29TroubleshootingQ: Why won’t my device respond to my app remote commands?Q: Why won’t the power usage data update in the app even when my outlet is in use?Q: Why won’t the VeSync app allow me to add a device?A: Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is working normally and that the outlet is fully and properly plugged in and connected to a device.A: Sometimes it takes some time for the power usage data to update. If you’re using a low power consumption appliance, data may take longer to transfer.• Follow the re-configuration steps on page 29.• If the device network was set up by another user, have the primary user “Share” the device to you so you may configure it to your own smart device.• Make sure your device’s firmware is updated to the latest version.• Make sure the password and account ID you’re inputting are correct.• Try configuration using APN mode.• Remove the outlet from its power supply; wait a few seconds and plug the outlet back in and re-attempt configuration.Q: After adding a device, why won’t the device icon appear on the main screen of the VeSync app?A: Refresh the main menu screen and the device should then normally appear on the screen.Q: After moving an outlet to another socket, it’s appearing as offline/the light is slowly blinking blue. Why is this happening?• Check to make sure the device isn’t placed too far from the network wireless router. It must be within a 164 ft (50m) visible range from the router.• Check to make sure the network hasn’t changed and is functioning normally.• Reset the outlet by pressing and holding the outlet power button for 20 seconds and releasing when the indicator light begins to flash quickly. Then, re-configure the outlet with the network.
