press and hold the reset button for at least 5 seconds, until the light on the plug starts flashing rapidly.

Step 4: Reconnect the Smart Plug

Once the light on the Smart Plug is flashing rapidly, you can reconnect it to the wall. Simply plug it back in and wait for the light to stop flashing. This may take a few seconds, but once the light is solid, the Smart Plug should be reset and ready to use again.

Step 5: Set Up the Smart Plug Again

If your Smart Plug was previously connected to a Wemo app or smart home device, you may need to set it up again. Follow the instructions provided by your app or device to reconnect the Smart Plug and start using it again.

Conclusion

If your Wemo Smart Plug is stuck or not working properly, resetting it is a simple and effective way to get it back up and running. By following these steps, you can reset your Smart Plug and start controlling your appliances and devices again.
