To control your WOOX Smart Wi-Fi Plugs, you need to install the WOOX Home app (or Tuya Smart app, as WOOX products often integrate with the Tuya platform) on your smartphone or tablet.
- Search for "WOOX Home" or "Tuya Smart" in the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).
- Download and install the app.
- Open the app and register for a new account or log in if you already have one.
4.2 Device Pairing
Follow these steps to pair your WOOX Smart Wi-Fi Plug with the app:
- Plug the WOOX Smart Wi-Fi Plug into a power outlet.
- Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. The plugs do not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi.
- Open the WOOX Home app. Tap the "+" icon in the top right corner to add a device.
- Select "Electrical" or "Socket (Wi-Fi)" from the device list.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to put the plug into pairing mode (usually by pressing and holding the power button on the plug until the indicator light blinks rapidly).
- Confirm the indicator light is blinking rapidly in the app.
- Enter your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network password.
- The app will then attempt to connect to the device. Once connected, you can rename the plug for easier identification.
Bluetooth Pairing (for faster connection): The plug supports Bluetooth for a quicker initial connection to the app. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone during the pairing process. This facilitates the Wi-Fi setup but the plug operates primarily over Wi-Fi.
