Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Outlet not connecting to Wi-Fi:

• Ensure your home Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The Geeni Smart WiFi In-Wall Outlet does not support 5GHz networks.
• Verify your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during the pairing process.
• Move closer to your Wi-Fi router during setup to ensure a strong signal.
• Reset the outlet by holding the manual On/Off button for approximately 3 seconds until the Wi-Fi indicator light blinks rapidly, then attempt pairing again.
• If the outlet disconnects frequently, try power cycling it by turning off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then turning it back on. This can often re-establish the connection without needing to re-pair.

Voice control not working:

• Ensure your Geeni account is correctly linked to your Alexa or Google Home app.
• Verify that your smart assistant has discovered the Geeni outlet. You may need to ask it to "discover devices" again.
• Check the device names in the Geeni app and your smart assistant app to ensure they match or are easily recognizable.

Outlet not responding to app commands:
