Troubleshooting
Q: Why aren’t my outlets connecting?
• During the setup process, you must be on a 2.4GHz WiFi network.
• Make sure the WiFi password you entered is correct.
• Be sure the LED light on the outlet matches the method of setup
(see Light Indication Chart, page 7).
• Try moving your router closer to your outlet (164 ft / 50 m visible
range is best).
• Make sure you don’t have too many devices connected to your
router (10 or fewer is best).
• Close and reopen the VeSync app.
• Clear your VeSync app cache.
• Factory reset your smart outlet (see Factory Reset, page 50).
Q: How do I change my WiFi network to a 2.4GHz WiFi network?
• Most dual-band routers support both 2.4G and 5G networks. Select
the WiFi name that does not end in “_5G”.
• If your phone is attempting to connect to the 5G network, try
“forgetting” or temporarily disabling the 5G network.
• If you are unsure, or if the 2.4G and 5G networks do not have
separate names, please contact your internet service provider.
Q: I already have another outlet connected. Why won’t this outlet
connect?
• Close and relaunch the VeSync app, then reset the outlet that is
not connecting.
• Use APN Mode to set up the outlet (see page 13).
53
Q: I’m using APN Mode, but can’t find the “ESP” access point.
• Press and hold the power button on the outlet for 10-14 seconds to
trigger APN Mode. The “ESP” access point will appear in your list
of available WiFi connections.
• During APN Mode, the LED light on the outlet will slowly blink blue.
You will have 5 minutes to pair the outlet with your phone.
Q: My outlet is offline.
• Delete the offline outlet from the VeSync app. Swipe left (iOS) or
tap and hold (Android), and tap Delete.
• Hard reset the outlet by pressing and holding the power button for
more than 20 seconds. The LED light will blink rapidly and turn off.
• Once the outlet has been deleted and reset, reconfigure your
outlet with the VeSync app.
Note: Power outages or changing WiFi routers may cause your outlets to
go offline.
Q: Why won’t the VeSync app let me add my smart outlet?
• If the smart outlet is already added to another person’s VeSync
app, ask them to share the smart outlet with you (see Share
Your Smart Outlet, page 35) so that you can control it with your
VeSync account.
• Be sure your WiFi password is entered correctly.
• Use APN Mode (page 13).
• Make sure your smart outlet firmware is up to date (see Firmware
Updates, page 50).
• Factory reset your smart outlet (see Factory Reset, page 50).
Q: After adding my smart outlet to VeSync, why won’t the smart
54
outlet icon appear on the “My Home” screen of the VeSync app?
• After adding your smart outlet to the VeSync app (see VeSync
App Setup, page 8), refresh the main menu screen by closing and
reopening the app.
Q: Alexa or Google Home can’t find my app or can’t discover my
smart outlet.
• Make sure your wireless network router is close enough to your
smart outlet. The smart outlet must be within a 164 ft (50 m)
visible range from the router.
• Check that your Alexa or Google Home is working properly.
Q: Why isn’t my smart outlet turning on/off as scheduled?
