Connect with Your Cellphone

Requirements: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network

Please note:

• If you only have a 5GHz Wi-Fi router, you will not be able to complete the connection.
• If you are using a dual Wi-Fi router that broadcasts two Wi-Fi signals, make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal (the one not labeled "_5G").
• If you are using a dual-band Wi-Fi router that broadcasts only one Wi-Fi signal, you will need to manage your Wi-Fi router settings to enable a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal.

Connection Methods

A: Connection via Bluetooth

Indicator light blinks rapidly (twice a second)

• Confirm Bluetooth is activated on your smartphone. If using Android, location permission must be allowed.
• Confirm the smart plug is plugged into a live outlet.
• Open the HBN Smart app. A dialogue box will pop up indicating the device has been discovered. Tap "Go to add".
• Select the device you wish to add.

C: AP Mode (Indicator light blinks once every 2 seconds)

If the Easy Mode connection failed, remove and reinstall the smart plug. When the indicator blinks quickly, it is in Easy Mode. Hold the power button for about 7 seconds to enter AP Mode. Once the indicator light blinks slowly (every 2 seconds), you can try AP Mode connection.

Troubleshooting

Q: Why did my phone connection fail?

A:

• Try both Easy Mode and AP Mode, carefully following the guides on pages 5-11.
• Confirm your home Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz and that you entered the correct password.
• Remove and reinstall the smart plug to start again.
• Contact customer support if problems persist.

Q: Why can't I voice control the plug with my Alexa/Google?

A:

• Ensure the smart plug is connected successfully on the HBN Smart app and is working correctly.
• Verify that the same account is linked as a skill on Alexa/Google App.
• Check if your Alexa/Google device is functioning properly.
• Ensure device names are non-repetitive and recognizable for voice assistants.

Q: Do I need to set up the device again if I changed my router?
