Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the device is unplugged before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Outdoor Placement: While weather-resistant (IP44 rated), it is recommended to orient the plug so that the outlets face downwards to prevent water accumulation. It is not designed for submersion in water.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect the plug and connected cords for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
- Device Offline: Ensure the smart plug is within range of your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi router. Check your Wi-Fi connection and router status. If Wi-Fi is temporarily unavailable, you can still use the manual power button.
- Unable to Pair: Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Ensure your mobile device is close to the smart plug during pairing. Try resetting the smart plug by holding its power button for several seconds until the indicator light flashes.
- Voice Control Not Responding: Verify that the smart plug is correctly linked to your voice assistant app (Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri) and that the device names match. Check your internet connection.
