Operating Your Smart Plug

Manual Control:

Each SYLVANIA Smart Plug has a physical button on its side. Press this button once to manually turn the connected device On or Off. The LED indicator on the plug will change color to show its status (e.g., blue for On, off for Off).

App Control:

Open the SYLVANIA SMART+ WiFi App on your smartphone. From the device list, select the smart plug you wish to control. You can toggle its power On/Off, set schedules, and create routines directly from the app. This allows for remote control from anywhere with an internet connection.

Voice Control:

After linking your SYLVANIA account with Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you can use voice commands to control your smart plug. Ensure your voice assistant device is properly configured and connected to the same network as your smart plug.

• Example Commands for Alexa:
  • "Alexa, turn on [Device Name]."
  • "Alexa, turn off [Device Name]."
  • "Alexa, schedule [Device Name] to turn on at 7:00 AM."
• Example Commands for Google Assistant:
  • "Hey Google, turn on [Device Name]."
  • "Hey Google, turn off [Device Name]."
  • "Hey Google, set a routine for [Device Name]."

Scheduling and Routines:

Utilize the SYLVANIA SMART+ WiFi App to create custom schedules and routines for your smart plugs. This feature allows you to automate your devices to turn on or off at specific times, or based on certain conditions (e.g., sunrise/sunset, presence detection if supported by your smart home system).

Maintenance and Safety

• Cleaning: To clean the smart plug, ensure it is unplugged from the wall outlet. Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Environment: This product is designed for indoor use only. Avoid exposing the smart plug to water, moisture, high humidity, or extreme temperatures.
• Overload Protection: Do not exceed the maximum electrical rating of the smart plug. Refer to the specifications section for details. Overloading can cause overheating and fire hazards.
• Placement: Ensure the smart plug is inserted fully into the wall outlet. Do not force it into an outlet.
• Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the smart plug. This will void the warranty and could lead to electrical shock or fire.
• Children and Pets: Keep the smart plug out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental unplugging or tampering.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Smart Plug is not responding to app or voice commands.

• Check Power: Ensure the smart plug is securely plugged into a working outlet and has power.
• WiFi Connection: Verify that your smart plug is connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Check your router and internet connection.
• App Status: Ensure the SYLVANIA SMART+ WiFi App is up to date and you are logged in.
• Voice Assistant Link: Confirm that your SYLVANIA account is correctly linked to Amazon Alexa or Google Home. Try unlinking and relinking if necessary.

• Proximity: Place the smart plug close to your WiFi router during the initial setup process.

Problem: Smart Plug LED indicator is off or blinking erratically.

• No Power: The plug may not be receiving power. Check the outlet and circuit breaker.
