5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Connection Issues

• Cannot connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network. The Smart Plug Mini does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi. Move the plug closer to your router if the signal is weak.
• App not finding the device: Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone during the initial pairing process. Try resetting the plug by unplugging it for 10 seconds and plugging it back in.

5.2 Device Unresponsive

• Plug not responding to app/voice commands: Check your internet connection. If the internet is down, the plug can still be controlled via Bluetooth if you are within range. Ensure the plug's indicator light is on.
• Manual override: The plug has a physical button on the side. Press it to manually turn the connected appliance on or off if remote control is unavailable.
