Troubleshooting
QQ: Why haven’t I received a registration verification
email?
• Check to make sure that your email address is
correct.
• Try checking your spam or trash folders for the
verification email.
• If you still haven’t received the email, please
contact Customer Support (page 48).
QQ: Why can’t I connect my smart switch to my WiFi
network during Setup?
• Make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz
WiFi network. If you need to change your
network, refer to “How do I change my WiFi
network to a 2.4GHz WiFi network?”
Note: Smart switches currently only support
2.4GHz WiFi networks, but you can use any
available network—even cellular data networks—to
control the smart switch from your phone once
you’ve finished configuration.
42
• Make sure your wireless network router is close
enough to your smart switch. The smart switch
must be within a 164 ft (50 m) visible range from
the router.
• Check your WiFi network to make sure MAC
address filtering is turned off.
• Make sure you don’t have too many devices
connected to your router (10 or fewer is best).
• Clear your VeSync app cache.
• Factory reset your smart switch (see Resetting,
page 41). If resetting does not fix the problem,
contact Customer Support (page 48).
QQ: How do I change my WiFi network to a 2.4GHz
WiFi network?
1. Make sure your router is a dual band router
(most dual band routers support both 5GHz and
2.4GHz networks).
2. On your phone settings, set your WiFi network to
2.4GHz. Most 5GHz WiFi are suffixed by “_5G.”
Select the network that does NOT have “5G” in
its name.
3. Some routers hide the 2.4GHz WiFi network.
If you have trouble finding or setting up your
2.4GHz network, please contact your router
manufacturer to get support.
4. Open your VeSync app, and it should
automatically sync with your network.
QQ: Why won’t the VeSync app let me add my smart
switch?
• If someone else already set up the smart switch,
ask them to share the smart switch with you (see
Share Device, page 34) so that you can control it
with your VeSync account.
• Check to make sure that your WiFi password was
entered correctly.
• Try using APN Configuration Mode (page 16).
• Make sure your smart switch firmware is up to
date (see Firmware Updates, page 40).
• Factory reset your smart switch (see Resetting,
page 41). If resetting does not fix the problem,
contact Customer Support (page 48).
QQ: After adding my smart switch to VeSync, why
won’t the smart switch icon appear on the “My
Home” screen of the VeSync app?
• After adding your smart switch to the VeSync
app (see Setup, page 10), refresh the main menu
screen (by switching between screens, or closing
and reopening the app), and the smart switch
should appear on the “My Home” screen.
QQ: Why won’t my smart switch respond to my app
commands?
• Make sure your WiFi network is working properly.
• Make sure your smart switch is properly installed.
• Make sure your wireless network router is close
enough to your smart switch. The smart switch
must be within a 164 ft (50 m) visible range from
the router.
• Do not use a metal faceplate with your smart
switch. This may cause WiFi signal interference.
• Factory reset your smart switch (see Resetting,
page 41). If resetting does not fix the problem,
contact Customer Support (page 48).
QQ: Alexa/Google Home can’t find my app or can’t
discover my smart switch.
• Make sure your wireless network router is close
enough to your smart switch. The smart switch
must be within a 164 ft (50 m) visible range from
the router.
43
• Check that your Alexa/Google Home is working
properly.
• Make sure your smart switch name is simple
to speak. Different accents or unusual
pronunciations can make it difficult for Alexa and
Google Home to recognize device names.
• Try reconnecting your Alexa/Google Home.
• Factory reset your smart switch (see Resetting,
page 41). If resetting does not fix the problem,
contact Customer Support (page 48).
QQ: Why isn’t my smart switch turning on/off as
scheduled?
• Check to make sure that the schedule is still
turned on (the toggle button should be green,
not gray).
• Check to make sure that your phone’s Location
Services are turned on.
• Make sure the smart switch is connected to a
working network and is not offline.
44
QQ: I’m unable to control my smart switch, and the
WiFi indicator light on the smart switch is blinking
continuously.
• Check to make sure that your WiFi network is
online.
• Make sure your wireless network router is close
enough to your smart switch. The smart switch
must be within a 164 ft (50 m) visible range from
the router.
• Factory reset your smart switch (see Resetting,
page 41). If resetting does not fix the problem,
contact Customer Support (page 48).
QQ: I believe my smart switch is defective. What
should I do?
• Contact Customer Support (page 48).
