Troubleshooting

• Device Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The device does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Check that the yard stake is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Wi-Fi signal strength can be weaker outdoors.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and try the connection process again.
  • Confirm your smartphone is connected to the 2.4GHz network during setup.
• Device Not Responding:
  • Verify the yard stake is plugged into a working GFCI outlet.
  • Check the app for the device's status. Ensure it shows as online.
  • If using voice control, ensure the Enbrighten skill/action is enabled and your accounts are linked.
  • Unplug the yard stake for 10 seconds and plug it back in to perform a soft reset.
• Outlets Not Working:
  • Confirm the yard stake is powered ON via the app or voice command.
  • Ensure connected devices are properly plugged into the outlets and are functional.
  • Remember that all six outlets operate together; individual control is not available.
• Intermittent Connection Issues:
  • Poor Wi-Fi signal strength is a common cause. Consider moving the yard stake closer to your router or using a Wi-Fi extender.
  • Obstructions like walls, trees, or other electronic devices can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.
