Troubleshooting

Q: Why did my phone connection fail?

A:

• You should try both Bluetooth or WiFi Direct Connection mode (refer to pages 3-6), make sure to follow the guide and try again.
• Confirm your home Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz and that you've entered the correct password during the connection.
• Remove & Install the smart plug to start again. Contact the customer support team for assistance if you still have problems with the connection after following the steps above.

Q: How to connect with Alexa?

A:

• Modify device name so that your Amazon Alexa can easily recognize the name. For Example: Living Room Lamp, Bedroom Light.
• Use Alexa App or Computer to set up your Amazon Alexa. In the menu bar, go to "Skills" and search for "BN-HUB". Enable Skill, then type in your login info from your app account to finish the account linking.
• Ask Alexa to discover devices. Then you can control your devices using voice through your Amazon Alexa product.

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

A:

• Make sure the smart plug is connected successfully on the BN-HUB app. Ensure that they are working well by testing to see if you can turn the plug on and off through the app.
• Make sure the same account is linked on the BN-HUB as a skill on Alexa Google App. Make sure your Alexa/Google device is working fine.
• Check the device names that you set for this smart plug; it should be non-repetitive and recognizable for voice assistants.

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

A:

• Yes, you must set up the smart plug again if there are any changes to the current Wi-Fi status (i.e., changing the name of the Wi-Fi, changing the router). There is no need to set the device up again if you are just changing the placement of the router in the same house.

Q: Why does it turns on/off or comes offline surprisingly?

A:

• Make sure your connection to the Wi-Fi is not interrupted. Check to see if there were any timers/schedules set for the plug.
• If everything looks fine, reset the plug and install it again on the app. Email us at support@bn-link.com if the problem still persists.
