Wemo Smart Plug Reset: Common Issues and Solutions

Wemo Smart Plugs are the perfect solution for anyone who wants to control their home appliances and electronics from anywhere. These small devices allow you to turn your devices on and off remotely, set schedules, and even control them with your voice through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. However, like any electronic device, they are not immune to issues. In this article, we will discuss some of the common problems that you may encounter with your Wemo Smart Plug and how to reset it.

Problem #1: Wemo Smart Plug not connecting to Wi-Fi network

If you are having trouble connecting your Wemo Smart Plug to your Wi-Fi network, there are a few things that you can try. First, make sure that your Wi-Fi network is working properly. Check to see if other devices in your home are connected to the network. If they are, then the issue may be with the Smart Plug itself.

The next thing that you should try is resetting the Smart Plug. To do this, unplug the device from the wall and wait for 10 seconds. Then, plug it back in and wait for the light to turn on. Once it does, press and hold the button on the side of the Smart Plug for 10 seconds. The light should start flashing, indicating that it is ready to be set up again.

Problem #2: Wemo Smart Plug not responding to voice commands

If you are having trouble getting your Wemo Smart Plug to respond to voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, there are a few things that you can try. First, make sure that your Smart Plug is connected to your home Wi-Fi network and that it is properly set up in the Alexa or Google Assistant app.

If the Smart Plug is connected and set up correctly, then the issue may be with the voice assistant itself. Try restarting the device that you are using to control the Smart Plug, such as your Amazon Echo or Google Home. If that doesn't work, then try resetting the Smart Plug by following the steps outlined in Problem #1.

Problem #3: Wemo Smart Plug not turning on or off

If your Wemo Smart Plug is not turning on or off, there are a few things that you can try. First, make sure that the Smart Plug is properly connected to the device that you are trying to control. Check to see if the device is plugged in and turned on.

If the device is properly connected and turned on, then the issue may be with the Smart Plug itself. Try resetting the Smart Plug by following the steps outlined in Problem #1. If that doesn't work, then try using a different device to control the Smart Plug, such as the Wemo app on your smartphone.
